SoccerMamak 'Karma' System Explained

Karma System

By default the vBulletin version 3.0.0 software comes with a feature called 'Reputation'. This feature can be used on sites to agree or disagree on posts made by other users. On our web site we will use it as a Karma system.

Users who do good, will end up with a positive karma. And users who don't do any good, will end up with a lower or even a negative karma. Having a karma is good, it could show to other members what the quality of your posts is, or how your behaviour on the web site is. You can build up your karma points through several means. Through posting, through helping others, or by being online a lot. Sharing your hard work, helping others or even for being registered for a x period of time.


(Users on the web site can now spread around karma)

Here is the list which hopefully explains a few things, and answers some questions:

• Can I hide my Karma points? : No
  (Sorry, everybody is equal on our site, hiding behind a rock isn't an option)
  
  
• Default Karma :10
  (Every member on our web site starts with 10 karma points)
  
  
• Number of Karma ratings to display :10
  (If you receive Karma points from other members, up to 10 will be listed in the home of your user control panel. It will also display your total amount of Karma points)
  
  
• Administrator's Karma Power : 150
  (This setting is the number of Karma points that an administrator gives or takes with each karma click)
  
  
• Do I get Karma for being on-line/registered? : 365
  (For every 30 number of days, you gain 1 point of Karma-altering power)
  
  
• Do I get Karma for posting? : 200
  (For every 200 number of posts, you gain 1 point of Karma-altering power)
  
  
• Do I get Karma for having Karma? : 300
  (For every 300 points of Karma, you gain 1 point of Karma-altering power)
  
  
• Does my Karma count? (posts) : 50
  (This setting is the number of posts that you must have before your Karma-hits count towards other's Karma points)
  
  
• Does my Karma count? (general) : 10
  (You must have more then 10 Karma points before your Karma hits count on others)
  
  
• Daily Karma clicks limit :10
  (This is the number of Karma clicks that you may give over any 24 hour period. Administrators are exempt from this limit)
  
  
• Karma user spread :20
  (This setting is the number of different users that a person must give Karma to before they can hit the same person again. Administrators are exempt from this limit)

I hope this is a little bit clear !
