My karma ate your activity and idea scores

Over the last year we’ve gotten a lot of questions about how users’ activity and idea scores are calculated, as well as confusion about the difference between the two. As many admins have noticed, we’ve combined these scores in the Admin Console and called them “Karma”. Today we’re also combining these on the Feedback Site.

Karma scores are calculated by a combination of the user’s activity and the status of ideas they support. For example, when a user creates, votes or comments on an idea, their karma is increased. They also receive additional karma points when ideas they support are planned, started or completed (and if the user is the one who created the idea, they’ll receive even more points).

The idea behind this is to provide a simple way to identify proactive users on a feedback site, as well as for users to see how well they rank among other users of the site. It also helps promote constructive feedback, as ideas that are used result in higher karma scores.

In the future, we also plan on expanding these scores within the Admin Console with a more robust user analytics system. Here are a few related ideas you may also be interested in:
