One thing I am wondering about is IF our members will use the karma function. For instance, the "rate this thread" option is not used very much at all.

Seeing as I'm a cockroach in the martial arts world this life, I'll take all the help I can get.
Maybe the karma rating will help me here. For some strange reason people seem to like what I write.
My only question is, what exactly is the point of that karma thing? Why should I want to get more karma points??
Not seeing the point of this I can't I like teh idea too much. But then we'll see how it goes...
Well i wonder about members like me the strong silent type who read lots but post little. Is the karma going to do them any good? if so how?
I'm kind, I love you all, I love all your arts!!!!

Ok a quick question about this karma thing.
When attributing Karma, how exactly does it work? Is it something like "I agree" == +1 and "I disagree" == -1 ?
If so may I say that I don't like that system? I can disagree with a post but still think that the other person brings some interesting points and should get a +1 karma.
Just curious about that...
I think this is a great idea, and a good way to boost activity on the board.
Can't we just give someone an electric shock if we don't like what they write? I think there's new software for that.

Sorta like a "Tazer-You-Tazer-Me"? I like it. You know, it would only be a peripheral device ... I could make one real fast from parts out of my Mouser catalog and whip out the driver in a weekend. hmm ... I see marketign potential ...Originally posted by Cady Goldfield

... sad part is ... with some planning and some moderate engineering, i really could do it.

That is part of how it works. There are other various things that add or subtract karma automatically. It is not just a matter of when someone rates you.Originally posted by Rogier
