So the lower the ratio, the better? Is that right? Lots of karma per post?

Karma:Post ratio, so yes lots of karma per post is good, but no, that means the higher the better.

Yours is a respectable 6.5

Depends. Which head?


As you can see, I am actively working on lowering my ratio.

Actually, that "there can be only one" thing is now in a different light-- only one...head?

How does that work? One head makes you larger, and one head makes you small...?

I see this too was a simple posts:karma ratio, although nrapallo split his poll according to the number of posts made.

Perhaps we need to look at some more complicated formula. Perhaps (karma-10):SQRT(posts) would be interesting, to compensate for the initial Karma grant and the fact that karma tends to grow more slowly that number of posts.
Ouch, that hurts (the bold part above). It's basically the only thing newbies have on us veterans and here you go and neutralize that advantage that they had! meanie...

Although your use of the SQRT would then actually help newbies who have at least contributed some and received a lot of (initial) karma. Talk about taketh and giveth...

Moral here: ratios are too simplistic and prone to statistical misuse/abuse.

p.s. 10+:1 here, by a bit!

I updated that 2008 Poll (see this post) with the changes from 2008 to now (2009). Some went up, some down and even a few managed to remain relatively constant...
