There have been quite a few other games, that have possessed this "karma system", which basically holds 2 links, per forum post, on the left-hand side; that once clicked, can increase a user's karma statistic by a certain amount of points, and/or decrease a user's karma statistic by a certain amount of points, all depending on the quality of a forum post, of course. Karma over 0 is positive, karma below 0 is negative, and karma set at 0 is neutral, but that is probably obvious. So, in order for one to ammend a user's karma statistic, one would need to be logged in to the game. Also, a user could only ammend a user's karma statistic, about once per day, based on a user's specific IP address. Now, instead of having this "karma system", we could have a "reputation system", that basically follows the same structure, while perhaps implementing some new ideas, when that bridge is crossed. |
