My Karma has dropped!

a reply to: Mindspace2018

Your Karma score is based on stars to posts...somehow. Get more stars, Karma rises.

Of course, our egos insist

To borrow from schuler

....

Now, K = Karma K = (stars * 15) + ((flags + applause) * 10) / posts. Example: 7619 stars * 15 = 114285 (524 flags + 92 applauses) * 10 = 6160 114285 + 6160 = 120445 120445 / 4074 posts = 29.5643103 rounded to 30 Note that here quantity can hurt you if you don't also get stars and flags.

...

ATS may use points for other things, but we don't know what they are.It seems a bit odd that one applause can earn you 500 points, but it only counts the same as a single flag for the Karma score and not at all for the WATS score.

Hope that helps

ATS: source

Cody also tells you how WATS score works.

Darn math!

eta: I was going to say something like, "Your karma dropped? I guess you are going to have to pick it up then, aren'tcha?" or, "Your karma dropped because you are enlightened!" but figured math was punishment enough!

Whatever you do in this life, just always remember. Never pay attention to that stat. Act as though you have never seen it. There are some things that are still left best unknown.
