Karma points!

I see there is no way to see how many Karma points others have so I am starting this thread for all to post their current Karma score!

I like things like this, they are like little trophys.

Anyone that leaves me Karma will get a nice dose of Karma in return!

My current is 105
What is yours?

I have found that some people do not care for my being so "forthright", (I use that term loosely), at times!
Mine is not that bad though.
I have 78 at last glance.
Good thing I do not worry about it. DOH!
None the less. It has not deterred me. The approval comments are all about how I saved someone time, money or both!
BTW, thanks for the good karma, buddy!

I have a feeling most people are not inclined to share their karma scores for various reasons.

While Silvertwinkie has an accomplishment with his multiple thousands of posts, perhaps a better stat for the opening page would be "Member with most Karma".

If life were like that.......

I have a dry wit, sharp tongue and have many opinions - but in the end I do have an airstream - offer up lots of suggestions and help were I can share our experiences, we have made friends and began the neat world of travelling with our Airstream.

I stick with this forum not for the Karma - as the only Karma I have is 1 - for every 10 posts yeaah haaa whopptedo. Does not make me any less witty, sharp tongued or opinionated.

But If I meet you on the side of the road - you will have the shirt off my back and will never be left stranded.

So all the power to those who need the praise and the thankyous and the Karma's I see any forum as a source of information - somewhat like a library - if you meet up with someone who has done right by you then you develop a friendship beyond the actual forum.

I can not remember the last time a Library card gave me Karma.

And lastly - anyone who ventures onto a forum and offers their opinion, their experience, or just says hello - deserves 1000's of karmas all day long.

You go Rich T you have the medal for the highest number so far - but then that is par for the course you are by far the man with the most Airstreams too

Do the math on mine

karma

Everyone who has posted to this thread so far has received karma from me. I didn't know what it was and how to give it. Congratulations, you are now richer.

If there were no Karma here it would not matter the least to me either, and it is so unimportant as to be laughable, but if it is available then I want as much of it as I can get so long as no one is hurt in the proccess of getting it. I work seven days a week and enjoy finding Airstreams in my spare time during the off times, when i am not working at my store or on my home I am working my land or doing family stuff or ...
I have 2 motorcycles that I have put a total of less then 200 miles on in over a year and still havent found time to complete my Motorhome ( it rains alot here lately) but I do work on it at night. I spend a few of the extra minutes I have alone each day here at the Forums and answer someones questions when I can. I sell stuff on Ebay sometimes and have been able to keep my feedback at 100% by taking care of people when I can. And while I stopped giving the shirt of my back long ago I help more then my fair share of strangers.
Karma is just one of the little stupid things in life that if you dont give it to much thought you can find pleasure in recieving. I dont always care if it is deserved or not, I do plenty of good things that nobody even knows of and I try to do at least one random act of kindness everyday, sometimes I put neat little goodies in the bags of the nicer shoppers for them to find when they get home or I will give a great discount to a little kid that does not have enough money to get what they want. Etc... and on and on.
So while Karma is insignificant it makes me happy.

And when I started this thread I though I would rate low on the points recieved not high!

we mods had no idea that you could not see your Karma until recently. We thought everyone saw the points. Andy will set it up for you to see each others if that is a favored opinion amongst members. How bout a poll? I will set it up...

Poll might be an idea however, like RichardT it is not something I strive to aquire. Just want to pass on what little knowlage I have in a hope it helps not hinders someone.....

How do you check your number of karma points? Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.

My dumb question for the week...

ok..ok.. can someone please tell me where I am supposed to find these Karma point tallies?

I really feel like I am missing out on all of the fun. I've given, and I think I've received, but have no idea how I would know beyond a quick note at the time Karma is given (which is optional).

I hope I'm not too embarrassed when I find out.

I think I found it. Go to User CP and if you have Karma that has a comment, there will be a blue section (like the time/date bar that separates posts) that reads "Latest Reputation Received" has a "## points" total in that line.



Karma going out for the hint (MarkJoanDoll)!

Oh no!!! I can't give Janet Karma. PM Karma doesn't exist. The normal Karma doesn't either. I get a message that I need to spread Karma around. I'll try to capture the message.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Janet again.

General info about Karma...

Here is how it works.

You earn karma power by:
- 1 point for each year of membership
- 1 point for each 250 posts
- 1 point for every 50 karma points you earn

The amount of karma you earn is based on the karma power the person giving you karma has. So if I have a karma power of 8 and give you good karma then your karma increases by 8 points.

Here are other rules
- you can only give 10 people karma per day
- you have to give 10 different people karma before you can give the same member karma again
- all members have 10 karma points by default
- If a member has less then 5 karma points their "karma hits" do not count towards any other members until they get their karma back above 5.
- a member must post at least once before their "karma hits" count toward other. So if a member has never posted, they can still leave karma but it wont have any effect on the user.
