Dumb question or one asked many times by new people to DD…
What is the Karma thing all about?
Under My Controls has a listing of Comments Made, Muted, Reported, Erased, and Warning.
Anyone who has info on this please advise.
There wasn't tutorial when I signed up…
"Thank You!" in advance to all who respond.8D

It's just there. Nobody knows why. Just to tell you what you do or whatever.

Posted at 7:07PM, Jul. 8, 2007

I have good Karma.

Cthulhu you have any answers?

Posted at 7:07PM, Jul. 8, 2007

Nope. They don't mean anything. But if your warning level is up… Then you got a problem

Posted at 7:07PM, Jul. 8, 2007

so no one knows which listing is for what?
I understand "warning" level, but what about the others?

Here is my awesomeness.

Comments Made: 95
Comments Muted: 0 (0%)
Comments Reported: 0 (0%)
Comments Erased: 0 (0%)
Warning: 0%

Comments made=comments left on other comics.
Comments Muted=comments that were muted, made unreadable, because the person in charge of the comic didn't like it. It's supposed to be used only when abusive.
Comments reported=comments that were reported to the Admins for the same reasons as above.
Comments erased=comments the Admins actually removed because they saw it necessary.
Warning=your warning level that Admins give when you misbehave.

The Karma system is what it sounds like. A system set in place to gauge how good or bad you are. 0% is good, 100% means you are banned. Admins can raise your Karma to their liking, but will only do so if you've broken rules.

Your Karma drops about two points a day until it hits zero again. So if you had a 110% karma rating, you would be banned for about five days. Of course, you could be at 100% and have a perma-ban.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, Atom Apple! That explains it very well.

I think my warning was up for awhile. For some reason, Steve just didn't like me. Then during the Christmas party I flashed him, and he's been nice to me ever since.

If your Karma is over 100% you'll get reincarnated as a frog.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Well if you put a crown on your head you get to kiss hot chicks.

See Evil_Snuffkin…being a frog may not be bad.
Might want to pick animal that no one would want to be reincarnated as…

Oh no, I actually like frogs too. I just wouldn't be happy eatting worms and sitting in stagnant pools ;)

Well the reverse of Atom's comment would work for you as frog…

Being a frog is not just flies and stagnant water!!!!

Okay, if I ended up as some sort of tree frog I'd agree with you.
