About Karma

Member Karma is a way of ranking each member based on their contributions to Newschoolers. Members accumulate Karma points for posting, rating and uploading content. Many types of contributions are considered, and some are weighted more heavily than others.

Members may also directly rate other memberes through the Karma XChange. You may add or remove Karma points for each member through their profile, and directly in the Forums beneath each poster's name. The Karma XChange value takes effect immediately.

Every night, points for new contributions like posts and uploads are added to each member's Karma rating. If a member's post or upload has been removed by a moderator, the member will also lose the associated Karma points.
Karma Tips

Don't piss members off. Being rude will just earn you a low Karma Xchange rating which will drag down your overall score.
Post content. You get points for content you post, and feedback you gather like comments and ratings. But, negative feedback or having your content removed results in karma point loss.

I'll give you some to start out with.

+K = Positive Karma

yea its basically a way to see who is a good member and who starts fights in Non Ski Gabber because they have nothing better to do.
ps. i gave you some Karma. Welcome to NS:)

The key to remember about Karma is that the system is designed to score you based on your overall goodness as a member of newschoolers.com. So basically absolutely everything you do on here is scored.

As well, it is not scored on simple quantity, but very much so on quality. Take ratings - if you rate stuff you get scored higher. However, if you rate stuff bad that on average everyone else thought was good... you score lower.

We're even so fancy to take into account if your average lower ratings scores have a trending effect towards style vs. skill or something like that, it can redeem you.

We will never, ever release the math behind this thing. Its like a magic secret... but in general it seems as though it scores a "good NSer" high.

So just be a good member of the site and you'll rack up the Karma score in nothing flat.
