What is it and when will it come into use?

IP needs to finish coding how it handles negative values, just for you.

Karma - http://www.staredit.net/?faq=10

You know that every time we edit/delete/do something against a member they'll give us negative karma?

Us moderators should be immune. Mwhauwahwuawahwa

Karma is based on posts, not specifically the member. So if they go around giving negative karma to posts for any reason other than the post sucks... i'll be upset.
Karma is basically that, + or - reputation given out for posts. Negative karma effects you back, though not as much as the person you affected.
It's not in because I have no idea how I'm going to prevent abuse yet. And I'd rather just no code it than have to deal with the aftermaths of stupid fucks who can't use things the way they are meant to be used, usually stemming from immaturity and taking things way too seriously.

Only allow regulars to give/take karma? (like.. 300+ posts or whatever it is)

Far more people like us than members dislike us.

What uses will karma have?

Use: lulz
Might have more uses, karma is karma, and as such, it effects everything you do.

More importantly, if a user has low karma, ignore them.

normal/positive karma = unlimited posts/shouts per day
negative = limited.. the more negative.. the more limited.

That would be interesting.

I agree with both of Merrel's ideas

Why do we need karma anyway? We need simplicity.

We need a highly advanced idea, such as this (wait.. this isn't advanced...)
And then we simplify it into something simpler, such as what MrrLL described.

Well, now that there's just posts, not cumulative posts, I think that only those with maybe 500+ posts (I'll check if that includes me after posting ) can give karma. Also, depending on your karma, you can give more karma to others. If you're lower then say -10, you can't give karma at all.

Agreed. Improve the quality of members.

You tellin' me I don't deserve to give out karma, boy? *smack*

You meant to say: "negative = register another account".

Let's see.... membergroups, warn levels, etc... How many plans do you want me to come up with?

He wants you to come up with Everything
My god Syphon cant u take a joke, and anyways, i just found it on the rules, so therefore, you were right to edit this, but 50 minerals is so much of a ^HIGH price. i couldve accepted 25 max. But owell, moderators are moderators and protect SEN, so i'll have to go with this thing, and i will not let it happen again

Isn't that a bannable offense? I mean, you can always check their IP addresses. Though you shouldn't ban based on that, since me and my brother share an IP address.

This system seems rather easy for people to abuse.
For example let's say FlyingHat gets mad at me (an impossible act of course as I own his soul.. but hypothetically).
My karma gets pwnt. As does his.

Good thing it doesn't mean anything.
