[KYCnot.me](https://kycnot.me) implements a karma system to encourage quality contributions and maintain community standards. Users can earn (or lose) karma points through various interactions on the platform, primarily through their comments on services.
|
|
|
|
## How to Earn Karma
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to earn karma points:
|
|
|
|
1. **Comment Approval** (+1 point)
|
|
|
|
- When your comment moves from 'unmoderated' to 'approved' status
|
|
- This is the basic reward for contributing a valid comment
|
|
|
|
2. **Comment Verification** (+5 points)
|
|
|
|
- When your comment is marked as 'verified'
|
|
- This is a significant reward for providing particularly valuable or verified information
|
|
|
|
3. **Upvotes**
|
|
- Each upvote on your comment adds +1 to your karma
|
|
- Similarly, each downvote reduces your karma by -1
|
|
- This allows the community to reward helpful contributions
|
|
|
|
## Karma Penalties
|
|
|
|
The system also includes penalties to discourage spam and low-quality content:
|
|
|
|
1. **Spam Detection** (-10 points)
|
|
- If your comment is marked as suspicious/spam
|
|
- This is a significant penalty to discourage spam behavior
|
|
- If the spam mark is removed, the 10 points are restored
|
|
|
|
## Karma Tracking
|
|
|
|
The system maintains a detailed record of all karma changes through:
|
|
|
|
1. **Karma Transactions**
|
|
|
|
- Every karma change is recorded as a transaction
|
|
- Each transaction includes:
|
|
- The action that triggered it
|
|
- The number of points awarded/deducted
|
|
- A description of why the karma changed
|
|
- The related comment (if applicable)
|
|
|
|
2. **Total Karma**
|
|
- Your total karma is displayed on your profile
|
|
- It's the sum of all your karma transactions
|
|
- This score helps establish your reputation in the community
|
|
|
|
## Impact of Karma
|
|
|
|
Your karma score is more than just a number - it's a reflection of your contributions to the community. Higher karma scores indicate:
|
|
|
|
- Active participation in the community
|
|
- History of providing valuable information
|
|
- Trustworthiness of your contributions
|
|
- Commitment to community standards
|
|
|
|
The karma system helps maintain the quality of discussions and encourages meaningful contributions to the platform.
