Karma points for users of forum
September 29, 2008, 06:56:49 am
I just desire t know if it possible to know from which users karma points are changing, or if it is possible to obligate to give a reason for plus or less of points, just to educate the other person, personally I'm receiving some up and down, but not always i deduct why I receive them, and this look like a punishment or premium without reason, so not so much educative to do better in future..

a couple of thoughts and a few suggestions:

1. You might want to explore and research alternatives BEFORE you post

2. You might want to get into more details with a post and give as much information as possible

3. You might want to avoid posting too often on the same topic

4. You should also attempt to stay on topic

we try to stay on top of the forums and provide good fast support

Agreed about Lobo's suggestions, just throwing in some technical info on how karma works in the forum:
- information about who's giving which karma points is not logged anywhere. The only information that's stored in the database is the balance of karma points. Yours is 7 applauds and 9 smites.
- I don't know any extensions that would allow giving reasons for pluses/minuses - personally, I think the point behind karma is to be able to use it quickly, based on first impression, so don't anticipate introducing any changes to karma mechanism on our forum.

Thx,
m
