~ create redeem items for members to redeem when they reach have enough karma points.

- Admin/Moderator can also add/delete points to user who posts useful thread or nonsense.

- Admin can set auto ban feature to on or off. If this feature is set to on, users' karma points that
exceed the negative point admin set to, will be banned from posting or replying threads.

2. User

for that. If user disagree with what they post, their karma points will be deducted.

Some of the features are not installed yet, but that gives you an idea of what karma can be used for.

cool idea!

This is a very interesting development. I think that it comes at a good time, also. Creating and maintaining a site that "doesn't go there" and rewards for positive attitude and actions... As I have stated in another thread, the number of internet sites other than strictly business related is two; here and my home pb field. I hope Karma will inspire the good in us....

Its not 100% bug free yet, im hopnig we are all mature enough to not take advantage of teh bugs, i will be working on this as the time goes by so we will see what comes of it. If all goes as planned we may have an online store of sorts that people can use their karma and trade for prizes. But that wont come along til its bug free.

[matthepepe]

boht, right now you get 1 pt for starting a thread, and the rest is given by members when they feel you made a good enough post.

[SD-Speed]

yYeah i like that idea, i just hope i get some! haha

[IR3Ballah]

what kind of prizes are you thinking Matt?? Maybe a nice hopper or even a gun???!?! Well, theres one thing you should do: Make sure one person doesnt use the same computer and a different user name to give themselves Karma, because I know it can be done... You should check the IP address and not allow them to get on. But there would be a problem, if my brother wants to get on, he cant, so your going to have to work with that.... I hope i helped
