    I am new here and I was wondering what the Karma ratings are, and their significance on this site?

    Next to the greenlight under a persons post, there is an old fashioned scale icon. If someone likes a question you asked or you were very helpful to someone, they can give you Karma.

    You can see the threads where you got Karma by looking in your control panel (User CP). Scroll to the bottom of the page.

    It's always fun to get karma ... but what's the point if we just have "free karma" threads? Isn't it kind of like eBay feedback? Thoughtful posts and such should be what people get karma for. (Am I the only one that feels this way?)

    I do agree also ! But if you are referring to the Karma thread that Matt put on when he changed to this new sight, I believe It was intended to give some of the Karma back to everyone that was lost in the transfer to the new sight. John

    Bruce, I'm not trying to get on your case! I just wanted to clarify what people thought about Karma so we could all be on the same page. If people think Karma is just for fun, then yes, lets have a "Karma Party"! If not, well, then let's not...
