Day 1 of CPL: Karma is Back, Yo

BAILOPAN · **Author**

Hello, Everyone!

While not accidentally stealing monitors at CPL/WSVG, Freecode is busy adding forum features. We've brought karma back using vBulletin's built-in reputation feature.

You can now click the special karma button (

) on any post. This will let you approve (+1 karma) or disapprove (-1 karma) the user's post. You can also specify an optional anonymous comment.

If you click on your UserCP, you can see a log of all karma actions people have done to you. You can see how they voted each post, and any comments they attached. You cannot, however, see who did it (and please don't ask for this to be done, it won't).

You get 5 of these karma moderation points a day. You must alter the karma of at least 5 different people before altering the same person's karma again. This is to prevent a lot of the abuse we saw before.

Anyone with over 200 karma got their karma knocked down to level the playing field again (me included!). Anyone with under 10 karma had their karma brought up to 10. Lastly, to honour older forum members, people with 2 years or more of seniority get +2/-2 of altering power instead of the normal +1/-1.

Enjoy!

Well I'm not so sure I'm glad karma is back but it doesn't show your count next to your post? (Freecode probably has the PHP var wrong)

It does. We're just tweaking things so you might see it one way and then another for a bit.

What i like about this system is its extremely hard to abuse it.
And again: I did not steal the monitor. It was one of those "Do what you gotta do" situations....so i borrowed it. :-P
