Post Count, Karma and Warnings.

Post count

On this forum, we have a post count for each member and the entire forum. Every time you post, it increases. (Now that is a surprise!)

But, your post count can also be docked or increased by an admin or g-mod! So if you’re a naughty forumer, beware! When staff meddle with your post count, they will leave a little note in your user notes. You can see it, as can staff, except mods.

The note would look something like this:

I docked 20 posts for participating in a spamfest thread. Joe Bloggs - Issued: Feb 26, 2007, 4:01pm

Also, if you click on the *Members* icon at the top of your screen, then click *View Top Posters* you will be able to see who has the most posts!

Karma

[/size]

Karma (noun) - EASTERN RELIGION the Hindu and Buddhist philosophy according to which the quality of people’s current and future lives is determined by their behaviour in this and in previous lives

Well, on this forum we have buttons, whether to smite or exalt someone. If someone annoys you or is mean to you, then you smite them. But if someone is nice to you, then you can exalt them. But you can only do this once every hour.

Staff can also tamper with your karma, so be warned... If you suddenly get - 13 karma, then a member of staff has most probably done it! Or you are very disliked… one of the two.

If you wish to opt out of the karma system (you will not be able to smite, exalt or see any karma and no-one will be able to smite/ exalt you) then feel free to PM an admin.
