Can you anyone explain the symbols on our avatars?

Not to be a downer but just noticed this...

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Any thoughts?

SkepticOverlord explains it in the last post.

As ATS is not a "game show" they probably arent going to give away a lottery sized award for anything listed.(rats , foiled again) . I look at it all as sort of giving the members recognition from peers and above for the quality of the posts and threads presented by those members.

I'm not sure how the trophy and lighting bolt icons are calculated -- if you hover your cursor over them you'll see the trophy is your WATS (way above top secret) score, and the lightning bolt is your "karma" score. I have no idea how those get totaled, in fact the karma one says, "oddly calculated".

I don't know much, they don't let me peek under the engine hood, I'd probably break something.

Is the karma score for all the good you've done or the evil?

I'm pretty sure "oddly calculated" is short for even SkepticOverlord does not have a clue. Rumors abound however.

Whatever you want it to mean, that's what it means.

Karma is easy to calculate. You just need a cat, a rabbit, six shot glasses, three darts, and a random number generator.
