So, just cruising someone's medal when I saw a medal dedicated for helping the staff in Karma Level.

What is Karma?

I have also heard about Karma stars, what it is? Is it a Forum rule?

Sorry for any inconvineance.

Karma was the old system of rewarding members who were contributive and helpful to the community. It has been replaced by commendations and the medal system that we have now.

Older members who in the past had karma levels were rewarded a medal when the change took place, that's why in their profiles you see the message 'Previous karma level carried over to the new system.' That's my understanding of it at least.

Anyone who had +5 karma stars when the system was changed was awarded a medal to acknowledge that.

I see.. When did this all changed?

[Jay]

I thought you had read the newbie guide?

Of course, I read but nowdays, no one can get those stars?

[sonnyBlack]

Karma stars no longer exist so no one can get them now. Medals are still handed out though, it's covered in the guide you've been linked to if you want to learn more.

Ok, thanks.

So, whosoever has got that, it means they have helped the staff.

Done!
