Are they giving karma to active users ?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I just wanted to ask, is it only the senior members in this forum that can give karma, or the forum it self give karma, because definitely everybody im this forum started from somewhere k belive, so how did the first people that started got their karma?
And also do they give karma to users in this forum that post vital stuffs and are always active?

It is the members who issue karma to their fellow ones for a quality post they found with them, the forum is not the one that gives this, they only moderate the calculations on it, also, it is expected that before you can have the desirability of identifying between which post deserves a karma or not, it is expected of you to have experience on the forum in receiving and giving others same, so you can understand the value and usefulness of this same karma, a newbie account to full member cannot do this because they are still fresh about the system and the forum.

It is possible that the whole thing is similar to the introduction of merits on BTT, because then everyone received a certain amount of merits, and some became a source of merits. Even if karma was something that existed from the beginning of this forum, it could only be available to admins who, if I'm not mistaken, are the only ones who can give more than 1 karma at a time (maybe some special ranks can do that too).

No, the karma system doesn't work like BTT merits. In this forum no one is a source of karma which is distributed, here every user with a rank of Sr. Member or higher has the possibility to send positive or negative karma even if his karma counter is at 0 and he has never received any. Users, including all moderator ranks, can only send 1 positive or negative karma to the same user every 10 hours. Only the administrator and the president can send more than 1 positive or negative karma without any restrictions.

Last time when I saw admin's statements this year, he said that this option is still valid. But it is not what promised forever and I'm not sure it will be valid each ALTT or ALTS payment, better to ask when next payment time will be announced. As to me, I'm not going to change my karma into tokens ever, because I think that karma is more valuable.

Okay, but I thought it was points that can be exchanged for tokens. Anyways thanks for enlightening me about this. But you people should show some love too to encourage other users in this forum by giving them karma

It is a great reminder I almost forgot that only Sr and Sr+ have the ability to send karma to others, Actually I was a senior member on BTT and teleported from there, so I don't have to face the problems that people who grow from zero to Sr on this forum (who are no teleported by ranked only here), as they can't forget this but those who have teleported here on this forum, I guess those who knew it (like me) need a reminder and those who don't know this at all.

Must be given this information because, karma is necessary for newbies and lower ranks so that they can grow also and become Sr too, As those who don't know that only Sr and Sr+ can give karma, they might be sharing karma only with higher ranks, and newbies might be there least priority to give karma to. That's why we all should know this info.

As for at the moment, lower ranks have no karma requirements to rank up. There probably will be requirements not to have negative karma (I'm not sure that at the moment), but even with 0 karma they can rank up to Senior.

There will be certain requirements to rank up, the administrator will implement it in the next change of the ranking system, I don't think it will take long, but there are no details yet on what the affected user ranges will be, as I don't think it will include all of them.

More informaition: Karma 0 = your rank will go up.

With the little knowledge I have gathered here, you get karma when you make quality post and making quality post is a function of the reader. What reader A sees as a quality post might not appeal quality to another reader and that is why not every ranking member gives karma to a post. I think from Sr Member you can give karma but then you don't have to abuse it.

On the issue of being active, when you are active and make good posts you can get more karma than a member who is inactive even if he makes good posts occasionally.

That's true mate , good posts gets you Karna as reward and it's when you are active and always contributing here in the forum that will someone see your doings and give you the karma, I have personally given alot of karma's to users that have been making good posts here and I don't see as it anything and besides it's make the writing know that their efforts are being watch and it's not left unnoticed

You are senior now so I think you are enjoying sending Good or bad karma but just a piece of advise , try not to abuse the system because Admin is having an eye to this.

and also I think this post have served its purpose as all your questions and concerns are already  written in the forum rules  so I guess locking this thread will be helpful to prevent spamming.

Ugh, I'm so forgetful! I can't believe I forgot, even though I have said this to many members but still while writing that post It didn't come to my mind, actually, I am spending time on two forums, which have different rules so that's why I got confused maybe. Next time I will keep it in mind. Although I am wrong about my statement directly but indirectly it helps them.

This means, if we will give karma to newbies then they will be motivated, and thus more contributions will be seen on the forum as well. Although there are great measures to tag some shitposter with various tags. But still, thanks for reminding this one, as I was totally off.

More informaition: Karma 0 = your rank will go up.

Thanks to you too for reminding me, as I said to jokers that I already knew about this fact but only forgot while writing that post. So, are you suggesting admin is working to bring some ranking system in which Karma will be counted as well?

That's right, Admin really pays attention to all karma transactions that are taking place, this is different from BTT, the Karma that is given cannot be seen by who sent it, only the admin can see it. So you have to be careful when you want to give bad karma, it's better to keep giving good karma to everyone rather than giving bad karma.

[EluguHcman]

You have already stated the valid points on how karma is obtained. Although not really by how active you may be in the forum but based on the level of your constructive and and quality posts. The advantage of staying active lies with possibilities that you would learn more concerning what the forum is on for
So literally it is like the more you studies to learn is the more knowledge you acquires. So the more knowledge you acquires is a dividend of your activeness which would have you the tendencies to create helpful and quality posts hopefully of yielding karma's.

[Agbe]

If I am not making any mistake, karma was created by the admin and when the admin see good post when moving around the forum and see any quality posts, he gave them the karma and in return the Sr. Members in the forum can also give karma and that is how the first people who where in the forum got their karmas. Though I was not at that time but when came here the admin explain how one can get karma and the advantages and the uses of karma. And the simple answer is karma can be given from Sr members accounts to a quality posts.

yups , and for my months here ? there is just a little one or 2 bad karma that  I have given but that is for someone whom I believe deserve to have this karma , and indeed that never to abuse this karma system because Admin is looking into all this very closely .
and another thing is that  we are all must be responsible for this usage because one thing or another it will help the community to grow in better tomorrow .

I'm not sure who first got their karma and which ranks had this opportunity in the beginning, because the rules at the moment are not the same even with those which were when I signed up. But I see no reason for admin to give first karma to anyone, because every Senior can give karma to others. There were totally no karma requirements on ranking up for any rank years ago, so everyone could get a Senior and give karma to others. Which karma requirement is at the moment, no one knows exactly except admin.

I don't know why are you trying to make such a complicated theory, karma is very simple!

Thanks to you too for reminding me, as I said to jokers that I already knew about this fact but only forgot while writing that post. So, are you suggesting admin is working to bring some ranking system in which Karma will be counted as well?

Yes. As you can read in the link to my previous post in this thread, the admin is working to implement a system that requires a minimum amount of karma (I still don't know more details) from certain ranks in order to reach the highest ones. It won't be like BTT's merit system (I know I always say that, but some users still ask the same thing) but it will help avoid spam and L.Q.P posts, since otherwise they won't be able to reach new ranks. There is no release date yet, but I don't think it will be long since the admin said "soon".
