Isn't it a "secret"?

 

Did you read it?

Beer Karma & Points
The origins of Beer Karma go back to around 2000. Back in the day we described it as follows:
Beer Karma is a mystical measurement of what a user puts into BeerAdvocate.com. The more a user contributes, the more Beer Karma the site assigns to the user. It's that simple, yet not.
It's seen many iterations, and come and gone, over the years. But simply put, it's a measurement of your contributions and overall support that's represented using a point-based system. The more you contribute, the more points you'll get. Points may also be taken away.

Note:

• The origins of Beer Karma, and its mystical calculations, remain unknown. Seeking it out is not the way of Beer Karma.
  
• Points and titles aren't instant. So if you log in and your points are at 0, or your title is blank, or both remain unchanged after contributing, please wait roughly an hour for the system to process and apply any updates.
• Beer Karma may change at any time, and without warning.
• Beer Karma isn't necessarily a measure of a user's beer knowledge.

I thought you earned karma by writing reviews and being active on the forum.

 

I guess I can't help you. Good luck.

 

The first rule of Beer Karma is you do not talk about Beer Karma.

 

All I know is I will soon have 200 Beer Karma.

 

You know you just cursed yourself, minus 100 for you!!!!

 

Sorry.

Means a hundred?

Sorry, sorry, sorry

 

Writing full length reviews is the surest & quickest way to earn karma. 5 second ratings earn nothing.

 

The 1st rule of Beer Karma is never talk about Beer Karma.... its a mythical creature that appears or disappears from time to time.

 

A few years ago, folks figured out how to game the system, so karma was taken away.

Use the site, enjoy the site, contribute to the site, and karma will come to you. Chase it, and you can never catch it.

 

What goes around comes around, oh darn it, I said too much. Bad Karma might be coming my way now. There is no Instant Karma, except for the song.
