Karma

Hello,
Could someone tell me what the small “Karma” label under our profiles means and what it is used for?
Thank you

Hello,

The Karma System

The karma system is one of those elegant features that contribute to the community feel of a website by allowing you to give feedback to those who deserve it. You can use this tool to express appreciation or disapproval for any member.

Perhaps you posted to ask for help on how to do something and received a quick and useful response from another member whom you want to appreciate with more than just words. You can applaud them by giving them Karma. Perhaps another member responded to the same post negatively, offering no help. You can punish them by removing Karma. However, when you punish someone, you must then write a message to an admin or a moderator and inform them of this in case of a major issue.

Please use the karma system responsibly. Do not abuse it by artificially influencing someone's karma or by engaging in a personal war against someone by reducing their karma when it is not necessary. If abuse of the karma system is detected, it will be disabled as it is not a necessity.

Karma controls are located in the top right of each forum post. The ‹ + › sign adds karma and the ‹ - › sign removes it. You cannot adjust your own karma.

Have a good weekend

Marylena

Thank you for your clear and precise response.
I find the idea interesting in that it proposes a sort of self-management, but I don't feel up to managing other people's karma, mine being already a mystery to me :-D.
Have a beautiful day full of subtle flights.

Thank you, Marylenea, for this explanation; it is well understood.

Have a good evening

+1 to your karma:!

Thank you, Tom
Have a good evening
