About covers it ....

one more question, what do the karma do? do they just recognize people for there contributions or something else?

Other community members give you karma solely based upon their own standards, whatever they maybe.

I have no standards.

Agreed.....

It tends to be a reflection of how helpful someone is in the forums. I have given karma to people for being helpful, but also for being funny.

Karma corrupts. It inflates one's ego. It leads to karma-whoredom. Just ask the Doc...

@ PoSmedley:

Asked and answered. Mirsguy...normally I wouldn't bother answering someone of such puny karma...however, in your case....

How can you give more then one?

It's tied to your User Level.

Sorry about that, Doc. That was pure sarcastic humor, and I did not mean it toward you, or anyone, really. Just being silly.

I hope you will accept my most sincere apologies.

Oh, and by the way, if you want to defame me, do it in a way I won't enjoy so much, cuz I really love pie!

   Defame? Heck no!  Here's some more pie, Bri! 

And before you ask - your user level is tied to Stardock Staff opinions of your attitude and credibility on the Board.
ie Be a decent Human Being consistently over a loooong period of time, helping others (Stardock & Members), renounce flaming, just be an all round "good guy (gal)" , up the ladder you go.

Being a two faced toad flaming all in sight with a selfish "me me" attatude, out to show how wonderful they are ,consigns the individual to the basement for life

Works for me, the Politically Correct Brigade have long since lost their senses over this kind of thing
