The Karma System!

It’s become obvious that many of you have questions about the new Karma system. So here’s where we answer some of them.

Why the switch?

Well, as you’ve all probably noticed, we had a big problem with post whoring on the forums. A lot of the decline in the level of discourse on here has come from the (really stupid) idea that someone with more posts is more worth listening to. So people will post anything, no matter how worthless and inane, to move their post count up a notch. Look at skiierman (who’s now banned). A lot of us feel that beyond the annoying practice of calling people noobs for having post counts under 500, this actually damages the way people talk about things on the site by cluttering everything up. Also, no one cares what they post because it’s the internet and there are no consequences, and even posting hateful BS will bump your post count. So here we have a system where the members at large can adjust peoples’ karma by peer-rating them, and the results will be displayed for all to see. Hopefully this will affect the way people behave: if you hate, if you act like a complete moron, people will rate you 15 or 20, whereas if you offer useful advice and help people out people will rate you 85 or 90. That’s how the good members emerge. Back in 04-05, I guarantee if we had this, people like D-loc would’ve had ratings in the 10-20 range whereas Rebel or Trevorwoulddoit would have been up in the 80s or higher. So I can see this working, provided people peer rate, and don’t try to abuse the system. Trying to abuse the system results in us manually setting your karma to something pathetically low when we find out by running ip traces... we’ve also tried to make it as difficult as possible to do. So hopefully, where post count is easy to abuse (like, say, spamming the luxembourg forum, for which we’ve had to ban people in the past), this one will be very hard to abuse because you don’t know what goes into it and it’s easy to punish abusers. At the same time, social pressure will, we hope, make for a better forum experience.

Where will we see Karma ratings?

Right now karma is displayed in your profile. That’s the only way to see it and the only way to affect it. But that’s only the beginning, because obviously the system hasn’t reached fruition and a LOT of members’ karma ratings will be going up or down over the course of the next few months. Once we decide if the system is a success or not, we’re talking about potentially doing away with post count display and simply displaying karma rating instead, or relegating post count to a line in the member profile. Whether we do that, time will tell.

How is Karma Affected?

One of the main security ideas that was introduced into this new system to prevent abuse is that we don’t tell anyone what the metrics are that affect karma, and you never know when something you’ve done has affected your karma. That way it’s harder for people to spam doing whatever will boost karma, and thereby give themselves a 100 rating. It’s also important to know that while peer ratings will cause your karma to shift, it’s only one of many, many factors. People will say, “well then how do we know what you want us to do? We can’t obey a code of conduct without knowing what it is”. Well, use your common sense. Contributing to the site and being a generally rad individual will probably boost your karma. Do you submit a lot of reviews? Contribute to the snazzy new “cult news” page? Make good threads that generate a lot of discussion? Chances are your karma rating will benefit. It’s not as simple as doing those things, because as I say there are literally HUNDREDS of factors affecting your karma that come down to little numbers in the site code, so it’d be hard to explain even if we wanted to publicize it. Most people know what a good member is, though, so just use your instincts as a guide, and if you notice everyone calling you a douchebag, well, your instincts probably suck.

“I have a rating of 52! What did I do wrong? Why do I suck so much at NS?”

You don’t! Don’t worry. 50 is the NEUTRAL RATING. This isn’t like high school where you get a C minus for a 50%, a 50% is basically like a 73% on your report card: it’s the average mark. We have over 100,000 members here, 50 is an average rating, so that means you’re as good as 50,000 people! Okay, it doesn’t quite work like that, but that’s a good way to think about it. Right now it seems like everyone and their mom is over 50 karma, but I assure you it won’t stay that way. By peer rating and by tweaking the system, you will start to see some of the people in the 80s come down into the 60s, some of the people in the 60s move up into the 80s, and some people move down into the 30s. Over time, the system is designed to adjust to accurately reflect who a member is. So if you have a 50 rating, fret not, it may go up, or it may not, and if it doesn’t, that’s not a bad thing, it’s just not a “great” thing.                   

“How does rating members work?”

Go into a member’s profile and give them a mark out of 100. If you think they’re just ok, give them 50. If you think they suck, give them 30. If you think they’re good at life, give them 65, or 75-80 if they kick ass. If they’re the antichrist, give them 15 or less, and if they’re NoPoles, give them 85-100. It’s pretty easy to figure out, and you do NOT have to wait for the page to reload every time you boost someone a karma point, just keep clicking fast and it’ll keep going up or down.

“Is this the final product?”

No! The whole thing could change substantially in look, function, substance, or any other way you might think of in the coming weeks, depending on what works and what doesn’t. Just be patient and, most importantly, MAKE USE OF THE SYSTEM, so we can judge if it’s working or not!

Any other questions?

I still don't get the point of it... no one cared about post count really (at least no one important did) and no one called people noobs for having a low post count, they called people noobs if they said something stupid...

And now we have a method of disinclining people from saying stupid things. If they do people will drop their karma. No one wants that. At the very least, if they don't give a shit about their karma, it'll go down so low that people will see it and won't bother paying attention to them. There have even been ideas thrown around about an option in your profile to ignore posts and messages from members below a certain level of karma. These are all just ideas of course.

i think the best thing that can come out of it, is to put pressure on people who post complete garbage to start rethinking their posts are start contributing positively. but  i'm still gonna post a good "searchbar!" if it truly deserves it every once in a while

meh I guess that would work, but I don't think I would judge someone or ignore them based on a rating system, like a form of prejudice haha. I just judge people based on my individual experience with them... Plus theres tons of people right now with high ratings who are desuhbags, hell the example in the scenario was skiierman who you said was a post whore/didn't contribute, yet if I judged him based on his karma he would be "kick ass"...

yeah, it'd be nice to get a drop down menu or something. I keep clicking to about 57 and then thinking that it's too time consuming and not worth it anymore, but I'll feel bad if I stop because it'll lower their karma...etc etc..

^Which is why I'm saying don't judge it just yet, wait for everything to be adjusted, because it's all going to change drastically.

Phil, I don't know, you're the first person who's said it doesn't work for them. It even works for me by tapping on my trackpad incessantly.

Yeah but its been proven already that the system doesn't recognize the difference between garbage and quality.. if you contribute a ton you will get high karma, doesn't matter what the quality is like, the only contrary point to that is theoretically if you post garbage you will get negative peer karma, but I don't think it plays a big enough percent(from what i can tell) to really bring you down... in conclusion, judge people on an individual basis, not what some number tells you, the same reason we shouldn't have post counts

i wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence. and thats going to have to be the trump card for the karma system.

but i have faith that ns has created something that could possibly be great. and don't forget that even if you contribute a lot of garbage and get a high karma rating, i'm sure the mods or admins can see the crap you are posting and kick your karma rating straight down

that all seems legitimate.. but what it looks like is that all the donaters have ratings over 50 and 60 and stuff.  and everyone else seems to be just 50.... and there is no minus button on the rating only a plus putton and an n/a.  i still dono.. i guess.

No no, you click the little plus button to rate someone, and then it'll go to 50 with a + on the right side of the 50 and a - on the left side. Then you click the - to move them down karma.

A lot of people are around 50, and that's fine! The vast majority of the members of this site are average members. I look over at the member list and there are lots of people I don't even recognize and I'm on here a LOT. Being average isn't bad... it's average. If you want to be ranked like a better member, be a better member! Contribute!

We've set it up so that will pretty much be a complete waste of time. If you spam ANYTHING, like reviews for instance, a) it won't do much for your karma and b) someone will notice and your karma will get nuked.

haha nope, but I think even if you alter the factors it's still going to happen, by all means prove me wrong, but I just don't think a system can judge individual members since opinions on members are exactly that, opinions, you may think someone contributes crap but I may think that crap is the greatest thing ever posted... as I said before the system came out before, why do we need any system at all, treat everyone equally and judge on an individual basis

Wow, justhinking about the work it would take to make this whole Karma thing makes me want to rate Paul around 150. To bad I cant, and in my school at least, a 73  is a C minus. no actualy that just gets you above the C-minus stage.

.. i'm trying to find the down arrow for the guy who posed a video of cupgirls

just click the + and then you'll have the option to down karma him. i dragged him straight down to zero where he belongs

ok so i gave pussyfooter -275 points by accident because my connection sucks... i can no longer raise it because it is a 3 digit number and i have no more plus sign, but i can still bring it down. will my karma go down for that?

i think its a neat idea, i just dont know if a lot of people are going to bother going into someones profile and changing shit because we all know how lazy most NS kids are. but if the factors are more weighted to video and blog posts and shit like that then i suppose its not a bad deal at all

i heard rumors that it will replace post counts if it works well, and you can rate people right under their names when they post

heres how I think it should work. Basically everyone starts at 50.The rating will show up below their icon with a + on the left and a - on the right. If you feel the post/video/picture is good then you can click the +. If you think its bad you click the -. Then some fancy math is done to decide how many + clicks you need to go up a level in karma. That way it becomes more about how much the user contributes to the site and won't be about how a user is popular or well known.

Thanks for the explanation, I get it now. But I still think post counts should be kept...

There are a couple of mods in favour of that idea as well... personally I like being able to give people a rating out of 100 though. It's possible we could combine both systems to have both rating types factor in the overall score.

combining them would be good. That would give you a way to give someone karma for stuff they might have done outside NS. I think entering a number in a text box would be better than clicking + 50 times though.

I know a lot of people have mentioned this before but I'll say it again. I think this is a great idea. I'm sure that this will eliminate some of the hate and post-whoring NS has had recently. I don't know about the whole no post count thing anymore 'cause I consider that one of the classic features of NS, whether or not people are judged on it. In reality, people shouldn't be judged on their post count and everyone that has common sense realizes that.
