Could someone tell me about this karma thingy lol, apparently my karma is at 53% what does this mean?  do i need to eat more pickled onions to improve it?                                                                                                                                                                              

hahahaha here we go agian ! sorry scooter every body asks this question if you look back im sure you find an explanation !                                                                                                                                                                              

I still haven't figured it out 

but good Karma comes back to those who give it out so I reckon all you have to do is be nice to people  and forget about numbers                                                                                                                                                                             

It's based on your input into the site I believe Scooter, what you post, the value of it's content..What you put in you get out...hence Karma. There's more to it than that, but I've never fully grasped it myself!!                                                                                                                                                                             

Thankyou for feedback folks                                                                                                                                                                              

Yes i got 4 percent taken off mine friday:(   Yes eat more pickled onions haha.   LC thought you were going to let us into the secret hehe.                                                                                                                                                                             

The idea is to get as low a score as possible by being really nasty to all the other members. Depending on where they are in the hierarchy you get more points taken off. That's about it :-))                                                                                                                                                                             

Scooter   Matt's explanation   Karma is your reputation within the BikerMatch community.  Karma is a way for other members to view your activity, status & popularity expressed as a percentage. Your Karma percentage rating is based on your Karma compared with that of the member with the highest Karma on the website. For example, if you have a Karma rating of 80 compared with 160 for someone else, then you have a 50% Karma rating. How do I earn Karma? Karma is a mathematical calculation that is only known by our site developers.  We will not give out the secret behind Karma, so please don't ask! We can however tell you that the following activity will change your Karma.. Posting in the forums Chatting in the chatroom Sending/Receiving Private Messages Sending/Receiving Nods Views of your profile Uploading photos to your profile Tagging yourself on event photos Attending events Subscribing as a full member Visiting the site daily Good/Bad votes from other members (in development) You will gain points for some activity and loose points for others.  For example, you will loose points for every day you are offline but will gain points every time someone views your profile.  Each activity has a different "weighting" and so not every activity will necessarily change your Karma by the same amount. Popular Members Pages The "popular members" pages will instantly calculate everyone's Karma, then display those with the highest Karma who have been active in the past 14 days.  The lists do not show inactive members even if they have a high Karma.  The lists also don't include those who have no profile photo uploaded or have hidden profiles. Also to be found here http://www.bikermatch.co.uk/sites/b...asp or by clicking on the karma bar below your name
