Q: I see posters rated as Scholar, Sage and Guru. What's up with that and how do I get a title?

A: That is part of the Karma system. Your Karma rating is determined by averaging every rating your posts have received from the users of the site. The rating comes from posts made under your registered name on any of the rated forums for any game covered by allakhazam.com, but does not include posts on user journals. You must have at least 15 posts before you receive a Karma rating. Then any future post you make will start out at your Karma level. Anonymous posts start at a rating of 2. Titles are assigned to your posts according to the following scale:

Karma below 3 = user. Posts are in dark blue.
Karma between 3.01 and 3.65 = scholar. Posts are in yellow.
Karma between 3.66 and 4.34 = sage. Posts are in green.
Karma between 4.35 and 5 = guru. Posts are in red

I read that already, it only explains that you need to be Scholar or higher to rate people and that you need more than 15 posts to have a karma rating...if you'd read what i said you see that despite the number of rates ive recieved on my posts, my main karma avg always stays at 2.18 (it has for the past week)...

VROOOOOOOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




That's your overall karma, as in, karma calculated from every post you've made. Don't ever expect that number to be high with posts such as these.

And if it hasn't moved, you really haven't been rated much if at all then.

Then why are you so concerned about how karma works? I think you're a winey bi[i][/i]tch. Now let's see how quickly you respond, since you don't care and all...

Yet you said it twice, so you're really not.

And how do you bite your tongue with your head up your ***?

I'm not sure what you're whining about, OP. You asked how it works; you're just getting an object lesson. Every time anyone mentions karma, the natives go on a rating frenzy.

It's a pretty silly system, in my opinion, especially with rampant sock puppetry about. However, it's the system we have.

And to answer your question, I believe your ratings, good and bad, are averaged out with your total post count (unrated posts are excluded as far as I can tell).

How did Exo not answer you? Did you want someone to give you the code?

edit: Just noticed this was pointed out by Exo AGAIN, heh.

Actually, rule of the thumb anywhere, posting about Karma is bringing forth death and destruction, specially those who think they are Gods cause they have socks galor and can bury any post they wish.


Then again, why would you choose the Asylum for a question like that when there are forums better suited for it?

Sinoras, this is the Asylum, not the FFXI forum. There are a few things you should know before considering posting regularly here:

1. We don't care. Especially about you. If you have some personal problem or something else that needs advice/pity, don't bring it here, because we'll just rip you a new one for it.

2. The best way to get karma bombed is to ***** about karma. This includes, but is not limited to, "omg my karma sux!!1one", "Rate me down!!", and "Rate me up!!".

3. Cutesy little emotes and ASCII faces suck. Everybody knows they suck, and I'm pretty sure that nobody knows what they mean. So, none of that crap, m'kay? ~_^

4. When in doubt, GFY. Then, GYJO.

5. We aren't nice. In fact, we're down right mean (and more than a bit elitist). Get used to it. If you can't take a beating and dish it out right back, save yourself some psychiatric difficulty and unplug your computer now. We don't want or need people who don't have think skin.

6. See number 4.

7. The best way to get people around here to take you seriously is to make them laugh. This isn't prison, you don't have to make somebody your ***** to be accepted. Make us laugh and doors will open up.

Now, take all this knowledge and GFY. Kkthx~la.
