Do you have any guesses upon how this new formula is factored?

I'm sure that one could figure it out if they cared enough to play around with the numbers. Whatever it is, it isn't formulated for thread-starters, unless it is based off of a thread - flag ratio, though it still doesn't seem right.

This is what S.O. wrote, it is based on thread starters and flags.

Heads-up.

As alluded in my post on the new Karma number, the Way Above Top Secret index ("W") is being readjusted to more heavily-weight flags for thread-starters.

At some point today, your "W" numbers will be revised to reflect the new formula.

I read that earlier when I first seen that my WATS had changed. It did not help me very much in determining what the new formula could be.

I know what he said, as I read it, however the math says something else, at least the math I'm going by. The only way that could be the case, is if it is a thread-flag ratio, though still doesn't seem right.

Nope, not a thread - flag ratio.

I said it before and I'll say it again ... egonomics is complicated.

Now I am totally confused, the good news is that I don't really care.

Second line

I just don't get it either.

Maybe it's the numerical value of the letters in our names multiplied by the stars we didn't receive squared by the ratio of posts to thread success?

Some of ATS' most popular and prolifically polite members are less than 10 on Karma. Just maybe....maybe dammit! zero Karma is the goal?!

Perfect balance.

Any exact formulas that can be disclosed or are they way above top secret?

.....

Yes, I'm full of jokes. I'll be here all week.

Cheers, that's clearer. One thing I've noticed is that there's no where near the ruckous that kicked off in 08 with the removal of the contribution bars.

Is the media upload area coming back or has it been too fraught with litigation potential via copyright?

Just noticed I made a spelling mistake on a profile comment but when I tried to edit the mistake away, I got a blank white screen with the words error to the top left hand side..

Not that much of an issue admittedly, but thought you might like to know about it so maybe it can be fixed.

It's all good big guy......


Thanks for the headsup. For second I thought my BAD Karma was catching up with my WATS rating.
