Here are the complied notes I have for inserting a karma system into CBB. My ideas plus a few others from the dev.xoops site before newbb2 went belly up.
_____
Gaining Karma:
a. 10 karma for every post
b. If a members (non-mod/admin) post gets stickied 100 karma
c. votes for posts
1 pip = -15 karma
2 pip = -5
3 pip = 1
4 pip = 5
5 pip = 10
d. Number of views. Views of your thread divided by 20 = karma
e. Weekly a member can give a bonus/penality karma (up to 10% max of that users karma) to/from another user with the ability to attach such a action to a pm on why they are doing so. Removing karma does not give it to anyone, it simply is removed.
f. earning/losing karma by administrators
Same as above except no limits.
g. Karma market or bank
Several directions you can go with this, but I was thinking perhaps have a 'casino' module. Where with the karma you put in the bank you can have simple games like slots, blackjack 21, poker and roulette. You can wager your karma either against the house or another member (whatever karma they have in the bank).
Those are just some features in a very beginning stage, or even concepts. If you have interest, we could have further discussion.
Also put the karma rating in with the RPG stats so everyone knows their current karma standing. Also perhaps have it merge with the post count ranks. Thus you can have titles for not only going in the plus but in the negatives. Since it will be possible to have negative karma.
None the less my thoughts on the topic.. Also on a side note, if you could take a look at this idea I had and let me know how feasible it is and if you'd have any interest in pursuing it?
