Also there was a bug with the blogs karma, we reduced it (now max.10p) and guess what my blog karma is suddenly 3 times more :( oh my.

Perhaps the blogs metrics need to be revised :D

In general any karma item where the top karma receivers have more than 300 or 400 karma from that category sounds quite unbalanced. Well, maybe except products (coming from popular apps published by the user to Maemo Downloads).

This is why we did a little bit of tweaking to bug reporting and thumbs karma, in order to ensure they don't overwhelm the other karma categories.

Blog karma probably deserves the same.

I wish more people would understand that things like karma are always open to process improvement. No reason to get all balled up when a certain metric looks out of whack... just participate in the corrective process. ;)

And now bloggers are about to be nerfed.

I agree in part with that, but bug reports are IMHO the second most important contribution from the community (#1 apps in extras), and now if I get it right, a bug report worth the same than a wiki edit(6*sqrt(# edits)) and less than a TMO thanks(8 * sqrt(#thanks)), IMHO a bit wrong.

With bug reports it would be best if we could include bug validity into calculations. Otherwise you get karma for posting duplicates and completely beside the point bug reports :rolleyes:

Anyway, happy to tune the karma algorithms as needed. The current ones are already a lot more balanced than what we had, but especially blog karma could use improvement.

That would be awesome, not knowing the system, don't know if this would be doable.

Currently we get a CSV dump of bugzilla accounts and their bug creation and comment numbers. The script that generates the dump could possibly be tuned to ignore invalid bug items

Just as long as it pops that overinflated Gadsby back down to size. :D
