Karma points system
 

Maybe just me but I did try looking back to find out just HOW the karma points "scoring " system works and could not really find anything concrete.
What I mean is what exactly dictates just how much karma you get or dish out?
I am guessing it must be based on some combination of length of membership, contributer level, level of karma, number of posts etc
But just how I am unsure and while not critical, it would be nice to know
Thank you in advance!

If you search the internet 'VBulletin karma' there are some explanations of how the system works in general.
