It is now possible to give thanks to a forum member, for helping you find the solution to a problem. This can be done by clicking + (plus to increase karma) in the helpful post. Each post has a plus/minus icon below the posters name.
The voting is on a per-post basis, so if somebody posts a very helpful message, you have to vote for this specific message. You can choose “karma power”, or - how many points you would like to give the poster. 1 is for a generally helpful post, and 5 is for a life saver which is super detailed and universally helpful. You will also have to describe why you give these points, you can clarify that for example “this post helped me to fix my network”.
You can vote only once during 6 hours, so spend your votes wisely. The more you vote, the more we will see the emerge of most helpful forum members.
So don’t forget - give positive karma to useful and helpful posts, and clarify why you do that, and give negative karma to agressive and unhelpful posts and clarify why.
I’ll will give you 5 positive votes if you can help me get a firmware from Zyxel in Belarus.
The headquarter in Taiwan were very helpful, but they couldn’t give me the firmware, becuse they don’t have it and that this VLAN switch belongs to the Russian market.
)… Normis, does karma become out of date?..
