I never understood how the karma system worked on GameFAQ, care to explain?

fourms arent chat room?? i didnt know....

Karma, you get one per day if you've posted recently. Karma increases your post per day limit and also earns special privileges. Breaking the rules will lead to loss of karma. Privilege based on seniority without stupidity.

I sort of like this "karma" thing...
Would there be a karma meter?

yes i like that better then karma also...

reputation sounds really like reputation lol...

but then again sometime they say noob control but i think we need member increase as well..

you see it says we have like 400000000 members but we only have like 50 active ones or so

The difference between karma and reputation is a fine line. People with power (admin/globals) give out karma (and is affected by automatic means, maybe), people without give out reputation. They both have their share in things they effect.

GameFAQ's system seems to be okay in theory...
But I don't want to limit people's ability to post in such a way...
Especially for new people who want to post in map assistance forums for help... or feedback for help... etc...
It would be retarded for a site like this.

Wow, I went to that link...
That equation was scary, at least it is when it's on the computer...
It was sort of cool. My predicted number... 643

I agree

so everyone starts out with full karma

but then again the mod can remove karma very often.. if they just the most stupidest thing

lol haha

"if they do the stupidest thing ever"

but yea they should start out with full karma

and whenever they flame or i donno... spam

just take karma point off so they can learn a lession at the same time..

EDIT
wow im starting to worry myself

! That's a good example for your "idea" thread, Moose.

People REALLY need to proofread their posts.

Else or post like looking this look.

Post limiting is no fun.

ohh ok w/e jezz

I dislike the idea of anything with a member rating based on the votes of other members. Partly because of what I believe my member rating will be

But also because if you are trying to get a good accurate member rating then you should only let "regulars" be allowed to vote, or at least people who have been here a month or something.

I guess if it as done that way then I would like it more.

However, I'd really like to see some kind of reputation/karm/rating system implemented because I think it would really help and add something to the community.

Hmm, I'd even like to be able to rate other members, even if that conflicts with my first sentence above

think there should only be admin rating or mod rating only..

or only starting from regular members.. did someone already say that..

A 6 for member rating.. -_-
More like a 10

Reputation and karma are more... fun.
Reputation and karma, for the most part, are given on a per post basis. You see a post that really made you think or thought was hiliarous, you give them a rep point. Karma comes into play because reputation wouldn't be as strict as admin 'rep points'. Reputation could be increased by attempts to use alters or reputation circles where you get some friends together to constantly share rep points whenever possible (that would be lame). Karma is meant to balance that out. Perhaps karma could also be given out in a gamefaq's fashion...

The thing about reputation and karma is that it would/should increase when you post more intelligent posts. Those numbers aren't limited. In DT_BK's system, you vote for a member once and that's it. With reputation, you judge a person (by their posts!) at an endless ongoing rate.

Reputation and karma will then play into little ways to affect your sen life. For example, minerals gained by posting would be somewhat random based on character count still, but, otherwise slightly random. Karma and reputation will increase your chances of getting higher numbers in that scale. Let's say, for this post, I'm due 8 minerals. In senv5, it's a bit more, so let's say 12 minerals for this post. The random factor though might be 6 to 12 minerals. Reputation and karma then get their chance to play with the odds, and high numbers in both might increase it to 8 to 13 possible minerals.

Reputation and karma will increase your odds of gaining a mineral by making a shout as well. Yes, 1 mineral



As for changing member groups, karma and reputation would be almost necessary. Spamming the hell out of boards won't make much difference because people have to look at your post and give them points for it. Karma and reputation won't necessarily be 100% needed to advance, but it would help you greatly. It would be possible in my system to get to a regular by posting 5,000 posts in the null forum.


The more people that use this system fairly, the better it will be. Of course, this means that any alters made to simply attempt to give out rep points would be deleted and the offender would probably loose his account completely, at the very least, all his karma/rep. In such a system, I won't fark around with people being queer.


As far as actually giving out rep... it'll be SOMETHING like:
5 possible points to give out in a 4 day span...
Can't give it to the same person in 4 day span...
Can only give it out to posts made in the last 3 days...
You neeed 50 posts in order to give out points...



As far as DT BK's system, I see no need to have some equation to base respect off of.

Overall, karma + rep should appeal to a little fun on sen... nothing as serious as a respect number.

Sounds great!



Ohhh, isn't Warhammer going to be happy when he sees that!

Oh the ego and elitistism. Hasn't this always been a problem, and weren't all we the newbies with etiquette malfunctions?

Wait... now I'm confused...
I understand what reputation is, but what is karma?
I thought I knew, but I seem confused.

I wonder what my rating would be using DTBK's equation

So why don't you use something similar to Blizzforum's old reptutation system, but with more effects? The more rep you have, the more you gave out. You could only rep the person again after you've repped 10 other people I think. You can only rep once you have a certain amount of posts. You can either negative or positive rep, and the button was available to every post.
