they just like to call it karma ... it's really a reputation system, where members can give you reputation points and it adds up (or subtracts from it, if members give negative reputation points)... so essentially, people who have a lot of reputation points have "good karma" for having a favorable impression on members who gave the points, and "bad karma" for having low (or negative) reputation points, meaning he is not well liked in the forums.

Good in theory, but easily abusable by those unscrupulous enough to do it. It often becomes a popularity contest rather than an accurate gauge of how useful or well liked a particular member is...

could you make it so the news forums get the blue icon when there's new posts instead of a lock?

I've never seen "karma" work on any board the way it's intended to. Plus, it just seems really..High Schoolesque.

You end up with these retarded clique wars with groups of people rating down people's entire post history when they say something they don't like. We could really do without that, especially considering current trends..

OOH, I got one for ya laggy!!

Stupid one though, probably obvious.

I know that the 'comments' are now changed to 'user notes' for some reason, but how do I make one for my buds?? All I see when checking out the profile is "view". I can't "view" nothing..I want to "add"..

How?? Am I missing the obvious here? That happens a lot.

Re: things maybey possible to see now?

Ooh! Thanks!

Does this mean you'll post one for me now??

I getting comments...that's why I was so happy with vb2...I had like..6...

It's a shame they were deleted.

I want to know what all da peeps think of me. It doesn't eve n have to be a comment.

You could type "This dude is a ****head and I hope he eats **** and dies horribly".

The fact that you took the time to type that means a lot to me.
