karma???

I'm wondering the same thing because only certain people have it...

 

Its a UBB Hack or Add-On. karma is when a moderator or an administrator awards you points for certain posts. Moderators and Administrators are not allowed to recieve karma.

 

Thank you, eminem.

 

eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

That is correct.

If a user is especially helpful, or posts something that's valuable or beneficial to someone etc., you can give them a positive karma point. In addition, if someone spams, or does something clearly against the rules, they can recieve a negative karma point. .

It's also been edited to appear under "Posts:" and within their user profile as well.

What fun. .

is there a neg karma point limit? like once they reach -50 they get banned from aliensoup?

 

There is something like that available.. everytime they go a point down they are warned. I've heard about that but Alien or Ukliam should know for sure.

 

what's that karma rating for?

 

I have it set up in a liberal way...

You won't recieve automatic e-mail either way.. If I choose to warn you personally, you'll get one. .

There is also no auto-ban turned on at this time.

As for the points, you can go +10 or -10, but I can always change the limits...

I'm shooting for -10!! That's good, right? Like in golf: 10 under par. I'm I missing something here . Oops forgot the lithium again today... .

It's pretty easy to lose karma points, isn't it? I had one one post, and I was all happy, then it was gone the next .

I believe I gave you a positive karma point on Wednesday or so myself.

No idea who gave ya a negative. .

Have you been naughty?

I didnt recieve a karma point when I explained what karma is? .

 

think you can only assign karma points in the rooms you mod for..

 

Same here. I tried to give eminem a positive point, but I wasn't authorized either. Alien's explanation is that you currently can give karma points only in a forum you moderate. However, it doesn't appear that I can even do that.

I did make the suggestion that we should maybe be allowed to award positive karma in any forum. After all, helpful posts should be rewarded, no matter where they're posted.

Alien, really. I may not have been hear long, but you can prolly tell that I'm not naughty..at least not here .

And thank you for the point, even if I did lose it.

I agree...I think we should be able to do it in any forum we moderate.

A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.

 

Hmmm... One Drone, One Prober (laugh and I shoot), and the rest Overlord/Overminds. Wow, I can feel the power (or something) just oozing from this thread. Don't get any on you... .

However, if any Overlord can give a point in any forum, then it is likely too many karma points could be awarded by multiple Overlords. I like the idea of having the lord(s) of the domain be in control of karma for their area. Better restraint and control. Makes it a wee bit more "special" don't cha know?

I'll go report this problem at the site where we get these codes.

 

I've tried eminem but it says I'm not authorized to do it. weird.
