About Karma
Member Karma is a way of ranking each member based on their
contributions to Newschoolers. Members accumulate Karma points for
posting, rating and uploading content.
Many types of contributions are considered, and some are weighted more
heavily than others.
Members may also directly rate other memberes through the Karma
XChange. You may add or remove Karma points for each member through
their profile, and directly in the Forums
beneath each poster's name. The Karma XChange value takes effect
immediately.
Every night, points for new contributions like posts and uploads
are added to each member's Karma rating. If a member's post or upload
has been removed by a moderator, the
member will also lose the associated Karma points.
Karma Tips
- Don't piss members off. Being rude will just earn you a low Karma Xchange rating which will drag down your overall score.
- Post content. You get points for content you post, and feedback
you gather like comments and ratings. But, negative feedback or having
your content removed results in karma point loss.
