Okay, I think wiping karma clean and starting over might be the best idea and seems to have a lot of support. I'll get on it.

can't you just disable the whole system

i post on a richmond supporters forum which also uses SMF and they don't have a karma system

I've already stated my reasons for wanting it, it just needs to be made a little more stringent is all.

there is a handy reputation system over on yellowandblack.info (i think?)

whereby you can give points to people who are good contributers, in that way you can show who are the more respectale members on this forum

*I don't like the 12 hr karma. Maybe 12hr karma separating karma'ing the same person, but not 1 per person per 12 hrs.

..it's already like this

I believe the karma system should be used to indicate whether or not a post was useful, therefore as a moderation tool. We should develop a policy, visible to everyone but enforced by moderators, to ensure that karma is used for that purpose (that is, the reason provided is specific to the post and not the person).

If the karma system was used for this person I don't see any reason why the karma change log shouldn't be made available to users. It would provide a way to gauge who provides good input/posts, rather than who is most respected.

Something like ebay where you can retract negative karma?
Or for that matter positive ones??

[Fyrefly]

I don't really like the idea of making reasons public. Shouldn't we be able to trust each other enough to use the karma system responsibly, given the already stringent conditions?

I like costargh's idea of retracting bad karma ebay-style.

People can't be trusted - take maxleng as an example.

too true, that guy was an absolute troll on BoS

Trial and error.
The Karma system's been trialled and you guys have found errors in it (the way it's been used).

Everyone seems to have settled down with it, so I think it's best to wipe it now and start over with genuine karma.

I'll get right on it, as soon as I remember where the cPanel/other server admin panel is on this server
You need to reset it in the database, there's no admin option for it.

[costargh]

I guess its been cleared.

Maybe individual posts could be rated?
