Karma on BE, how does it work?
 
I have just got a karma from someone on this forum and now I have 432 points.... No idea how it works? Seems to be something like a stockexchange game thingy..... comments please ?

Yes, you can use your points on the stock exchange (on BE). You can also see someone's karma by looking at the blue boxes under their name. I give karma for posts I really like whether they be funny, thoughtful or just really interesting.

Have never played the stock exchange, i'd probably lose it all!:huh:
Like Comet, I give karma for good posts, ones that have made me laugh or if someone has been really helpful etc.
I give far more than I receive :cry_smile:

Karma is where you can send secret messages to someone and there is no record on your account, only on there! haha! :lol:

Actually, I try and send karma as much as poss... but I often forget... I think Christmas eve or maybe the day I had a few too many drinks and decided to karma everyone I could find with Christmas salutations... :rofl: I was online for about 3 hours! (or so it seemed!)

Take your number of karma points and divide them by the current stock price (you can get a quote on the page). Take off a bit for 'transaction fee' (the bank always wins) and there you go.

I was thinking that perhaps he could fly out each night and bring us food and wine..... I wasn't extending the invitation of actually patronising the caravan to any more persons than the invited (selected?) few? :lol:

Of course his dongle gets crap reception at his new place so I can be as brave about these things without much hope of getting into trouble.... yet! :ohmy: :lol:
