What does the Karma+&- stand for next to your user name? I'm just a newbie trying to get a grip on this...
Thanks
-
It's sorta like a thumbs-up, thumbs-down kinda thing. You won't be able to do it until you get to a certain number of posts I believe..
-
Karma is like your "spirit" on the forum. If you say something good or useful, u'll get more and more karma(+), so, good Karma is good Nirvana :)
-
How many post do you need to give karma? 50? 100?
-
Thanks got it :)
-
Yea I too am wondering how many posts it takes. I don't think 50 is enough so maybe 100?
-
yep pretty sure its 100
-
100 posts. then you will see a 'thank' and 'discourage' button under peoples avatars
-
Yes it is a 100 post. After that you will have the POWER!
Just use it wisely. There are a lot of people out there that I think just enjoy giving bad karma because they can. Once you give a person karma you will have to wait 72 hours before you can give them karma again. This prevents people from abusing it.
However I went from 0 to -6 karma in just a few hours for reasons unknown to me. Feel free to look up all of my previous post through my profile and see if it was deserved.
There was also a thread awhile back where everyone who posted in it received -30 karma! Not sure how that happened either.

@ newguy ^ I suspect a lot of Silkroaders are not very friendly to 03s :)
It's easy to get bad karma if you don't go around kissing ass.
Ahh now I see Aurelius. Well they can shove it up their ASS! Without 03/11 series there would be no SR so they could not even hate on me.
-
03? is that like a us military designation>?
-
And then you will be like Jedai hire, with Power, ::)
-
yeah i was wondering what this meant?
-
03/11 series in the Army and Marines are all Infantry or combat arms.

Thank you. Been curious about this for a while.

Can you give as much Karma (+ or -) as you receive or is it a free for all?

Seems to be free for all, but it also seems that you may only give karma once every 3 days
-
I like the idea of FE its good idea to build up trust and if you cant handle FE then your up to no good i like how u have to earn good + karma hope i earn a few

Ideally I think that is how it should work. The truth is that lots people give negative karma simply because they disagree with you, no matter how polite, insightful, or helpful you try to be. Or for whatever random reason, maybe they love having the power to be assholes. Don't pay attention to karma, say what you have to say and don't worry about anything else.
-
so does it do anything, or just basically shows that other people like you or that you are a tool
-
GOOD OLE KARMA :D

You can give karma once every 72 hours.
