One thing you may want to look at is the ability for users to give Karma and comments based on posts as the Overgrow hack does. This would make the feature fun for the users and they would have the ability to apply negative/positive Karma with comments.

I agree with that fully

Not to seem overcritical but what exactly does this hack have to do with Karma at all? This is a very nice point system but I'm not really understanding where it is a Karma system.

When I think Karma I think Postive awards for Positive things, Negative awards for negative things? This is just points per post and reply etc.. There is no interaction with the rest of the community above this.

I was actually quite excited when I saw this, however it's not at all what I was expecting, perhaps I am missing something (I hope so) But where (other than the title) is karma involved here?

I would like to point out its not that I dont like the hack, I'm actually quite taken with it. Just think the name is very misleading.

[Guichi]

luckily for us
1. the hack is free unlike overgrows
2. the author seems to be very opened-minded about adding features that members want

i think this this a great start towards an exellent freeware karma hack. Thanks certify for a great hack, im going to install it either today or tommorow.

also, how about an auto-ban feature like the old UBB ones, this you can set the amount of negative karma so that the person is automatically banned for ex: -5 karma points.

Is there a way for another user to see the karma of everyone else??

[SaintDog]

I would have to agree with Bane, although it is a nice hack, the name is a little misleading since almost everyone (even if they have not used it personally on their board) is acustom to Overgrow's hack, such as the look & feel of it.

Certify does seem open minded about the hack, so I would hope he will try to replicate the hack that Overgrow has produced, or have something close .

pgowder: At this time, no, other users can not view other users karma. I as well as some others have mentioned it should be included in the postbit template, which would allow others to view it, but at this time, only you can view it.

Hi. nice hack

i was wondering if its possible just to have the points system to work in one forum and not all of them?

thanks
