Karma Added

[Azan]

well since so many of you want it I have decided to open up karma.

But use it wisely, only give karma to a person when they make a very good post, or do something nice for you etc. etc. dont give karma to anyone just because you feel like it (and I can see who gave karma to who so dont abuse it) dont smite whomever, only smite people who make pure spam, posts that insult someone, or if you just plain hate the post a person made (and maybe even the person too ).

IE: of a post to exalt, well lets say that you are glad I added karma even though it still has problems, that you could exalt (but you dont have to)

IE: of a post to smite, in a topic about video games someone post a reply OMFG I PWNS YO!!! or something thats just a simple reply like "ok" or "cool" etc. etc.

smiting someone will lower your karma too, exalting someone will not raise your karma.

Also, when you smite or exalt someone it is private, except to me, but I will not give any of the information away.

Well feel free to use this topic to discuss karma or if you have questions ask them here.

can we exalt or smite people for past actions?

[Azan]

Well I would prefer that you didnt, but im not gonna stop you.

[glow=red,2,300]W00T!!! finally karma! oh do we have to say when we exalt or smite someone?[/glow]

[Azan]

Nope just click the exalt or smite button on the person and your done. (but I can see who gave who what in a security log, dont worry though I wont tell anyone whats on the list

[Decieved by the Truth]

[glow=red,2,300]it seems as if one can only exalt/smite someone once every certain time period...like once a day...is it once a day or once every hour or what?[/glow]

[Azan]

Sorry, im not sure on the exact numbers, at most 1 day.

[Lobstrosity]

Can I smite those with poor grammar and spelling?

[Azan]

Well I doupt it, you can but it will lower your karma as well, I would only smite if the post really ticks you off

[Lobstrosity]

What if you made it so that you could only use karma once, and it only comes back when you post? That way only people who post often would get to use karma and we would get more posts.

[Azan]

AND REMEMBER ONLY EXALT IF ITS AN EXCELLENT/HELPFUL CURRENT POST IF ITS NOT AND YOU ARE EXALTING/SMITING PEOPLE FOR THE HECK OF IT YOU CAN LOSE KARMA FOR EVERYONE.

i stated it had errors, and many are popping up, dont make this worse it has to be regulated to minimise errors (luckily I have time to regulate it, so please make it easier on me ).

THIS IS JUST A WARNING, in the future staff can question why a member exalted/smited a member if they are unable to give a good reason there will be consequences.


... oh and Lobstrosity you got the 1st error, the security log doesnt say who exalted you lol

quite frankly I agree with you (and others do too), it is pointless. But so many members wanted it sooo badly that I had to (and its overrated too).

But perhaps FC will remove karma, as I can already see its going to cause major problems.

Woops sorry Lobstrosity , posted after you so I didnt see your post.

In answer to your post, thats a great idea, sadly I am not good at coding in java/pearl so I am unable to do so, but PBs might be changing the way karma works soon.

[Azan]

OKay, I have found a code that will allow some users to not be smited or exalted, their karma wont show up at all, anyone want this code (for those of you that hate karma)?
