Infinite karma with adopted caches

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 12:57:36 +0000

So I started geocaching in 2018, and after a few years I adopted 3 caches that were hidden before I started playing (and now are archived btw). Everything is fine, except for the caching karma graph on my profile stats - hides page. Since it counts that before 2018 I had 3 caches hidden and 0 found, it plots my karma (#hides/#finds) at the beginning as potentially infinite (think it's mathematically incorrect too). Consequently, the rest of the line gets flattened towards zero, no matter how high karma could be.

Anyone has any idea how to fix that?

TopKarma chart showing wrong karma value

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 00:17:22 +0000

I belive that I have stumbled upon an error in the TopKarma module.

In my profile stats, my caching karma is currently displayed as 0.92. This seems reasonable given 2477 finds on my caches divided by 2689 I have made on caches owned by others. So far so good.

However, when I check my position on the TopKarma module, I am listed as having a caching karma of 2.19.

They can hardly both be correct. It would seem that the one on the profile stats page is the correct one, and that the one in the TopKarma module is wrong. Somebody should probably look into this at some point.

Favo-% and Favo-Karma owners top lists

Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:32:05 +0000

Hi,

2 top lists that could be interesting :

1/ Favo-% top list could represent cache owners with good quality, ranked by :

(number of favorites you received / number of premium logs on your caches)

I think this value is already computed on profil stats, tab "Hides", line "total nb of favorites received" ?

2/ Favo-Karma top list could have also some interest, quite similar to the Karma top list but based on the favorite points rather than the logs :

(number of favorites you received / number of your finds) - maybe mutiplied by 10, as we gain 1 favorite for 10 logs

The both top lists may need a minimum of x favorites received.
