I think the number of karma hits is an interesting idea too, so mine is 149 "Karma Bumps" making for an average hit of: 48 points per bump.

If anyone wants to figure their own out, you can see the list of bumps at the lower right of your control panel. There are 15 entries per page of that list, so just go to the last page and count how many are on it. Then you can figure it out by simple math. For example, I have 10 pages and there are 14 entries on my last page so: 15*9+14=149

I'll let you figure out how to do the points per bump on your own.

As a bit of color to my answer: while I admit I enjoy seeing the number jump. I far more value the 1 or 2 point bumps I get from new members that have found some answer of mine helpful to them.

Like Patricia, I also enjoy the little notes that come along with them, some of them are extremely amusing!

OK, 192 karma bumps for an average of 57.3 karmas per bump.

Hang on - you got cash too .........

Hold the poll - I call a foul - bribery in action here ......

I think I'm probably to blame for starting that particular trend.

The reason I did was that I got tired of hitting the "View Poll Results" every time I wanted to see the results of a poll that I didn't have an opinion on, or wasn't qualified to vote in (such as one aimed at iLiad users: I ain't one, so I can't really vote without skewing the results, unless there's an opt-out type choice).

Once you vote for any of the options, it always shows you the results when you return to the thread, without having to do anything special, so I thought, "why not include an 'opt out' type of answer?" So I did. Judging by the prevalence of them, I guess others liked the idea too.

Yeah, I got that line added on my last Poll

(in the Fictionwise forum).

However, there is another way to view the results without voting, just 'Log Out' and return as a Guest; not a Member. Then you can't vote, but can see the results.

Oh yeah, afterwards, be sure to login again.

p.s. reminds me of a funny incident when I first became a member here. I couldn't login the first few times because I kept putting my Username in the Password box, since the Username box was prefilled with 'Username'. Make Sense? Did I lose ya, eh?

So yes Zelda, there was someone here giving away donuts.

Yep, I got him too!!! Thought it was odd; but then again thought, maybe, it was a mobileread.com tradition...

p.s no doughnuts were sacrificed during the making/reading of these posts.

I can see where that would work, but I wouldn't call it less effort.

I think he was the only one giving away donuts.

Next time use that 'tongue-in-cheek' indicator AT THE BEGINNING!

-Thomas- · 04-23-2008, 08:02 PM

1195 / 82 = 14.54 Kppp (Karma points per post) => A2

Does it mean I'm famous now?

vivaldirules · 04-23-2008, 08:03 PM

Speaking of emoticons, I've been experimenting recently with not using them at all (Taylor's passive emotifaction). Unfortunately, it's become clear to me that my posts badly need smileys sprinkled throughout lest my intentions be misunderstand. So I'm ending that experiment. And with that, let me restate to GeoffC:

"You mean you don't get cash? You're kiddin', aren't you?"

To launch to greater heights, try computing your Karma points per bump!

-Thomas- · 04-23-2008, 08:10 PM

7 bumps for 1195 points => 170.71 Kppb
