Karma Points: Rules & Ranks

Hi Everyone,

Here are the Karma Points Rules:

Each posted message will give you 1 Karma Point.
You won't be able to open or post attachments, or even to create a new topic before you accumulate your first 5 points (Bronze Rank). Every 5 points will promote you to a higher Karma Rank, which will grant you more and more previleges in using this Forum.

You won't be getting valid points if you post meaningless monossylabic messages like "?", "yes", "great", "no", "I like" or any reply that is clearly off topic. This rule is to be taken seriously!.. Members insistingly disregarding this, will stay grounded at the minimum Iron rank, untill their behaviour changes.

Here are the Karma Ranks and the respective previleges:

After reaching the Platinum Rank at 25 points, you get a 1 month trial membership at Giantess Fatale, absolutely free!
However, from this point on you will progress at half speed: You will get Rank promotion each 10 points, instead of 5 points... But each new Rank will keep granting you new previleges:

35-44 Points: Sapphire: Create Events in Calendar
   Edit Own Events in Calendar
   Move Own Topics

45-54 Points: Emerald: Edit Custom Title
   Add Polls to already Created (own) Topics
   Post HTML

   Lock Own Topics

65-74 Points: Ruby: Lock Own Polls
   Edit Own Polls

75-99 Points: Pearl: Announce Topics
   Make Sticky topics

After you've reached the Pearl Rank at 75 points, you will have won your 3rd free membership at Giantess Fatale. From this point on you will need 25 more points to reach the final Rank (when you win your 4th free membership):

100 Points: Ambar: Remove Polls

Every 25 new Points will grant you a new Free Membership at Giantess Fatale members area. There will be a maximum of 12 free memberships (=1 year) for each member.
These rules exist not only to compensate members who contribute the most, but also to stimulate participation, sharing and discussion.

Enjoy!
