It is a good idea. Besides, since when do you of all people care about another's feelings.

It is a better indicator of how a person stands within the community than the join date, or post count.
Who knows, it may cause posters to become more helpful, knowing that they can flaunt their karma as a new e-peen.

She's just bitching because I gave her negative karma in another thread.
I like the idea of it, but I don't think I'm popular enough to be rated positively or negatively, and I'm not going to lie: my self-esteem gets affected by shit like that. You have no idea how happy I am when people respond to my posts, or laugh at my jokes. It's almost enough for me to generate some stupid-ass persona like others on the forum have, just for the validation. But I don't want to be a jackass. I just want to be noticed.
Wow, this turned into a manbaww. About the internet, too. Is there any worse? Perhaps it's pathetic, but it's my $.02
Also, I suspect what'll happen anyways is that there will be a lot more negatively rated people than positively. Even putting grudges and shticks aside, people are much less likely to recognize a good post than a bad one.
So while I like the idea, I doubt very much in it's execution.

Well, for example, I just agreed with Charlie of all people in a thread.
Then, I gave him good karma. End of story.
Like I said, I think that people will be more friendly/helpful if they know that everyone else is looking at their karma.
Some of these jackasses will tone it down when they notice that they have -9001 karma.
I, for one, will give you karma if laugh at one of your jokes. You have my sword.

actually, I dont give a fuck if anyone gives me bad rep. God knows I probably earned it. but I just think it's a shitty way to snipe at people. If a dozen fucktards harsh on a newbie who posts for example, it could discourage them, thereby driving membership down.
and the only negative rep Ive given out is to Shego, as a test. I figure she won't hate me for it.

I've only given out neg rep to you, 'cause I know you don't care.
So far, I've given pos rep to RK,Ed,Charlie and I think Susan.

Can't say I've honestly ever looked at the rep ratings on any board I've ever been a part of....didn't even notice it was active here until seeing this thread....
Take that as a ....I dunno....a big 'ole "I don't give a fuck"?

Like I said, the CAD forums' karma meter makes way more sense.

I think that is a good thing, so that you don't get into a karma war with people.

Maybe set it so that you can see the comments people leave with it,and for what posts, but not their names.
But then how will you know what you're being rewarded/punished for?
My rep could skyrocket cause of a contribution on a subforum somewhere on the same day I get in a huge flamefest with someone or something, and then I'd be all "..do people really like it that much when I'm flaming?!"
or something

Ok.. I have gotten a few more votes on the rep thing and I think I figured something out.
If someone with zero Rep Power reps you, it doesn't count, it's a grey dot in your rep's notification area in the UserCP, but doesn't give you points. It's just when the rep they give you is a golden square that you get the +10 to rep.
Isn't all this explained in the mod page, turbo? I feel like we're playing archaeologists here.

Yeah there really needs to be an FAQ sticked on just the REP and XP systems.
He himself doesn't know what the Rep Power: x @ x means, which makes me think... he found no explanation?
My guess is that the number before the @ is how many "reps" you have to give, and the number after is your actual rep points. you get +10 for every "I approve" and -1 for every "I disapprove".
I'm all detective-y.

No, it will be used as a tool of the Light Side, not a weapon of hatred.

Ok, lets say that someone answers a question, helps you with a problem, post something that made you rofl for hours. You give them positive rep.
By the same token, if someone is being a raging jackass, you give them negative rep. Others notice it (Especially newcomers) and think, well, this guy must be an asshole to have -9001 rep, so I'll take what he say with a grain of salt.
