Karma System

A thought came to mind a couple of days ago. I know the Karma System is set up so a person is allowed to give out two karma for a 24 hour period(due in part to the aggressive abuse of the rep system last year). Which I don't mind much at all, so this is just a suggestion. I am not always on Fauna at the same time everyday, sometimes I am only on for maybe a few minutes. When I can get on in the evening yesterday and give out karma, I may only be able to get on this site today in the morning and not be allowed to give out karma. So I having to wait another day to go back and give karma to someone who deserves it. With my memory, I have a hard time trying to even remember who I wanted to give karma to a couple of days ago and where that post is hidden. So my question:

Can we have the Karma System set for two karma per 12 hour period?

I'm sure it's possible, the question is, will he do it?

I dont even understand the Karma system to be honest with you.

Like i'll see people that have like 10 green bars, but a karma power number less than mine. As you can see, my green bars are low.

What i had wondered is, do you get more bars from people with a higher karma rating? How does that go?

I dont give out karma often, only because i usually only do when i think its an exceptionally good post thats highly informative and on point. Plus, i usually forget there's even a button that says i can give karma. LoL!

Sorry, but the system is written for the limiter in 24 hour segments. It cannot be changed to a 12 hour period without custom programming. Which quite honestly, I can't see spending the money to implement.

As it exists now, I think it is working effectively to reduce the abuse that ran rampant a while back. People do not give out the karma points as frivolously since they are limited to just two per 24 day.

No, it's not perfect at all and I still get instances of some members abusing it, but I guess it will have to do for now.

Well if changing it would cost money then I see no reason to bother with it. Thanks for the explanation.

This is a little off topic, but i think that a name should be required on the Karma System. I had gotten a negative karma(or red one i dont really know how it works) and i really didnt deserve it. So i think it wold be nice so you could contact the person and try to sort it out. Just a thought.

If you were a Contributor member or above, you would be able to see who posted the Karma points on you.

LOL well maybe i should boost up. Guess you have a fix for everything.

The only problem with knowing who gave you negative Karma is that the temptation is there to give it back. I recently got my first red mark, and it was for a very benign post...just that the person was upset with me for something else. I'll even admit to being tempted to return the favor...but when I looked at his subsequent posts (even though I took issue with the content) I realized that if it were anybody else's post I wouldn't bother. Sucks to be a grownup sometimes, lol. (that wasn't aimed at you, LeosForLess)

Did everyone miss my question in my previous post?
