Ignore that it exists for the time being.

If you suddenly notice your name change color, come back to us then.

On the left there's a bar(at least, there is on the WoW skin). There's something on there called the "Site FAQ". Read the whole thing.

That said, here's the part relevant to your question.

Quote:
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 orange.
Karma between 3.01 and 3.65 = scholar. Posts are in light blue.
Karma between 3.66 and 4.34 = sage. Posts are in green.
Karma between 4.35 and 5 = guru. Posts are in red.
Administrators posts are in maroon.

Q: What are the karma ratings?

A: Excellent = 5.0
Good = 4.0
Decent = 3.0
Default = 2.0
Awful = 1.0



The colors may not be relevant to you if you use a different style sheet. Also, Admins on the WoW skin are in purple, not maroon.

On the FFXI skin:

Scholars-Yellow
Sage-Red
Guru-Green
Admin-Orange

Like Poldaran said, it's explained in the FAQ it explains it all. You'll never see your actual karma score as RJ killed it for complaining about his karma I think.

Rated almost everyone up for the helpful info ^^
I'd rate up the admins too but there doesn't seem to be a little green arrow for them. Maybe they're too cool to need rating? lol

Nah, it's because some people were idiots back when Alla was sold to a company that had a very tangential relationship to IGE and were rating admins down left and right.

They ruined it for us.

Yes.

If memory serves, Alla Himself got defaulted on one thread back during the "ZOMG IGE OWNS ALLA" hysteria. Smiley: laugh

They should totally allow us to karma camp admins again. I'd be all over Tyrandor for siding with Jord all the time.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it was because of that or because =10 defaulted Alla when he posted a thread that was promoting WoW. (Giving out free trial accounts or something.)

It wasn't really him or the thread that deserved the rate downs. It was just that it was during a period of time when there was at least one new WoW > FFXI! thread in =10 every hour or two. Anything relating to WoW was basically a dead horse and outlawed!
