What is Karma and how do I get more?

Karma is a measure of a person's standing on the web boards; 0 is neutral, negative is bad, positive is good. Moderators can warn (lower karma) or praise (raise karma) people based on their posts. If your Karma has been affected by a moderator, you will be eMailed the details of why your Karma was affected, and by whom. If someone's Karma becomes too negative (-10 or worse), that person is banned from the web boards until a moderator raises their Karma.)

If you follow the web board guidelines, you will not have a problem with your Karma.

In addition to what Cashew said, whatever you do, don't try to get karma. Members often do this by posting rediculous spam of distracting the moderators. The exact opposite effect will occur, and you'll find yourself in the negatives. Behave yourself, (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/guidelines.html")read the web board guidelines(/url), and enjoy yourself. You're all set if you keep that in mind.

Karma isn't everything. You really should look at the quality of your posts.
And not the quantity. Be good, post good stuff, don't spam, and don't flam for no reason.
Follow the rules and you should become a model citizen of the boards in no time.

Karma is your measure of how your doing on the boards. Negative is bad positive is good.

If you are posting well, getting along, and helping out.

Don't expect it to come very quickly. It takes time to get karma. If your doing those things a moderator will come along and give you karma.

Don't go around the boards and focus on it. Just be nice.

Welcome to the boards!

Or just look at what I posted which is straight out of your member info where it explains karma and has a link to the forum guidelines.

Just click on the little "info" icon at the top of your post.

Really, you should at least do a bit of investigating first...

AIM is another term for AOL Instant Messenger. You can download this instant messenging software from (url="http://"http://www.aol.com")www.aol.com(/url) It's rather handy if you have friends you want to chat with online or if you just need to ask a quick question to somebody who happens to be online at the time.

If you run OS X then you can find a really good Carbonized AIM client known as Adium at (url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/adamiser")http://homepage.mac.com/adamiser(/url) Trust me, it's quite good.

you mean an-y-more. And nobody's gonna take my karma off me would you? I've got the same karma as SD, so he can't pretend he's better than me anymore

Heh, I'm probably the best-behaved member on the boards, that is, excepting good ol' DA.
