What is this Joe User Karma?
Published on May 19, 2008 By Mighty Maid In Just Hanging Out

I was reading things on the forums and notice under each user's name and picture a little thing called Karma. What is it and how do you earn them? As of now I have 0 karma and it is making me feel bad.

It's little points you get if people like you. Don't worry, you'll get some sometime if you stay active.

Even I have karma, so you should have no problem. People do like it if you're nice, though, so if you're nice, you'll get karma. Or outstandingly hard-headed. I get it from the hard-headed one.

Ok I have figured it out. If you are in forums, at the bottom of each comment or reply to a post there is the little thumbs up icon next to the [report] button. I figure you push the thumbs up and then you can pass out karma for that comment/reply. So obviously you can not give yourself karma. lol I guess I will have to be a very active commentor if I want some of that karma. So seeing that you have no karma either Bunnahabbhain. I will give you some.

Nah, no real need to be too active, just say some comments that people LOL at. For instance, I believe I got one for WWW Link that comment.

Also, people can give out an amount of Karma equal to their "Access Class." My access class is 2, so I can give out up to two Karma at a time.

Ahh, that is why I can only give one karma. Always learning here. I must be in "access class" 1. Is that listed on my profile page?

Yes, it's the last item under your picture.

Thanks! I found it. So can you give negative karma for a bad reply?

Nope. That would make it far too fun and easy to abuse, you see. And I would probably lose all of my hard-earned Karma for being a jerk to people I can't stand.

Now that I think about it... Yes that could cause all kinds of havoc.

But for the week or so before the entire community was banned and they reverted to a non-Karma system, I would have a ton of fun.
