Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:15 am Post subject: Karma System Added |
|
|
I've added a basic Karma system to the board.
On every post you will see the options to either "Applaud" or "Smite" a person, and you can do so once an hour. If you smite someone, their karma goes down a point. If you applaud someone, their karma goes up a point. Zero is neutral karma, negative numbers are bad karma, and positive numbers are good karma.
What does karma do? Right now - absolutely nothing. If a person's karma is excessively low though, it may influence decisions regarding status on this site. Think of it like the British House of Lords - people listen to things they say, but they no longer have binding authority.
So, have fun with it. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

So in other words, you would like us to "Respect your authorita!"? _________________ I'm not sure about people, anymore. They're responsible for some pretty nutty stuff. Individuals I'm crazy about though.

Eh - I'm the admin. I have access to every single thing that happens on this site.
If I want, I can change your username to "ChiaPetHead99." It really doesn't matter. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

Right now, I'm struggling to resist the temptation to make random Bruce Almighty quotes.
"Smite me, oh almighty smiter!"
Dangit! Guess I couldn't hold it back any longer. _________________ I'm not sure about people, anymore. They're responsible for some pretty nutty stuff. Individuals I'm crazy about though.

Karma only works if people try to do it for decent reasons. I also plan on adding features to the site which will only be accessable to people with higher karma (Everything you can do now will remain accessable - I'm just talking about new things) - so inciting my vengeance may not be the best idea. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

it's like finding the hidden "easter eggs" in dvd menus and such. you have to know where to look and when you find them you feel really smart.
ok, so maybe it's not completely like that but....so what?! |

iiar enough if it actually means something to you. I got in one last boredome smite (3 or 4 total, if you want to adjust your karma accordingly), now I'm done. _________________ "No President or country will ever be able to create 'world peace' as long as people keep fucking each other over."

I actually can't change my own Karma - no one can vote for themselves, not even me.
Oh, it's true, I could go into the backend and edit the database - but not without doing an assload of work.
So, David, I ask you again - please do not randomly smite me. _________________ Why aren't you reading UnCONventional (the awesome comic) yet? |

I didn't really smite you, Trae, so don't get all crazy on my ass.
You know, you could vote for yourself if you created a different account, but that would just be silly.

Okie-day. I just gave you one unsmite. You're due for a few more, then my damage is undone. _________________ "No President or country will ever be able to create 'world peace' as long as people keep fucking each other over."

How very 'Vampire the Masquerade' of you. It's like we're the Harpies, giving and taking away status or something. Does that make you the Mistress of Harpies if you get to smite as much as you want?
