Woops!

Posted by Kerry on June 27th, 2008

While some might say it is impossible, we managed to do it all the same. We broke karma. For everyone, everywhere. On Wednesday, with our introduction of Mixx Communities, we broke the super-secret algorithm for how karma is assigned. As a result, some of our users have accumulated insane amounts of karma in just a few days; others were not assigned the karma they were due. That seemed sort of against the idea of karma in the first place, so we’re going to work this afternoon to get everyone’s karma back in balance so all can be right in the Mixx world again.

Thanks to everyone for making our Communities launch such a success

    Well, at least you didn’t break Murphy’s Law or the Theory of Relativity.

    good job, I have had an idea like this in the works for several years. You have done a great job with the groups, and profit sharing, good call.

    Hey,

    The communities look great. You should allow members to sell their communities to other members. Also the tagging system needs to allow for phrases. IE wind-power, as it is you can only do windpower.

    Agreed that the tagging system has to allow for longer tailed keyphrases. Definitely very important. Got same issue with del.icio.us too.
