certindex,

If you need a beta tester let me know.

Truthfully, the rating threads into a persons karma should be seperate. A person should be judged on his/her character by what he/she posts, and the only way to do that of course is to post, however, having a seperate area for lets say, personality, posts, behavior, leadership etc...would be more meaningful than a basic popularity contest set upon a couple of posts that probably were just as meaningless to most, as it was to some.
Having limitations on voting, or polls are what sets up accuracy, so having a very stringent gate upon voting choices, or categories of that user would be prudent to the sucess of the hack.

Meaning in short, if I would like to vote on a user, giving them karma, i would be confronted with a area, that would have lets say...5 different voting areas. A sorted drop box if you will, in each category. These total votes across the board, would than be averaged out, after i had chosen a set value in the drop downs from each category, than ultimately totaled, and given a complete set amount that would be later displayed in that users karma area.
At anytime, any user could click on another member's karma profile link, and possibly see the last "10" entries given by other users, which would display all the votes given across the board in either a numberical output, or even a possible graphical bar output.
Any user who had voted on the member, could not vote again for a set time period.

To eliminate the "you scratched my back, so I will scratch yours" that is so prevailant on sites such as "EBay", a user would not be allowed to vote on any added karma given to him/her for at least 20 days from another user. This will also promote a more of a community base, due in part the user, if he/she really wants to set his/her karma at a higher standard, will now approach other users, or participate more in daily discussions.

So how is the progress?

[certindex]

ask me again in 2 days. ;-)

seriously though, we've been held up for the past couple days trying to figure something out non-related to the karma mod. i'll keep ya posted.

[certify]

ok.

[certify]

So how is the progress.

[Bender]

Can't wait for the release, too. Though I guess not as impatient as certify :P

[TheComputerGuy]

well I have waited for this long I can wait some more...I love the idea, and Tora!Tora! has some great points that needed to be stressed out a bit more also.
