Is a karma system makeover ever gonna happen? I know eheath was talking about it over a year ago. So does anyone have info on this or is it accepted that the karma system is a lost cause?

It is in the plans, would love to hear specifically what it is that you don't like about it!

Sick! Really looking forward to that. I personally just don’t see any consistency on how it is given out. Do views contribute? Just upvotes? Comments?

for example, how does the member who posted this video with 23k views and 340 upvotes have 7 karma points? Also do things like photo of the day contribute to karma? It would be great to have a write up by one of the admins about how karma is weighted once it gets its makeover

The current Karma calculation gives you points for almost everything you do on Newschoolers. Up and Down votes from other members are then put in as a multiplier. So if you have contributed a ton of media, gotten a huge amount of views - but you get a ton of downvotes in the forums... you could be in the negative.

Our basic proposition for the new system is to drastically simplify it. Potentially just to look at upvotes and call it a day.
 
Okay I see what you mean. In the current system does one upvote equal one karma point or Is there any type of rule like that

No, its way more complicated than that. That is why it doesn't make a ton of sense, you get points for all kinds of things and then the up/down voting system as a whole applies a modifier for it. That is why you don't see karma go up a few points at a time, it actually is only calculated once per day and the calculation is a really complicated algorithm.

I see, is there any specific reason why a member such as good company with many big videos has less than 200 karma points? I’m sure they’re not getting downvotes in any forums

Likely they have done only a few major videos, and the Karma system heavily rewards people that use newschoolers to its fullest - participating everywhere gets you the most points by far.

So if they were to post more in the forums, that score would go up really quickly.

Okay yea that makes sense, thanks a lot for explaining
 
bring back the karma thing where members could give it out to other members by using that upvote thing that u used to have on the profile page
