I believe it has to do with the "Exalt" and "Smite" options below the users credentials. "Exalt" to promote or "raise" the members karma and "smite" to lower it.?

great choice in mods. and im LOVING the Karma! reputation or karma was something that would have been very helpful over at jetsowner. people tend to behave more when they see a series of green or red bars next to their usernames.

Not that it means a whole bunch but, I don't believe that the "karma" would have made much of a difference. Without consequence, some would have just considered the "negative karma rating" as a badge of honour.

Good point, but the negative karma rating could be linked to suspension, so if someone actually likes the forum they might be more inclined to keep themselves in check. Hopefully though we'll avoid the riff raff that all joined in the later days of ROTJ and the karma can just be a fun thing. Is there a way to see how we've acquired karma? Oh and yeah - excellent selection of mods. Glad this board was started and seems to be shaping up nicely.

Yeah if there is some kind of suspension thing or some kind of moderation when it comes to how much you give out then I think it could be great. Won't be to effective if some jerk can just give everyone bad karma all day long.

Great choice in moderators. Thanks for the endorsement! The idea here is to hopefully keep the moderate (adj.) in moderator. Wow, the board is filling out nicely - and fast! Wagner's captured the familiar look and feel of very well, don't you all think?

Great choice in Mods... Alot to live up to with some of the Mods on ROTJ. In my opinion Hendrix did a fantastic job... Seems like Viv kinda just got too busy with life to worry about being a MOD..understandabel. Remind me again who was the MOD whos brain broke? started posting pics of Hendrixes house? ended up getting banned then joined up again as Jhendrix and pretended to be Jimi? Perhaps THE weirdest thing IMO that ever happened on ROTJ.

Could you imagine? Like the Moose...Banned, Mention Chipman...Banned. Dislike the Wild...Banned

I have to say that the admin and choice of mods were a big reason why I decided to join up and "hang my hat" here.
Ric, I always enjoyed your posts on Jetsowner... interesting, well thought out and always respectful towards others.
Best of luck to you guys.

Thanks very much for the compliment Charon- I can sincerely say I felt the exact same about your contributions! I've always said that moderating is a pretty thankless job in general but sometimes all too necessary. IMO Alex and Viv set the bar very high. I know that Alex put in a LOT of time and effort especially in the last year or so and I for one really appreciate his efforts.

Well good luck to all of the mod's here,they are all good choices.Somedays you'll have to make choices you dont like and others will,and other days your decisions are gonna piss allot of ppl off but are the rights ones to make. I ran a Nascar forum here about 4 years ago,you think hockey fans can get nuts on a forum,try the Nascar ones-lol Since I was the only mod,it was easier to shut it down instead of banning 150 ppl-lol It takes a special person to mod,and my Nascar friends didnt have it sadly.
