LOL and I've never used vBulletin before so I dont know if the mods will have to alter code or not but if vBulletin is anything like the SMFBoards all they have to do is get a karma package and upload the .zip to the ftp or w/e.

you are correct, I am not a dues-paying member, ... and, I am tired of all the bitchers and moaners that do nothing but complain about something that is free, and owes them nothing ... while you may not agree with me, it hardly qualifies me as a 'hypocrite' ... a hypocrite says one thing, and does another ... I stand by every word I say ... (I don't harbor grudges against anyone that disagrees with me, either, I just assume they are wrong :D ) ... :smokin:

If I could pay for Cafe membership once and not monthly I'd probably pay cuz I can afford it, but I cant afford it every month :p. But why would karma granting be for Cafe members only? :confused:

Ok guys...I'm putting my Mod badge down for a moment.
member latewood:
billionfold and image reaper...you guys are 2 of what I could best describe as "sensible"; As a member I feel you all have made contribution's to the community here. So, Quit Bitchin' at each other. I am Happy there is "No" Karma ratings here personally.
Badge On:
1st: It doesn't matter: Cafe member or not...your opinion carries just as much weight as the next guys. Period!
2nd: When Ron owned the site...there was a definite moratorium on the whole karma/popularity contest system's thing...It has been discussed periodically over time and found wanting. With that said, I still believe the Old guard still feels the same...No Karma system. we never have had it. We don't need it. You earn respect by word of mouth, so to speak...and that's that.
everyone is entitled to "Respect" and their "Opinion". I will never Ban anyone for that; I will argue, but I am also a member and entitled to "My" "Opinion" too!I
t's just that sometimes after stating an opinion...A disagreement ensues, and someone pulls the "Asshole" lever...Stumble bumble Bam! Banned...
Now that doesn't even apply to this thread, but you know what I mean. The participants of this thread, in fact, for the most part could be Mods themselves, but there are only so many seats in the "Henhouse". As the old saying goes, "all good things come to those who wait".
With that put forth, I would like to close in saying. "I rate each member by the way said member relates to the community as a whole, including, but not limited to, staying within the parameters of what the site was built for and use to it's full potential what has been given them...
So, I give the most respect to the guys/gals who put forth an effort to respect there fellow members and their opinion's regardless. If you are in a community, then you must respect each other 1st. If called...let's say hypocrite, you could choose to disregard the insult and be a better person by allowing your peer his opinion. After all are you a hypocrite? Just rattling everybodies chain...peace

I agree with Orangeman about being able to trust people easier, but i also agree that sadly it would turn into a populairty contest... and then it'll end up with flame wars. Probably started by me lol... I can see it now.

Lol, nvm then. I didnt think of it like this. I just wanted a simple karma system, people on this other forum had it (and even I had it on my old forum). Never turned into anything. If anything it just had more people devoted into giving useful info for karma points :p.
