Karma Forum Ranking

The Member Forum has been redesigned to have all the bells and whistles

that you would expect from a robust forum. And now it has karma

rankings. Each time you post, others can rank you using Karma Points.

The more points you have, the more visibility you will gain. Plus, top

Karma leaders will be featured on the Karma Leader board. And you can

help improve the forum by decreasing bad commenter's karma points.

Check out the new Member Forum.

What? Karma is not NS-exclusive. It's a popular forum feature.

 

[Malcolm]

yeah im pretty sure ns wasnt the first one to use that system

 

[Elijah.]

It isn't.

 

[kepler.]

That's just typical NS, always thinking we did it first. I guess because Newschoolers is such a unique forum, we get a lot of people who never go on any other forum. They just assume since they heard it here first it must be that NS created it.

 

[jason...]

A similar system was on nsmb years before ns had it... This is almost as bad as that kid who thought ns invented lolcats.

 

[Brock.]

this must have been the only website hes ever been on if he didnt know what lolcats are

Really? I knew of similar systems, but I've never heard it called Karma or executed in exactly the same way as NS's before.
