What is Karma? (...inspired by w.luke)

In Buddhist terms of old, Karma is the Universal Power Source that governs your life. If you are good to others, you are given a good and prestigious life. If you are bad to others you are given a bad and shameful life often for several reincarnations.

It is simpler here at Overgrow. If you post good quality and thoughtful messages, your fellow members will approve of your posts. By their approval you gain Karma. If you post incorrect, misleading or messages against the guidelines, they will disapprove and you will lose Karma.

Your karmic rating will be displayed underneath all of your posts. Only you will know your exact number of karmic points-- you can view this by clicking on the Karma icon on the right hand side of your own post. For every 100 points positive or negative, you will gain another karmic rating light.

Features:

-Members can approve or disapprove of a post by clicking on the Karma icon

-You can give 10 Karma awards every 24 hours

-You can only give one Karma award per post

-Users with more karma and a longer time registered will give more karma points with each click than a new member with no karma. An old well respected user might give 7 points per click while a new user will only give 1.

-You can see if your post has positive or negative karma by clicking on the icon.

Try it out! When you read a post you like-- the person was helpful, informative, friendly-- click the Karma icon on the lower right and give them a bit. If you see a member posting trash, click the Karma icon and let them know.
