The Karma system has been updated to a new Reputation system. Instead of a good/bad Karma system, the new system awards reputation points for posting messages and other activities, plus members can award good or bad reputation points (along with a comment) to other members.

Everyone was reset to 100 points to start with. Your current reputation was recalculated by awarding one point for each of your previous posts and three points for each thread you started. It takes 100 points to gain 1 reputation power point and 200 points to gain one green bar image of reputation power. The idea is that as you earn your reputation, the bar graph will grow.   

To change someones reputation by rating a post, click on the heart under the reputation bar inside a post. You can either Agree or Disagree with the post and add a comment to your rating. You can see your own latest reputation points and comments under 'Reputation' in your Forum Profile.

Enjoy!
