I had no idea what forum to put this in, so here it is...

What do all these different ATS user stats mean?

On the left side:

<<<<<<<<<<

P = Posts = Number of posts that user has made
F = Flags= Number of flags that user has received on their threads
S = Stars = Number of stars that user has received on their posts
W = WATS Index = ???
K = ???

---

And on each user's profile page:

ATS Points = ???
Applause = ???

Post
Stars
Flags
Way Above Top Secret....

and Karma

You get applause from mods for good posts/threads.....you gain WATS for authoring threads, and karma for posting replies.

Look in the freshman forums...i think its explained better there

Oh wow, there are way more forums than I thought... I should have scrolled down more

wondered that myself.....but karma?????

It is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo designed to condition you to post in a manner the ATS gods desire.

Just ignore them as they have no impact on your real life.

i've got 1350 posts and 10 k points.
doesn't make sense.

Everybody starts with 20 K points, which are then divided by the number of posts. So everybody has 10 points on their second post. But then other things like stars are multiplied in, which is how you got back up to 10.
