Poll: HN readers, what's your karma?

3 points by humanarity 11y ago ↗ HN

Just to get an idea of the breakdown, and see if the long tail really occurs here too. I noticed some people (patio11 & pals) have upwards of 100k karma. Incredible. So I'm including a top line just to be safe. The choices only make sense if you chose the largest one less than your karma.

Is there it possible to see more? My other account was over 10k before it was slow banned for unknown reasons.

And then there's that.

Now I've learned another thing new today.

There are no people with karma > 250,000. The current highest user is https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tptacek with 208,XXX.

I beg to differ. According to the poll there are 4.

The poll was designed to be future proof. Who will be able to research the present in 1000 years if we don't make records today? Doomsday book for HN.

Trolling 1,000,000 because it's a ridiculous number.

You and 4 others :)

I'd be more interested to know how karma is distributed over account age. For instance, I have 268 karma on a 763-day-old account. Where does that fall (more/less/average) compared to other accounts of my age?
