Karma system incoming!

Is it kind of like Sony Entertainment's new forum setup? A score system (vote thumbs up or down) for each topic, and the one with the most score shows on top? The reason I really dislike this is because when I make a post on SOE's DCUO forums, my topic shows up on about the 4th page. Though it might not be such a problem here because of less spam.

Nope ... this is user-based only. And I don't think there is any kind of ranking involved - it's just intended to add a little extra functionality to the forum which in a way gives people an idea of any particular user's popularity and/or ummm ... I suppose, helpfulness on the forum.

So if a guy has a long green bar, then you can probably guess that he/she/(it? :p) is being generally helpful and well-mannered, and if it's red you can bet the user spends most of his time being an ass.
 
Could be a good idea but the Karma amount should be shown under your details.
The actual number. Not just a bar.
Let's say under location. Or posts.
 
What's with the "Hopefully you will receive karma back from the guy you just gave to"?

If you receive karma is there an option to give back automatically?
 
So how has this been working out? So is it going to stay?

Seems there is a lot of fights in some random threads about the karma/rep.
 
IMO it has been working quite well, the trolls gets bad rep and the good guys get good rep and then there is all the rest of us inbetween :D
 
It works fine, the whole Anonymity thing has to be changed though, If you have the balls to give negative rep for no reason then you're name should be visible. Same goes for a positive rep, most guys do add their name though..but it should be automatic.
 
I still think people worry too much about the rep system. Getting angry because someone neg-repped you is the same as getting angry because some high-schooler tells you you're a doofus. :P
