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
Select the rating you want from the drop-down list to the left of the post, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the 'Rate Posts' button.
Wonderoustremor, only people who are scholar or above can see that. People like myself cant see that unless they are scholar or above.
They got rid of it for users? Awww, no fun. Used to be that the drop-down and button showed up regardless of karma; users could try to rate posts, it just wouldn't do any good. And then they'd be confused and/or angry. Good times!
