Karma/reputation is useless, they're just points that don't really show anything much about the user.

I only know Bash pit and Flame zone so far. Never knew the retro soldat forums. What's karma in the forums?

you could choose to approve or smite people and their approval rating would change and it was displayed under their name

jprg had like -1000 while cool people had higher numbers the only reason it got removed was because butthurts with massive negative karmas wanted it gone so they didn't get reminded about how hated they were when they logged on

tbh, I'd love for it to be re-enabled so I could see how things would turn out 2.5 years later.

make it by post, like if I find a post that Echo makes I'll +1 it, then if I see another post by him I'll +1 that as well. where you're only able to mark 1 karma per post per member.

That would probably solve the noobs getting insta-karmaed.

I don't really like it any way you do it, but if you do it should have some radical changes.

I actually like that suggestion.

I dont think this would be good, really!

Most guys around would try to make more and more good things to get some of these points to
know others care about them or judge others from how many points he got, even if they dont speak
it out it is a thing of the head and would destroy a part of our community which I really enjoy,
I dont need such things, so I vote F11

What if I gave you +1 karma everytime you posted?

Maybe all those bribe bullshits are the reason why they removed the karma?

I think I would wonder why you do that, because it is not normal to get admiration or positive restitution for each
bullshit you are doing/posting, it is just unnecessary and you have spoken out what adores most ´bout karma:
´getting attention for each shit, for admiration you have to work and not to have some friends hammering on the
karma-button just to give you the feeling you are who´

In my opinion this discussion is unnecessary since Blue-ninja got to the point that this forum and Soldat especially
isn´t the kindergarten

I've always suggested that if karma is ever to be reinstated, it should be modified that once you give karma to member so-and-so, you must give karma to X number of other people before giving karma to that member again. And, you can only give out karma Y amount of times per day.

Even with these restrictions, there is still plenty of potential for abuse. Any sort of heirarchy or ranking system on message boards can be abused due to the anonymity involved. We have to make the best out of what we have.

The aforementioned limitations are easily modified settings in the vBulletin reputation system, but seeing as we're not running that software, I am ignorant as to the extent of work (or even plausibility) required to modify any add-on or feature of SMF forums.
