Karma system...

[wasabi]

Do we get prizes?

I was gone for a few day's and when I get back this is going on. Looks cool... judging by rainees post I guess I missed out on getting to see karma scores. Oh well... I was wondering how much a guy like me would have.

Also when I give karma and put a commentary, who reads it? Im asking because I've done so a few times and Im curious where that ends up.

Lugaru if you click on "User CP" on the top of your screen you will see who gave you karma and what they wrote.

Humm .... so ... how do I know who I've given karma to? How do I know who the last 10 people were? ARRGH!!!!!

Good question - I guess you could either write them down or start a new folder in your word program titled Karma

can someone give you negative karma? such as to subtract from your total points?

You can show your negative points by not giving any karma .

Here is how it works.

You earn karma power by:
- 1 point for each year of membership
- 1 point for each 250 posts
- 1 point for every 50 karma points you earn

The amount of karma you earn is based on the karma power the person giving you karma has. So if I have a karma power of 8 and give you good karma then your karma increases by 8 points.

Here are other rules
- you can only give 10 people karma per day
- you have to give 10 different people karma before you can give the same member karma again
- all members have 10 karma points by default
- If a member has less then 5 karma points their "karma hits" do not count towards any other members until they get their karma back above 5.

More details will be posted soon.

so... if I have 50 karma points... and I give a karma to someone then they get 50 karma points added? Or is karma power different than the amount of karma points. I'm blonde.. I'm confused... thanks, trish
