I have written a FAQ on BitcoinTalk. Would be great if you can point out some mistakes or what more can be added...

IIRC Bitcointalk.org is not owned(even partly) by cobra, its sirius(with theymos as the "management"), Cobra owns, bitcoin.org.

Will be posting other improvements if I notice any error
This is not correct

The maximum number of activity points one can get is 1 per day

You can claim all your activity(in once activity period) in one day

R is resultant trust depending on the trust weight of the trusted members according to DefaultTrust list.

You can exclude any member from your trust list even if he is in DefaultTrust, moreover you can exclude DT from your trust list altogether. Hence it depends on the users in your trust list, which by default is DT(hence the name)

The domain is jointly owned by me, Sirius, and Cobra.

So, Cøbra is definitely there. But, I'm confused regarding Sirius as he is inactive on this forum for long. Theymos might clarify this part.

Rough summary of what this means: If you post once per day on average, then you will eventually get the maximum number of activity points that you can get. Posting more than once per day on average is useless for increasing activity. The maximum number of activity points you can get is 1 per day, but your activity score only updates every two weeks. Therefore, it will take about 100 days to get 100 activity if you post once per day on average.

Thanx. That would be trust list. Not DefaultTrust list. Corrected.

He most likely meant something else with that statement, I've seen it:
1) Increase 14 activity posts at once if you make at least one post in the activity period(in which you haven't posted yet)
2) Increase by 14 activity points when you make 14 posts on the same day(/hour), if your post count is lower than/equal to your potential acitivity
