People can rate other people's posts, which regarding their overall points gives them higher or lower kharma.
For example:
You could like this post I make here, and give it a +Awesome mod, or a +Clever mod. (Mods are based off what 5 different ratings for plus and minus the person who puts it in wants)
However you could also mod this thread, -WTF or -Lame.
The points add to your Kharma pool and levels you up as a member over time, and can give rewards. On another forum I've been, they've had it that once a member reaches level 20 in Kharma, they can post in the 20+ Kharma Forum, where people below 20 kharma cant. Also, people who haven't reached a certain level, can't make threads. Like level 4-5 or whatever. Also, all the records of the +'s and -'s stays in the persons profile.
You might say that the system would get abused, and it could, and probably would by a few members. However it can very easily be watched by mods to see who is modding themselves or others up obsessively.
KMC has been the same thing for like 8 years, its time for a change lol.

i also suggest that we have some more active mods that DON'T IGNORE ME GOD awehaweand i ask why is spamming against the rules because i had an idea for a thread that i did not steal from anywhere and is totally original and more own intellectual property like so and its just basically a thread to post links to your favourite websites or your own websites or games sites and things like that
i don't know but what if someone signs on then forgets about it then remembers it and wants to post again?
its real unlikely though.
AND like vinny was saying was what i was saying basically because apparently KMC did have a ratings/rewards thing before or something, if thats what hes on about
"What are referrals?
The administrator may have enabled referrals, which allows you to be credited for any new users you invite to the forum.
You gain referrals by promoting KMC Forums using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this:
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=110939
Each time someone follows this link to KMC Forums and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The number of referrals you have can be viewed in your profile.
Your administrator will have more information on any prizes or rewards that may be given out for referrals. Please be courteous when promoting KMC Forums by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals."
in the KMC FAQ
and like i already said in my original post is if we still have that shit and if we can still rate thread and stuff

It works fine on small forums that don't have a lot of spiteful cliques. A forum of this size, it was very easily be abused; I've never seen it work on a forum with more than 5,000 members.
As far as I know, referrals do absolutely nothing at all. I don't even know why we have them.
And spamming is against the rules because it is. What kind of question is that? It's against the rules because it's something that Raz decided he didn't want around on here.
Also, Walshy? Change your sig. Censor bypass is a bannable offense.

It would turn it from a real, somewhat mature, discussion forum to a silly kids online RPG, really.
Think before you type.

I disagree. I've seen it work fantastically on higher end forums, including forums much bigger than KMC's.
800,000+ Members, 2500average on forum.
Works perfectly fine there. As long as rules are brought up on the system, people still need to follow them like any other. It's not a difficult concept.

...how odd, you refute her point, but I should think before I type?
I'm sorry, dude, but it's my opinion that such a system changes the mood of a forum, and makes it more like a bubbly glitzy rpg than serious discussion.

Look, it just looks like a character sheet. Staff Awards, Karma, Mods seem like silly gimmicks to me.
Now I understand that it can be fun and many people enjoy it. But it's just not how I want KMC to be, and I think neither do many others.
But you're cool, definitely try to insult me just cause I disagree with your suggestion.

Insult? No. You had no idea what you were talking about, and just argued for the sake of arguing. You had no idea what it was and you still don't.
It is not some "bubbly glitzy rpg." Why don't you take more then just a scan over the site before making such a ridiculous statement. Have you ever taken a look around at our profiles on KMC? Not much different, other then the formatting. Oh and by the way, there isn't even an RP section on their whole site, so if any site had "bubbly glitzy rpg," it would be us.
It's dumb off the top of your head responses to things you don't understand like this, that make fairly decent ideas not even get considered.
....but you're cool, and all that. Yeah?

I did not mean that it is an RPG, but that it makes it feel and look like one.
And it would, it would totally change the feel of this place.
Seriously, no need to attack me just because I find your suggestion silly.

Just because you think it would make things silly, doesn't mean it actually would.
