the ol Karma Hack ported to UBB6? anyone?

It's basically like the Rating System now isn't it? I wouldn't know since I never had the Karma Hack.

its pretty cool.. you give members a warning when they do something retarted and they get banned after like 5 or so warnings so that way they will behave.. i thought it was already made for UBB6 but i couldnt find it..

I have a hack I have written for 6 which is very similar.

It is not 100% yet, just gotta add in some easy maintainence routines and a cpl features that someone suggested to me.

I don't know if i will be able to release it publicly or not though, I first have to check with the people who had me write it in the first place. If they give the OK, I'll post it.

If they say no, im sorry if im letting anyone down, but i figured i would let you know that its in the works and may possibly be on your plate for dinner.

Greetings

SWEET! Can i be like a tester? you have AIM or ICQ?

why would they have a say if YOU made it its your hack not theres

That would be cool is Karma was made for UBB6. ..But with UBB5 it stuffed up a few hacks when u installed it like avatars..

release the damm thing! i wannna see it!!

Tech-Ni-Kal, they have a say because they had me write it. Yes it is my hack, but if they want to have it as a feature for just their board I respect that. If you asked me to write something just for your board, and not for public release I would respect your wishes as well.

Anyway, the hack is 100% done and so far is bug free. I didn't include any wordlets for it because this was not originally for public release. I have to dbl check the documentation and then reinstall on a clean board.

I'll post some screenshots in a bit...

skrew the screenshots release the hack!!

Yes, release it f00;)

Ahh Isee now
I would like to see the actual karma hack ported to UBB6 cause that was a great hack

I'm sure it will be. And when you release the hack, I'd be glad to help out with a version 2 if you want to make one. I got great ideas to improve the karma hack from UBB5 and know how to draft them over.

I will know by tomorrow around 9am whether or now I will be able to release it.

Like I said though, its not the karma hack by leshrac, i didnt port anything over. Its just a hack that is similar to karma. Instead of writing out all the features right now though, just wait till 9am tomorrow and it will all be here if i get the ok.

So ruph & lunatic have some patience... 8hrs left...

btw ruph, my hack may not have the features you need... it doesnt have auto banning, as that is not an issue on the board it was written for. It's just used for keeping track of one aspect of a member's contribution and banning will be decided on an idividual basis.

I could code it in fairly easy though, but as of yet there is no need.

There are quite a few other differences between mine and the karma hack, many of which I personally find make mine more convenient but if/when I release it tomorrow, I'm more than open for feedback on what to add / change.

I'm actually not wanting it to auto ban people like it did on version 5. Powerhungry moderators could easily negative karma members until they are banned. You should leave that feature out and just have it as an aspect of who admins should mainly watch out for.

so are u gonna release it yet?

I think after like 5 -karma, it should notify the admin for a possible ban. This way the admin makes the final move.

Just a question... Is the persons karma displayed in their profile for the version you made, or under the persons name...?

I want the automatic ban feature.. it was the only way Mods could ban people

So hows the hack goin along?? its still not out yet!
