Karma is a built-in function within the UniWar Forums that allows a person to award and be awarded points for good forum postings.

The karma points (or cookies as some people call them) are listed on the left side of every member post, under their Member ID, Title and Stars. The format looks like this:

Karma: ***

Any member can receive karma at any point while they are a member here once they've made their first post. However, to grant karma to others, you must have a Posts: count of at least 50 in these forums. Once you have made those 50 posts, you will see a new button in the same section of each members posts (right below their Karma: count line).

If you press that button on a person's post, their Karma count will increase by one. Some people call this giving a person a karma cookie.

There is a limit on granting karma. You may only award a person a single applaud within a one hour period.

Finally, the spirit of karma here on the UniWar forums is to show appreciation for a post that a person has made. If you feel that a certain post is above average or especially helpful, then hit that applaud link under the member's id for that post and award them a cookie.

Enjoy.

So close to being able to grant karma! It will run over dogma!

Is this working? We have some posters with more than 50 posts, yet I don't see any Karma points.
