KARMA , KARMA , KARMA ,KARMA

I've been seeing some karma scores going up too. When would you use it? Why would you use it?

All will be revealed in the fullness of time 

Why thanks for the reply Zoomba !! I like wait and see's !! Looks like it may be fun !!

PS just noticed the Report Button too .. thumbs up for that !! I know a lot of people have wanted it back ..

( ... so when is the Watch this Post going to be fixed ? ? hehe    )

I just discovered that you can click on the karma score and see where you got it from. Very cool.

Ahaaaaaa !!

Well spotted Xiandi !! I also like the Announcement Panel at the top .. Great Idea !!

And where can I spend my wuffie?  

It is a mystery, like, where did all my chocolate go?

Oh for heavens'sake !! Just look at Zubaz' Karma ...  

Funny how you can go off people really quick hehehehhe !!!

Pity there isn't a REPORT FAVOURITISM BUTTON hahahhaa !!  

( and why is my text in the reply window really tiny ? )

Karma is a way to tell who on the forums is a helpful, fun or nice individual. The old Trolling/Insightful ratings were confusing to new users (yes, yes, i know) and the data was all munged and didnt really reflect your activity on a given site. The Karma system allows you to give others Karma if they are fun, helpful or whatnot. You can't take Karma away from people, so there's no more negativity. Only warm fuzzies. However, users who don't deserve Karma won't get it, so it'll be pretty obvious who is helpful and who isnt.

Those who have accelled to a high user level are also able to give people more Karma. So there is some benifit to having your user access level raised as well.

Does the Karma get updated /returned to zero every day , or is it an ongoing score ?

I do wonder if reporting an user removes Karma.  Seems like there is potential for abuse either way.

Will have to wait and learn.

/me tries to find how much karma KarmaGirl has 

If ongoing, is there a max limit one person can get?

Ongoing, no limit. And there is no way to remove Karma by a normal user.

tut ! .. at least I'm popular !! (:(   

Is there a limit to howmuch karma one can give out in a day/week/year?

This seems like it's a fun idea.



Her nick used to be just Girl, but she got so much Karma...

You can only give someone Karma once every ten minutes...

The same person or anyone in ten minutes?

What karma score? I don't see any.

Karma huh? I guess no Karma is better than bad Karma

hmmm ... so does that make Winky the Karma Chameleon?
