I would like to know how the average is calculated. When I was a noob below 100 Karma, the average was regularly updated to reflect the actual average karma of all my comments. However, this stopped around the time I reached 100. Now, my avg remains fixed at 2.17, a value that I'm sure has nothing to do with my actual ($karma_total/$comments_count) ratio anymore. Does anyone know how this works?

- Udo 16y agoThanks! So it would appear that my hunch was right, only the first comments are used for avg, after that it never changes again: "So it takes your comments numbered 6-50, throws out the highest-scoring one, and averages them."
