    Trying to calculate members popularity

    I take the number of a members posts, and divide it by the number of thanks given and I end up with a number. Now maybe I'm not doing it right, you tell me, I'm no math whiz!

    Here is what I came up with so far;

    Peter 1.728
    Exotix 6.81
    Private Pickle 5.02
    Hanger 2.00
    ripmeister 13.18 Very popular!
    Grok .814 hated!
    Me? I afraid to see mine!

    Should I keep doing this? Is it correct methodology?

    WHOA! I already see my flaw! I should divide thanks by the number of posts! I think.

    What does "level" mean?
    What does Karma mean?
    What does "mentioned" mean?
    Tagged?

    Somebody else take over this job. I'm confused!

    My karma is awful, but since I'm not Hindu, I take that as a good thing. What is karma anyway?

    I would think so, similar to a baseball batting average. But why ?? What's the point ??
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    One thing is to prove that karma doesn't mean anything.

    Not really - we have had glitches on the forum that required the old account to be deleted and a new one created - hence loss of all thanks. It's happened to a few of us. Anyway, probably not a good thing to do anyway.
