Karma system enabled, applaud or smite

[hartiberlin]

Hi ALL,
I did now enable the Karma system in the Forum software.

This is a feature where you can vote on another user,
if you like his postings or not.

I finally enabled this, as many users complained about other
users hijacking their threads and posting totally unrelated things, etc...

The voting is anonymous, so nobody knows who has
voted positively or negatively.

So be nice and don´t abuse this feature.

If a user gets too many total negative Karma votes,
he will be put on ReadOnly mode.

Also I will enforce, that nobody will
register with a second anonymous username to play games
and tricks with other users.

So please be gentle and stay ontopic and don´t abuse the
forum. Then your Karma will also be going positive.

So this will be member based rating system of other members
and will help to ban trolls and offtopic and annoying posters.

P.S. You can only rate others, if you have already posted 20 postings,
so just registering a new account and smite  other users will not work
and if ou try to do this you also will be catched and banned this way.

Regards. Stefan. (admin)

This will help to overload the data flow.

What is needed is for the "Report to moderator" button to do something, so that
we can do something about the abusers and time wasters pushing up the data
flow and causing this:

"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the
server being busy. Please try again later".

Wow this feature is surely getting abused. All the serious researchers are getting negative rep. Looks like there's are an overload of hidden skeptics around.

Thanks Stefan for this feature, I applaud you. It should help so long as people don't gang together and abuse it. ... Wow, even you have two negs Stefan!  That's crazy. Who would do that.

People who seek truth while trying to find some form of evidence should stick together, but it seems already these people are getting attacked with the karma abuse. I've done my share of positive Karma clicks today.
