I was planning on waiting until May 1 for this, but being bored and seeing so many topics threadjacked by Karma discussions, I felt like it was time for a preview of something I've been playing with. Proboards doesn't have any way to list or rank board members by Karma, like it does for Post Count. So I wrote a program that reads the membership roster and pulls the Karma from each member's profile data. Here are the results as of about 5 minutes ago. Top 10 KarmaRank | UserName | Karma | 1 | Thorne | 33 | 2 | daworm | 18 | 3 | ScarlettP | 10 | 4 | erinslion | 8 | 5 | Joedog | 7 | 5 | gridBug | 7 | 5 | tcrashfx | 7 | 8 | xterragirl | 6 | 8 | Sherry | 6 | 8 | el Gusano | 6 | 8 | Longshot! the Sane | 6 | 8 | Gary Poole | 6 |
Bottom 10 KarmaRank | UserName | Karma | 1 | The Easter Bunny | -24 | 2 | BushCheney08 | -22 | 3 | marshall | -18 | 4 | Bryan Stone | -5 | 5 | one | -3 | 5 | dabone | -3 | 7 | damnyankee | -2 | 7 | mermaid | -2 | 7 | gringarose | -2 | 10 | b33fj3rky | -1 | 10 | preppie | -1 | 10 | Crash0 | -1 |

How the heck did dabone get -3?
How the heck did I get +6?
Oh, and for those that wondered, I decided to not use karma for giving time-outs or for banning people. It's just for fun, and needs to stay that way.
And for those that email me whining about karma wars, let it go. It's not worth getting upset about.

What did the Easter Bunny do? As far as I can tell they posted once, and that post was removed. What was in that post that got them a -24? I guess once his schedule opened up after Sunday he went a little crazy. I guess that's what happens to fictional characters with too much time on their hands.

Not really, not current status at any rate. I could run it in a cron job and post the results periodically, or update an off site page, but I don't want to run it too often. It runs by a "screen scrape" technique that throws off some of the hit statistics for the board, and running to too often would be frowned upon by proboards. Don't want to piss them off.

True - we have plenty of time to piss them off, no need to start an earlier than necessary.

Actually, mine shouldn't count since I was basically in a coma for four days, self induced.
Oh. This is Thorne on Blood's computer. Whoops.

So, I'm guessing this "screen scraping" technique uses up bandwidth by looking at everyone's profile or something and getting the karma off each page? (Just wondering

Pretty much. It isn't the bandwidth so much as the hit counts though, because I don't follow any of the links for things like images, which is what eats up most of the bandwidth. I also don't follow the banner ad links, which keeps them from registering as a hit. I do try to code nice.
