It is better than having -44. And another dose for you, while I am at it...

I look at karma points as times I have helped someone, whether it is to help them with their trailer problems, or just helped them laugh for a minute.

Old Karma

Would you believe that Karma is an old concept.
This very forum used to have a karma system in its early days.

Would you believe that many members here had in excess of 1000 - 2000 points of karma?

I am very confused with the new system of attaining karma, a lot of thinking if you are concerned with it. But I figure why spend time contemplating the issue, the forum will probably absolve Karma again sooner or later.

The reason karma was disolved before was because it was 'hacked' into our old software when we were running version 2.x of the forum software. When we upgraded to v3.x it was a native feature. The native feature uses a different way of calculating karma then the old system. The old system gave you points for starting threads that got lots of page views, karma for every post, etc. The new system is based on explicit recognition by other members for posting quality content. The amount of karma received is based on the karma givers reputation. Their reputation is based on total posts, karma earned and tenure. That way a longer tenured member that has earned a lot of karma and made many posts will give you more karma points then a newbie.

Trust me, I would have brought over the old points if there was any way to make them compatible. There is now a 'hack' out that allows for a system like our old one and I have thought about installing it. It would then be rivet points and they would be earned like before and karma points would also earcn you rivet points. Gets even more confusing, so until we upgrade to v4.x I think we should stay with our current karma system.

The karma system is intended to simply be a nice way to recognize each other for making quality posts. so if you see a post that is 'worthy' then please leave them some karma.

Hope we can keep the Karma system. Some Karma is far better than no Karma.

Kinda like a random act of kindness...it's more heartfelt for the recipient when it's a surprise ~

Ok, let me clear some things up. Each member's karma is currently seen only by that individual member and staff of the forum. We have been discussing in the moderators forum making this information public. Karma is not intended to be any kind of popularity contest but more of a 'pat on the back system'. It is meant to encourage each other for making quality contributions to our community.

I am looking into a way for members to be able to 'show' their karma points total if they elect to. This is just one option. We are also discussing making this manditory and also keeping it on a personal basis.

Please dont overlook the fact that this is meant to be a system to awknowledge each other for contributing to the knowledge base. It's not meant to be more or less... If we can ever attract any paying sponsors, we might be able to use it to give away some goods of theirs... It's just one little feature of many that try to give us some more interaction with each other. Please take it for what it is worth. Be light hearted and enjoy this community as on online place to have some fun and try not to get into the competitive details of contributing or collecting karma. If we all have fun, we will journey together further then we will alone.

as Wally said "To open a whole world of new experience … a new dimension in enjoyment, where travel, adventure and good fellowship are your constant companions."

Sad News

My karma was just run over by my Dogma.

I would rather be fixing my Airstream.

But I do have a lot of fun reading about other peoples adventures.

Wow I had no idea when I started this thread that it would become popular. Seriously, I dont use or need Karma to judge my good deeds, nor will my happiness or self esteem be affected by how many points I have.
I dont care if It is deserved or not and I do not look for thank you's or rewards for my good deeds, if I did they would be favors that needed repayment and not good deeds.

If you genuinely care about Karma and feel it is of any value to you you may have all of mine, I will give it to you.

Yep...it's possible with only 11 posts & 3 months of membership it doesn't appear that you have been around enough to accumulate much karma from other members. However, you do have the 10 that everybody starts with! At least you aren't a negative number like some ~

Check again ~
