Karma

Karma is a feature that shows the popularity of a certain member. If members are allowed, they can choose to to raise (Applaud) or lower (Smite) a person's karma. This is how a member's popularity is calculated. The following options are available in the Karma menu:

• Disable Karma - disables the use of this feature
• Enable Karma Total - makes SMF show only the total of points received
• Enable Karma Positive/Negative - shows the positive points as well as the negative points for the user

• Set the minimum posts needed to modify karma: admins can set a minimum posts that a user must have before raising or lowering someone's karma
• Set wait time in hours: this is the time that an admin specifies, before a user can modify karma again
• Restrict administrators to wait time: this specifies whether or not the forum administrators are restricted by the time limit

---

• Karma Label: admins set this to whatever they want the label to be, when a user looks at what another user's karma is
• Karma Applaud Label: the label of how the applaud image will appear
• Karma Smite Label: the label of how the smite image will appear
