What's your Karma:Post ratio?
A wonderfully silly measure of the mobileread membership just occurred to me.
What's your Karma:Post ratio? Mine's 4.6:1 HarryT's is 1.6:1* Patricia's is 8.2:1 Someone on their first post has a 10:1 ratio. Has anyone got a ratio above 10:1? Is there a better formula? e.g. Karma:SQRT(Posts)? *yes, I invented this just to have a measure where I beat HarryT Last edited by pdurrant; 06-15-2009 at 05:23 AM. Reason: clarity |

I was actually thinking about this just tonight. I'm guessing I have a very low ratio compared to most people (in other words, if it's a contest, I think I'm losing! ). I did make probably a good half of my posts in the introduce yourself lounge, welcoming new members. Not a ton of karma in that arena, especially because new members have very little "clout."
But I'm ok with this I know it's not a reflection of my worth... is it??? Mine is 4.1:1... did I do that correctly? School's out. I don't usually do a lot of thinking in the summer. Maybe mine's not as terrible as I thought.... Last edited by GraceKrispy; 06-15-2009 at 05:12 AM. Reason: had to actually *see* my post to figure my karma |

Hmm - 1.3:1 or so. I would note that most of my posts test to be to try & help newcomers, who typically don't know of the karma system (and those who do, don't have much to give anyway)! :-)

I wondered whether it could possibly be original. I suppose I should have done a search.

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. |
