She comes and goes. She comes and go-o--es. Lovin' would be easy if my colors were like her dreams-- red gold and green, red gold and gree--e-een. Does that answer your ? (Oh, *feces*, that's Karma Chameleon. I don't know much about Karma all by itself.) |

The best description for the karma feature I've seen is probably at this forum: http://www.wilderssecurit...om/showthread.php?t=11829Karma is a built-in function within the Wilders Security Forums that allows a person to award and be awarded points for good forum postings.
The karma points (or cookies as some people call them) are listed on the left side of every member post, under their Member ID, Title and Stars. The format looks like this:
Karma: ###
Any member can receive karma at any point while they are a member here once they've made their first post. However, to grant karma to others, you must have a Posts: count of at least 50 in these forums. Once you have made those 50 posts, you will see a new button in the same section of each members posts (right below their Karma: count line) that looks like this:
[applaud]
If you press that button on a person's post, their Karma count will increase by one. Some people call this giving a person a karma cookie.
There is a limit on granting karma. You may only award a person a single applaud within a one hour period.
Finally, the spirit of karma here at Wilders is to show appreciation for a post that a person has made. If you feel that a certain post is above average or especially helpful, then hit that applaud link under the member's id for that post and award them a cookie.
But on that forum, I think you can only applaud and not smite. From a site administration point of view, I think the smite function could useful if someone comes here and trolls or starts annoying everyone. Most people don't bother reporting posts, but it's not hard to throw some bad karma at someone, so if there's someone with a lot of negative karma, they'll know that a warning may be on the way or a possible boot. This feature could be easily abused, though, so it may go away if it doesn't prove useful. |

Thanks for the explanation. Being a new guy, I wasn't aware of that, however I expect for all you regulars it was karman knowledge. |

What's up with Karma? Karma is your perfect 7 iron shot hit the overhead powerline, rehit and pull it to left OOB - after you tease your poor uncle you hit your 7 iron farther than he hit his perfect drive  |
