Here are some frequently asked questions in regards to the Karma feature. If anyone has more questions or needs clarification I will update this post or answer in a reply.
Please no off topic in here, no "Yay the Karma option rules" or "This sucks"! Just ask questions only regarding the Karma feature if you do not see your question answered in this post or if you do not understand one of the answers.
What exactly is the Karma Feature?
The Karma feature is simply a point system. Exhault means +1 point, Smite means - 1 pt.
Who can 'vote' Karma on members?
Any Registered member can 'vote' plus or minus one Karma point once per hour.
Will having better Karma mean we are a considered a better member and having negative Karma mean we are considered a bad member?
No, Karma points is just something for fun and does not have any basis on how the member is rated here.
Will having positive Karma or Karma of a certain value mean we get certain 'perks' here?
No, and again the Karma system is just meant to be something fun and not to be taken seriously as any kind of rating or perk system.
Will the Karma feature be permanent on the WF Forums?
As long as members don't fight about it and understand it has no real meaning and that it's not to be taken seriously it will stay.
Will members be able to see who gave us Karma?
Only admins can see who gave Karma via the security log. Members cannot view who gave them Karma.
What happens if I smite an Admin or Mod? Will they be mad and ban me?
Of course not. You can smite admins or mods, we actually get a kick out of that. It's ok to smite, it's all in good fun!
