    hi chris, 4 pts was awarded to you by another user. you have 10 base karma pts so that makes 14 pts! no comment was left, so there is nothing to show. ;)

    How do you read or see how many Karma point the other user has?

    Will there be any thing bad happen to the member has too many (-) Karma? Will I get run over by Cooler's icecream truck or eaten by the Giant Panda? I don't want to go to hell?

    1. I used the "User CP", and it only listed the points, and threads. If there's no comments, how to tell whether it's positive or negative? I assume if a green dot means positive? What's the symbol for negative?

    2. 25 clicks or 25 submissions? I mean, I can click 25 users, but changed my mind for not giving karma and closed the window. Is that going to waste my daily allowance? Or, no submission means no usage? :rolleyes:

    Panda's don't eat hearts; especially not silent ones. Panda's eat szechuan spicy beef noodles with two eggs over easy! :D

    I am a bit slow to adopt to new stuff, so excuse me. :D

    I don't know how the 4 pts come from? 1 pt per "other user", and total of 4 of them? Or, 4 pt per a particular user (and based on his post / seniority)?

    I am 2nd on this. Now, I can only see a sorted list of others, to determine who's "more trustworthy" than others. It will be great to see the points of others, rather than the "rank". :rolleyes:

    you don't know exactly how many points other users have. but you can tell from the green icon under their username what level they are at.

    no. the whole thing is just an indicator, an indicator that both you and others can see. if you make rude posts and get karma'ed down, and you are ok with that, then it is fine.

    what it boils down to is that BC is a community, and it is up to you to decide how other person perceives you as a member. the karma is just an indicator to show you how you have done.

    another interesting thing is that potentially there could be actual rewards handed out to members who gather enough Karma points. perhaps things like a special font for their title, or a larger PM box. rewarding the member for being a good citizen of the community, and encourage other members to be so as well.

    we will have to see how good the system come out to be to make a decision.

    So we have just green for good (+). What color is for 0 or (-)?
    Sorry for the bad joke earlier.

    I for one hope that nobody turn into rabbits just because they have 'disciplinary cards' now - if a point is worth making, do so as long as it is within the confines of decorum.

    Disagreeing (within reason) is good.

    yeah, i agree. so far i have not used any negative karma coz to disagree is what discussion is all about. as long as we do in a gentlemanly (though really i am a woman, and women dont need to be categorized as gentle as we are naturally sweet natured creature, yeah right! self sarcasm there :D) manner (meaning no cursing, no personal attack on a person individuality...etc). so far two has received my positive karma because their posts made me smile. and i believe smiling is good karma. and laughter is the best medicine. hehehehe :D.

    I don't think I'm so keen on this.
    Unless it resets every day or something.
    I don't forsee myself handing out even 10 karma a day, maybe only 10 a week.

    Can you give the same person a + and a - without having to give to 19 others?

    That is why I suggest may be 15 max perday. Agree with Neil, we should be able to give Karma to the same person like ever other day without reaching the 20 different karma before the same person.

    Oh my...

    ..well, well, what has kwun done this time again??:p...i've been away for about a week, and bam, kwun has a new karma system installed in BC...:eek::confused::p..
    And i see there are a couple new icons next to the users' post(s) as well..hmmmm..BC is getting more 'sophisticated'..hehe;):D:cool:
    ..yes, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it should be pretty straightforward after a couple of tries. However, it could be a bit cumbersome when one wants to use the feature in a pretty lengthy thread(more than 10 pages)..:p
    ..this thread reminds me a bit of a previous thread/post(which is pretty humorous and entertaining) made by quisitor, or we like to call him Q, a few months ago, here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39023 :p;)
