The definitive hierarchy of hilarity
Scoring on Kwipster is based on the ratings you receive on the kwips you post. Each rating corresponds to a point value, and the weighted average of all points you receive for a particular kwip becomes its score, as long as that kwip has received at least 3 ratings.
The following example shows how a kwip's score is calculated:
Rating Points #of Ratings Weighted Points
1 star -1 24 -24
2 star 0 39 0
3 star 1 86 86
4 star 2 34 68
5 star 3 13 39
Flagged -3 2 -6
Totals   198 169
Kwip Score = 0.85 points (or 2.85 stars)
(= Weighted Points / # of Ratings)
(= 169 / 198)
As you post more and more kwips on the site, you receive badges displaying your level of achievement. This level is based on two factors:
  1. the total number of kwips you've posted
  2. the average score you've received for all of those kwips
A list of all of all possible levels, their badges, and the minimum criteria for achieving them is shown below. All users start at Level 0 (Class Clown) and can either fall from that level or rise all the way to the top to Level 20 (Late Night Legend).
In order to receive a particular badge, you must meet both criteria for that level. For example, to reach Level 4 (Audience Warmer), you must have posted at least 40 kwips and have received an average of at least 0.4 points (2.4 stars) for those kwips. If you've posted the 40 kwips but have only scored an average of 0.1 points (2.1 stars) for them, you would only qualify for the Office Ham badge. This dual requirement is in place to assure that only the best of the best can rise all the way to the top.
