pmvForum | | Re: Fame? (7th Mar 08 at 4:15pm UTC) | | When this was last suggested, it was decided that it wouldn't be added.
Ross then said that if you could make a very strong point for it, he would contemplate adding it.
For this to be in with a chance of being added, you will have to persuade Ross with lots of GOOD uses for it. | |

pmwww | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 5:27am UTC) | | My good use would be for:
- Activity - +1
- Recruiting - +3
- Members Respect
 Those are the 3 I could think of at the moment.
I give respect to the ones that deserve it, like devotion to the forum, really good activity, helping the staff members, etc.
But it could be an option to use it or not.

pmwww | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 5:45am UTC) | | The reason this was rejected was because of abuse, though.
People intentionally "smiting" others just because they don't like them, or a group of people turning on one person, smiting them say 20 times an hour total.  | |

pmwww | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 5:54am UTC) | | There could be a code to take out the smite, California {R.I.P} had made one.
Sure people will smite other people because they don't like that person, thats how life is, thats what people do at school, work, public places, etc. | |

I don't know, I still don't much like the whole Karma/Fame thing.
It just seems like more of a popularity thing than what it's actually meant for; thanking people for helpful posts, or for being kind, etc. | |

pmwww | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 9:29am UTC) | | | Perhaps if it were implemented with the (admin side) option to choose "exalt and smite" or just "exalt", so admins can choose which setting they can use? | |

pmvForum | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 9:50am UTC) | | Yes it should have the three options:
Disabled
Exalt
Smite & Exalt
and the limit for smiting should be set to 2 hours. (same with exalting).
I suggest you wait for Ross to give the final say. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 12:09pm UTC) | | I'm yet to see a karma/fame/whatever you want to call it system work well. As Marc pointed out, it always ends up as a popularity contest and I find that alienates more members than it helps.
More persuasion is needed on this as to how it could help a forum. | |

Guest | | Re: Fame? (8th Mar 08 at 8:16pm UTC) | | | Well for starters everyone wants it to be added, thats should be a good enough reason...and you know how helpful this can be for setting up things in the forum? Maybe not the karma system it's but with it being edited with codes there is so much that the karma system can be used for all because of the exalt setup giving you the options to. One way for sure that this can be used is in competitions, for example on a vBulletin i'm an admin on we are setting up something called Pie Day and how it work is that everyone that signs up wil have a karma area added and it will say Pie'd and the person at the end of the day that taken part ib it and has the ;east amount of times being pie'd will get a prize, there is one example that the karma system can be used for. I have so many more examples of how this can be used, the problem is that most people don't have a clue how to use it. I would really like this to be added, so if you wnat i can keep posting examples, and you can't fight the inevitable, this will get added in sooner or later and you know it, everyone wants it and they will just keep asking till they get it, so why not give everyone what they wont | |
