So I've been voting on a lot on all contests and my karma has been flying up into positive numbers(soon I'll probably be Max Karma Member :) ).One thing is a big mystery to me and thats the Vote History, I don't understand it all that well.So someone please explain it in maybe the easiest way possible(so all new members can understand it).Thx B]

What parts of it don't you understand? The vote history for the contest or the vote history for individual entries?

Things to note. If your karma is maxed out at 175 your karma won't make a positive change. It can change negatively if your voting was poor.

A deviation of less than 1 is pretty good. This means you didn't deviate more than 1% in either direction from the average votes of other members. (Someone jump in here if I'm off base.) You can still have a negative karma change with a deviation less than 1 if you didn't vote on all entries in the contest.

The blue line indicates that member was entered in the contest.

For the entry you voted on or you're own karma?

Any change would be to your own karma.

I like this chart except that the background seems a bit grayish-any ideas how to get it whiter?

That doesn't bother me too much. What I'd like to do is make the black text even darker, how would one accomplish that?

I sent Jax a good tutorial and asked him to rework the sites background colors. The change should be coming soon.

Image/adjustments/levels. Grab the top, black slider and move it right to about 200. ;)

If you look closely some users have deviation 0.5 and 0 karma increase.

Speaking as a moderator myself I can assure you our voting habits are scrutinized heavily before being bumped up to max karma. If there is an issue with a moderator, or anyone with high karma, voting this way, the best thing to do is contact an arena admin.

@Prisoner382
It has nothing to do with maxed out karma. If you have max karma (175) there would still be a number such as 3,4,5 next to karma in voting history, just it wouldn't actually be increased. I can find you a hundred examples of users with 0.5 dev with no karma increase.
Mainly overall ratings are correct, I don't complain. It's a good way to see did you create something good or bad.
Anyway, we are here to have some fun, not to cheat the system.
