I've recently reported a player by the name of "Joordanwownb" and he got banned very quickly. I reported him for fly hacking on a server to get to the cheese and to the hole. I reported the map code and the number of time it took for him to get to the hole.

The other players took about 90 seconds to get to the hole but this dude took about 18 seconds.

When he got banned the game told me and I received +1 Karma.

But here's the main question. What do I do with this "Karma" or what does it mean on me?

And also how would +1 Karma Effect me? (I know what Karma means but I'm asking how it effects my game play etc.)

Karma doesn't effect the gameplay in anyway, I believe it's a system for mods to use when looking at reports, as to how trusting the reporter has been in the past.

Oh Okay.

Thanks for your information :D

BUT. Is there a way to check your Karma?

There is no way to check your karma other than correctly reporting and the rule breaker being banned. In which case it'll post a message in chat with +1 karma you have whatever amount.

Edit: I should probably also mention that there is a Q&A thread for this stuff Q&A

Hello!

Your karma doesn't really affect anything for you as a player. It's a tool (which isn't really used seriously) that allows moderators to check how credible you are when reporting another user.

Again, even for us staff, there isn't a huge purpose that means anything serious.

If you have any other questions, please use the thread that Wuave linked above.

Thanks!
