New Forum Feature

[ijo]

I installed a new script called Karma... Took me a couple hours but I think everyone will like it...

What is Karma?: Karma is a system that you can use to rate other users and their posts. If you look closely at any post now, you will see two new things. First, everyone currently has a small green dot (or light) under their name(Click on these green dots to see how much karma a user has). Second, there is a button on the bottom right of each post called "Karma".

To give someone Karma, or take some away, just click the Karma icon next to their post. You will be given the option to approve or disapprove (give or take karma) and a field to put in your comments. Users also get Karma points for new threads, replies to threads, and total views.

I've been part of a Karma system before(RAG) and most users with a ton of Karma are the ones who seem to help out the most... This module should turn out to be a lot of fun.

How do you view what another person's Karma is?

[ijo]

You should see a little green dot under the username... as karma is increased more dots will appear. If you click the DOT(s).. it will tell you how many karma points a user has.

It says I have 2 Karma points. Is it possible to figure out how I got them?

Another question: The answer to this probably obvious, but can you give yourself Karma?

[tang_man_montreal]

What about a top 10 Karma list?

[ijo]

bristleworm: I'll post how you recieve karma points tonight... you can't give yourself points but can give it to others. real quick... 2 point per thread.. 1 point per reply... 2 point for a vote, -2 for a neg vote. more points for views and replies to a thread you started.

Tang_man: I'm working on the top 10 as we speak ;P
