Post by: SteveP on April 20, 2009, 08:33:00 pm: Ok, the feature will be enabled for everyone tonight :happy2:

The Mk5GolfGTI Power to Weight Ratio System: -

This is basically a "karma" system which will allow you to give a thumbs up to another member if they have help you in some way, or have maybe posted a useful guide or you have successfully purchased something from them.

You will only be again to give more power/bhp (positive "karma") at this stage, the role of dishing out additional weight (or negative "karma") is reserved for the mods.

The other restrictions are you can only give a member more bhp once every 12 hours and a you must have a minimum post count of 50 to give more bhp to another member.

To give some more forum power (once they have done something worth while!) click on the "Add bhp" in the members profile display on the left hand side of the screen (as shown below): -

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fkk207%2FStevep_010%2Fkarma.jpg&hash=167d2ef92c9437ef37add00ca4160c6c22e2e67a)

Any questions please ask :happy2:

Every time or most times someone like John_o doing a review how he does, will give him a BHP increase, basically showing the forum that he contributes a lot to its growing success. :drinking:

Post by: Hedge on April 23, 2009, 05:04:21 pm: Where I came from we have a thanks facility and you can only thank a person once.
You can later remove that thanks and it shows up on the profile of the user as the number of times they have been thanked and also the number of times they have thanked others.

It appears to work quite well. Maybe something like this could be implemented here. :smiley:
