I have observed most users in this forum having greater number of karmas, positive karmas while others also have negative karmas.
I come to understand that the positive karma is obtained from posts/comments that are being found interesting, educative and resourceful and users merit this karma in accordance to the post made.
On the other hand is the negative karma which is also obtained by most users too either because of low quality post, spam or some other reasons.
Now I will like to know,
Who gives this karmas (both positive and negative)?
Is it all members in this forum that is entitled to giving karma?
And can a user give karma to himself?
Your thoughts are highly appreciated.

Yes, any member with Sr. Member rank above can give both negative and positive karma and they have the right to do it. Once they abused it, -karma will be given.
And no, you can't give karma to yourself. There's no button shown on your own posts and to your profile in dms.
-
Only sr member and above rank can provide Karma to others and you can't give Karma to yourself. President and Admin can give more than one Karma at a time while all the other users can give one Karma to a profile and they have to wait for another 10 hours to give the next one.

Any user from the forum can give karma either negative or positive from senior member rank. The admin can give a lot of karma instantly but other members can’t do so. Positive karma are giving when make an informative post that will benefits the users in the forum. While, negative karma are given when user abuses karma or disobey the rules and regulations of the forum.
Normal users can give negative karma too not only the admin can do that once you see any users not abiding by the rules then negative karma can be given.
Members can’t give karma to them selfs if they can give karma to themselves then the karma will be abused very quickly. A lot of users will give themselves a lot of karma even if the post or comment ain’t worth karma they will give themselves, so it good as the rules stand that no users can give themselves karma either positive or negative.

Op, I was not exited to see you asking this question because when I looked at your profile, you are not a baby steps or newbie but a Sr. Rank Member in the forum then what marveled me the most is, you are not a teleported member but someone who opened account in the forum and grow the account to Sr. Member and you are asking such question. You didn't try for this question and even at that this the same question when we came here for the first time early this year, many users asked and it has been discussed many times. And if you were reading comments, either in For Beginners or Forum Related boards, you would seen many of these threads and see the answer.
That is why we should use the forum search engine (bar) or search any information about the forum from Google Search Engine. Always represent your rank.

@Gposas, although it is normal to forget things, maybe it is time to review the forum rules again to make things clearer. Other users have already answered your question, anyway in this link you have more information:
Karma - thank/punish (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=657.0).

Exactly!
OP's question seems very unrealistic. A Sr member shouldn't be asking this kind of question, at least not related to this forum. He should be aware of at least the basics, karma, activity, badges and stuff..! Of course, if he was a teleported member, his question would be justifiable/reasonable. I am a Sr and I lack a lot of information regarding this forum since I teleported here. But he didn't!
OP, remember you are not a baby or jr anymore! As Mate2237 said, "Always represent your rank".

+1 karma. The funny part is, the Op is not a teleported member and if he was a teleported member, that would have been a different case because as someone who is coming from another platform to this forum will like to know somethings and that happens to most of us when we first came to this forum. But in this case the Op grew up from this forum to a Sr. Member Rank yet he is asking who gives karma. It is really surprising me.
I am suspecting that the account has changed hand and not the original owner is handling the account again.

If you're a senior member rank and above, you can be able to give karma to any one, the karma may be positive or negative one depending on the condition that warrant for it being a positive or or negative one, when we make posts, we receive karma on it base on the readers interest on the content of what we have written, but when we post what is not meaningful and phishy, we may receive a negative karma on that, any member can choose to give a karma if he so wishes.

Only senior members can give positive and negative karma. In order to give karma you have to rank up to senior member. No a user cannot give karma to himself that's not allowed in the system. If I like your post and your idea I will certainly give you karma but my mentality is not to give negative karma to anyone until someone is posting bad posts and even after warnings they don't care.
Anyone can give you negative karma and you won't even know and if you think someone is giving you negative karma on purpose you can open a case with admin and if he finds it interesting he will look into it and solve your problem. Karma spamming can easily be detected by the admin so don't do that either.
-
It is only logical that a member cannot give karma to themselves, it is other users that would read your post, and if it is educative, interesting or simply of a good quality, they will give you +karma. It is recommended that users in this forum don't think too much about +karma, just make quality posts and do not spam, and others will give you +karma.

There are a number of similar questions about karma in this forum, and I'm pretty sure you've seen one of it before, so try to search if the topic has been posted before to avoid posting the same thing twice.
Karma can only be given by users who are senior members and above, and they are not allowed to give more than one to a single user at once. Only moderators, are able give lots of karma at once to users.
can a user give karma to himself?
How do you think this is going to happen? Doesn't it seem like a cheat to you? Those who have greater karma have earned it by valid contributions, and you're already a senior member, don't misuse karma to avoid punishment.

I would dare to say that this is not about something being forgotten, but about the fact that such knowledge was never adopted. Unfortunately, there are users of the forum (and not only this one) who never read anything related to the forum itself because they are simply not interested in it - which eventually leads them to ask questions like this or get into trouble because they don't know the rules of the forum.
However, it is never too late to learn something new, even if it is with a great delay.

I think we actually said the same thing, except I was trying to be subtle with my words, although you're actually absolutely right. It's sad to see how some users have no idea about the rules of the forum, or that they only ask things like that to increase the total number of posts. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate when this is the case, but I suppose that a user with a certain rank should already know the rules perfectly.

Most of us almost forget to appreciate the efforts and post of the member and they might be doing the same in life. I always try my best to give karma to everyone who deserves it but I might miss some spots. As human mistakes can happen. Creating useful posts is a good advice to OP and if he followed it not to fish karma he will get karma.
Anyone should not fish for Karma only while making posts because this will change the purpose and the qualit of the post too. As you said just make quality posts and forget about karma people will give karma once they saw you more than once. OP is making many posts and he had created many topics even.
-
Actually most people follow interesting and educational posts while giving karma because everyone supports good work. But most of the people receive positive karma here and very few people give negative karma. Because those who are here are very old members and many have teleported from btt due to which everyone knows the rules of the forum. As per the rules of this forum only members above sr member are allowed to give karma to anyone. I have commented on many such posts several times but most of the members are asking similar questions.
-
Anyone can give karma to each other, once you have taken note of the way and pattern the person involved in using to give a quality contribution to the forum, then you can make it a duty to give karma in appreciation to what he has done, same way others can give you also the same karma when you're making a quality post, but we shouldn't forget that using karma is not by force and should not be abused.

Any user can give out karma either positive or negative. When you see a users post and you’re able to see on the left hand side beneath their usernames, the positive and negative karma button, then it is very obvious that such user can give either positive or negative karma. I only joined the forum as an Hero Member, so I can’t tell if newbies may have such features of giving positive and negative karma on their profiles. About users giving karma to themselves, it is never possible because you can’t see any option like that on your profile. It is even going to be absurd if something like that happens, so I don’t see any reason why it will be so.

Anyone can give karma unless they should rank senior at least CMIIW. Speaking of on what basis a member gives karma to another is totally based on the quality of the post and yeah, some might be obsessed with giving someone positive or negative karma, but that can be abusive in many ways.
A person cannot give karma himself, and all members, once eligible, can give karma and either negative or positive. However, the negative karma is mostly given to spammers and those who are not liked by someone. By like, I mean if they don't like their idea of the post and find it spamming and targetting etc.

Good that you clarified that, i am sure some people use negative karma to attack people who they do not like personally, which is very wrong. If someone does not agree with you or share your idea, it is not a reason to give them a negative karma, i know that so many of us know this already, but there are still those who do not.

Precisely because of what you said, Karma logs are not public. There are users who do not understand the difference when using Karma between a difference of ideas, which is normal and positive, and "punishing" a user who does not act correctly in the forum. If everyone understood and applied these differences there would be no problem making the logs public, but unfortunately that is not the case.

It's okay if someone gives negative karma to anyone else even in a abusive way because at some time the abuse will be reported once noticed by the recipients, and they can easily open a case with admin and once admin will look into the case he can take their ability to give positive or negative karma. That will feels like they had not grown after sr rank.
TBH I rarely see such cases when a person is receiving negative karma on regular basis or after same intervals and did not get what he deserved back, actually there are many ways to get positive karma in bulk too. But they don't matter that much so.
-

Yeah, very well said, but it is almost impossible for everyone to apply these differences, so it is safe to say that karma logs may never be public. If it was public, some people who even got genuine negative karma, i.e. for spamming, may even end up sending retaliatory negative karma for that reason only.
-
If you can know how to get a quality post and identify one if you see it, then you're up to the senior rank upwards, then you can give a karma, but we should not be biased or selfish about it, we have to give it as the same way we may want others to give on us, don't give a wrong karma on someones else post because of your personal dispute with such user, it is not good because that same law of karma may hunt you back later.
-

It is good to always remind people about this, because i know there are people who do it, they give negative karma to people they disagree with, not because the person is a spammer or a shitposter, but because they do not agree with the person. If people don't abuse karma, then the system will work as expected.
-
I'm actually surprised that a Sr. Member is asking who gives karma and who can give it to whom. And also asking that can he give himself karma. I wouldn't be surprised if the question came from a teleported Sr. Member.
However, you may not know. Karma can only be given by senior members and one can never give karma to oneself.
-
Well, I think this thread has had enough coverage to set the record straight on who can give Karma. Something that a user like the OP with his current rank should have known for quite some time.
Seeing that the same answers are repeated with different words, this thread will remain locked from now on.
