Karma Points:note: you must be using desktop version of site to use karma functions
Karma points: (+Karma/-Karma) are used on this board as a way to give recognition, appreciation, and thanks for good posts, replies, work well done , and all around good contributions to the board. Bad karma points (-Karma) can also be given for those who do you wrong, or as a way to warn others about a negative experience you had with a registered user.

Karma points (+ or -) can be given once every 24 hours AFTER you have contributed a MINIMUM of 10 posts . Once you reach 10 posts, you can give or take one karma point to a registered user, once in a 24 hour period. These 10 posts must be worthwhile, and not be spam/nonsense or your account and possible IP will be banned.

USERS WITH A NEGATIVE KARMA LEVEL ARE UNABLE TO USE THE KARMA USER-FEEDBACK FUNCTION.

To give or take a karma point, find any post by the user you wish to give karma to, and beneath their name on the right hand side of their post, you will see a [+karma] and [-karma] buttons (see screenshot below). The buttons should appear right above the [PM] button. Click on the appropriate button and then leave a comment as to why you are giving or taking a karma point. Also you can usually view a person's karma comments, unless the person has selected not to share their karma comments publicly. To view their karma comments, just click on the karma number above the karma buttons.

If you do not see these karma buttons yet, you probably have not met the 10 post minimum requirement.

Karma can be a good indicator of a person's reputation. A person with a lot of karma points can generally be trusted, where as you might think twice before dealing with people with negative karma.

Users may only provide one karma point per post or direct user. If you wish to issue more than one karma level to the same user please use the karma button on one of their other posts. Or make a new account, reach 10 posts and provide karma again.

Or as retribution to someone who gave you negative karma.
As I've already found out. >.<

[adm]

you can also allow other users to view your Karma comments via a setting in your User Control Panel under the board preferences tab and then click on karma settings on the left bar

[Crim]

Yes, for those who have nothing to hide, hit No to the question Show Comments Only For Me under your karma settings.

[lefthookguru]

Thanks for that, no wonder i've been unable to give any before.

[lefthookguru]

Seems i'm about 5 posts off, but i'll be backdating the 3 or so karma I owe you dilbert once I reach 10 posts.

[HLHS]

Thanks a lot, always been wondering how to give Karma.

[hugetitlover]

Thanks for the explanation. I've been wondering, too

[GermyGary]

This info should probably be in the FAQ as well.

[Persona non grata]

Whether it's in the FAQ or not - it makes no difference whatsoever. Peeps should FIRST educate the basics of civility and THEN go online messing about on the boards requesting stuff.

[ert]

This info should probably be in the FAQ as well.

...tell the admin...I did...and he made me create this thread. I guess he is too lazy to cut and paste it into his FAQS. Please feel free to suggest to admin again....

[Camslt]

I didn't understand why I can't give karma points... So thank you very much ^^

[zbtb]

Ditto - I spent quite a while searching around the FAQ page and there wasn't a word about any of this. Thank you.

[zbtb]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but does anyone know how to become a respected member? Searched the faq and I didn't see it explained. I mainly ask because I just noticed that I'm now a respected member and I'm curious how it happened. Is it just a matter of collecting enough karma points?

Me. A respected member of the TributePrintedPics community. Heh. TributePrintedPics is probably the only place in the world where I'd earn respect for the things I do around here.

[Persona non grata]

Same here. Think it's a sort of Admin privilege.

[siouxguy1]

thank you haha i had no idea until now

[heavymachinegun]

Thank you! Now I can go and give karmas!

[zbtb]

They exist... seen about three with -1.

[Persona non grata]

Ungrateful and ignorant sociopaths I say - a killer combination actually.

[blury_vision]

Thanks for the explination. It was really helpful.

[ziofrank]

Ungrateful and ignorant sociopaths I say - a killer combination actually.

yes, up to a point. but methinks there's one more vital ingredient. "ungrateful and ignorant - and HORNY."
a lethal mix in the wrong hands.

[whatwhat1990]

Whey, was wondering how this worked for a while, now ...dont feel quite as Dumb, lol

[MarketO]

I think somewhere in the rules it said there was a 12 hour waiting period before you could give another in instead of 24. But I saw that a while ago.

24 hours is the period after you have made a minimum of 10 posts,
12 is the time you can give another after you've given one

correct me if im wrong

[kitkat980]

Thanks so much for this! I was scouring the FAQS looking for this explanation. This should be stickied

[pablo]

thanks its a useful guide i wondered what karma was

I wanted to give you a good karma point for this explanation but the button does not appear on the right. Thanks anyway
