people can rate your posts. they click on the karma word at the top right or the set of scales.
You have an option of making it positive or negative, and you can write a comment and sign it.
Positive gives you an increase prportional to the power of the person who gave it. If spuggie gave you karma your karma would increase by 12 because he's got power 12.
If he gave negative your karma would decrease by 6 because it roughly half of the power of the person taking it.

You can't give karma yet because you haven't made 100 posts, once you have made 100 posts you'll be on power 1.

your power increases by 1 for every 6 months your a member, for every 1000 posts made, and every 50 karma points you get.

So if you have 100 karma you'd have power 2 on top of any existing power.


I'm on power 7 because...
100 posts gives 1
2000 posts gives 2
150 karma gives 3
membership longer than six months gives 1
