Friday workout for the mind: Ideal karma for Habrahabr

The article is written
So I thought:
What the hell. Habr gathered a bunch of IT specialists who together can not come up with something better? In addition, a bird on the tail brought something outlined. And now, so that the administration has something to listen to, I propose to discuss fruitfully about the system with perfect karma.
And my opinion will serve as a seed.
Baseline data that I have allocated for myself:
- deniskin :
In the long run (we have long-term goals) for Habr, the hardcore article about Brainfuck is more useful. It will be addressed by a more relevant audience for the project. Such a publication will have a rather long tail of references, especially if it carries value, the author will receive long-lasting feedback. Posts “RKN again banned Google and Amazon”, though they collect traffic, but it’s hardcore posts that create value.
So, the system should focus on the authors of articles. In the ideal case, also support the authors of hardcore articles, because of which other people will come here more than once. - Estimates should generally be anonymous. Otherwise, we will observe the situation: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." At the same time, IMHO, you need to get away from cases when, being dissatisfied with the success of someone else’s commentary, it was possible to retaliate into karma directly, since its minus is not noticeable against the general positive background (conditionally, when the comment received + 20 / -1 and synchronously -1 arrived in karma) .
Karma is a tool for assessing the community as a whole, and not for disassembly between individuals. - We need to somehow solve the problem of writers on narrow topics:
If you have articles, for example, only about haskel and drug addiction on the pros, then a narrow party of about fifty people will put you their pluses in karma once, that's all.
- Do not give the user, who constantly receives conditionally 20, 30, ..., 60 minuses to comments, continue to stamp them.
- To resolve the situation when the author wrote an article several years ago, then received well-deserved rewards and did not appear on the portal or did not show himself in discussions. Sometimes these authors return and suddenly begin to behave like minor characters in films about the zombie apocalypse. Perhaps their accounts were taken away, or in a few years their worldview changed, they could join a sect, believe in Santa Claus, begin to eat prana (after all, there is no need for such changes for a long time). Or maybe all this time these accounts were used for other purposes.
The fact is that such inactive users are now fully valuable forever and can be subsequently hacked, taken away and used as bots, doubles or for new publications (I think many still remember this incident ). - The system should motivate to write more.
Now I will present my solution (all numbers are indicated approximately, and more precisely, they should be chosen empirically):
- The first and absolutely natural suggestion: to divide karma for post and karma for messages .
One gives the opportunity to write articles further and vote, the second - just to write comments and entertain self-esteem. Such a separation will enable a person to write articles when he was not very successful as a commentator.butВ своих статьях автор все же должен иметь возможность как-то комментировать в любом случае. Иначе будет немного нелепо. - Karma for messages can be calculated for every full 10 comment rating points starting from 20 (bypassing simple systems of markups consisting of several accounts). If you have 5 posts with a rating of +5, they will not be counted.
An example on the fingers: a comment received + 45 / -8, a total of 37 votes, got into karma +2.
If in one topic a person received many drawbacks for comments (that is, karma dropped sharply by ten points) - for a couple of days of complete rest or with the ability to respond once a day, the alternative is simply to limit the possibility of commenting on this topic. - Separately, you can highlight comments with a rating of 100/150/200, etc. - for them to add (or subtract) writing karma.
In this case, for the first, for example, "-100" ban for a week. Let the man let off steam anywhere else. If there are no articles, then after the next repetition - to ban forever. - They got to a difficult question: now 1 person = 1 vote of the change in the karma of the author of the article.
The problem is that if you count on karma from rating articles, the leaders will always be writing news and translators from GoogleTranslate (high-quality translators will not be able to physically issue many good articles all the time). If you leave it as it is, the authors of articles on narrow topics, which leave the largest informational trail, lose out.
From my point of view, a possible solution would be to pay out of one’s karma for changing someone’s writing directly (and this can only be done in the article). Wanted to reduce someone's karma - pay one. Add - also pay. Just cancel the voice - for free. Twice a plus or a minus - sorry, but no. And just for this method of assessment, you can think about the appearance of all your position with a comment.
The second step is to add an anonymous public contribution to karma, based on the formula: "article rating, multiplied by a factor."Which, by the way, can be made different for different cases.Обычная статья имеет коэффициент х1.
За новостную заметку — х0.2.
За перевод с английского/немецкого — х0.2, с латыни (а вдруг?) — х0.5.
За перевод на английский — х1.5 (на первое время). За качественный перевод на английский — х2.
За хардкор — х3 (есть трудности определения таких статей, возможно это смогут делать ответственные люди из ведущих пользователей.)
А если астрологи объявили неделю хайпа по поводу ракет, электромобилей, криптовалют или роскомчегототам — то х0.2 (по решению модераторов, что очередная статья на эту тему вот прям сейчас — это уже немного перебор.)
It turns out that the community will be grateful for the good articles (I hope that it will mostly be so) not individually, but jointly. And pouring from empty to empty will only be beneficial for commentators. - In the case of complete inactivity of the account for a long time (from a year), introduce a gradual degradation of the public part of the writer's karma (with a half-life per year). If he talked, but did not write new articles, in the third year she, too, will begin to melt, and by the fourth year half will remain. This applies to both positive and moderately negative.
Personal assessments will remain unchanged.On the other hand, the invariance of personal ratings is more like a jokeМитрофаныча в деревне не любили: в 1919 году он разбил бутылку водки. - It would be good to make a permanent degradation of commentary karma, unless, for many negative comments, it has not reached the thresholds of serious restrictions on the portal. After all, they can only be washed away with
blood bygood comments. - Last: it is necessary to calculate the amount of charges, so that they would be enough for a more active life in the community, but at the same time increase the cost for each, say, the next five minuses from one person to another per day. I wanted to personally add up 10 person's comments - you wrote off 5 + 10 daily charges.
Perhaps then karma will really be the result of community opinion, removing unnecessary emotions. And most importantly, he will separate the habr-writer from the habr-commentator, thanks to which there will be fewer authors with a dozen good publications and zero or negative karma, even if they really cannot comment, let them write new articles and get new advantages.
Thank you all, I am waiting for your comments and, especially, your options.
After all, your karma is in your hands!
