Ok, as of now, my Karma is at 80. Is something broken?

People must really like you. That is, unless it is broken.

Im not sure if its broken, but someone REALLY likes me

Why?

WHAT? PLease dont give me karma unless I did somethin that deserves karma!!!! If you do that, the karma system has no meaning!

Exactly, AC.

Could the admins reset it?

woah woah, i dont want that.
But still, DANG MAN. What's happened?
At least its a good thing…

Im happy with my karma levels.

Animecello sits as king on the proverbial hill of karma.

I like you, cel-chan. :)

But 108 thumbs up is ALOT of karma. You must be doing something right.

Zombie MDs fault

I noticed… I can add karma to a single person per post. I think thats kinda bugged.

Karma spamming is going to be a problem.

I mean, yeah anything could happen. animecello's karma shot up by 90 in one day. One day.
Griff has 1500 posts. Zombie could bump it up to 1500. If a squad came it could be >9000.
The karma system needs to be renovated or removed.

make it for researchers only/.

Good, point RG, but there is a way for karma to work. I was hoping for modeling after vBulletin.

i like my idea

yes researchers

i agree

Zombie is a researcher.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUu

200 posts or higher.

ditto.

I say 100 forum posts or more can use karma system. AND karma distribution is weighed by more posts.

200 posts is a good idea. The only problem with that is spammers will reach 200 in not time.

how about 200 forum posts and KYM member for 3 months

Hmmmm, that might be a bit excessive…

I don't know.

Any maybe admins could grant and revoke the privilege?

mine r 6 karma :C

I haven't seen animecello's go up much lately. Maybe the antics are over for now.
But, yeah, we can do better.

The primary goals of the (current) karma system:

- negative karma => hide bad/off-topic/bullying posts
- numerous upvotes on one post => some kind of "top 5 posts of the month" award

Someone having "tons of karma" due to a lot of +1's or +2's doesn't actually do anything

If this "apparent karma" is distracting, it might be removed, the same way an overall contribution # was.

If a post is hidden due to low karma, can the admins make a option so that for enyone who wants to see the comment, they can click a 'show comment' button (like spam on youtube)?

IDEA: Karma Credits? Each post you post gives you a credit, which you can then use to bump someone's Karma?

Or maybe we're a mature enough community to not spam.

Yeah, I'm actually somewhat curious about what has been hidden.

im not sure if this blog-style karma system will work in a forum environment…

Also, were probably too nice to give negative karma.

@animecello
I just realized what you said in that post.
But if someone spams 200 posts, they will get banned in little time.
