Could someone explain to me what the Karma figure is that shows against the user profile. I note that some people have an 0 (me included) and others have positive numbers against them. One user seems to have a negative sign against his profile with rather a large number after it. What does it mean. I know as you make more posts your job title goes up and have always wondered what the Karma figure is for. Geoff Log in to reply |

People can click on the -/+ beside and this increments the score by one (either way). Look you have 1 now! Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Last edited: 28/12/2011 at 10:06 by Peter Bennet Log in to reply |

[quote="People can click on the -/+ beside and this increments the score by one (either way). Peter[/quote] Thanks for that, I take it that people are scoring others on the topic and it's content then. I think I would be a bit worried if I started getting too many negatives though and to avoid that I will stop right now. Geoff Log in to reply |

It appears that members can hit the plus+ to applaud or hit the minus- to smite the particular message. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

Just a few notes to add to this... Seems like there is a 6 hour limit between the giving of Karma (in either the + ("applaud"  or - ("smite"way). So, if I gave northroad + karma now, I'd have to wait for 6 hours before I can give anyone else any karma (again, in either the + or - way).You can't + ("applaud" someone then - ("smite"to take it back, even if you've made a mistake. Once you've given it then that is it.Personally, I give + karma when I agree with or appreciate something someone said or did (sometimes given as an addition to thanking them by clicking on "Thank you" and I give - karma when I disagree with something someone said or did / has done.
