Karma is a new feature added to Proboards... we'll test it out and see if it works well here - PM me if you have any probs or reply to this thread. And remember, you can only use it once every hour
kar·ma (kär'mə)
n.
1. Hinduism & Buddhism. The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
2. Fate; destiny.
3. Informal. A distinctive aura, atmosphere, or feeling: There's bad karma around the house today.
Karma on ProBoards is used basically as an approval rating. Members are able to smite and exalt their fellow members once an hour based on whether they like or dislike the member. All members will start with a karma of 0.
What does exalt do?
ex·alt (ĭg-zôlt')
tr.v., -alt·ed, -alt·ing, -alts.
1. To raise in rank, character, or status; elevate: exalted the shepherd to the rank of grand vizier
If you like a member, exalt them. By exalting them, you will increase their karma by one point. For example, if the user has a karma of 0, he will now have a karma of 1.
What does smite do?
smite (smīt)
v., smote (smōt), smit·ten (smĭt'n) or smote, smit·ing, smites.
v.tr.
1. a. To inflict a heavy blow on, with or as if with the hand, a tool, or a weapon.
DON'T WORRY! Its not as bad as it sounds! If you don't like a member click the smite link (please don't go to their house and "inflict a heavy blow.") If the user has a karma of 0, and you smite the user, he will have a karma of -1.
