I just want to see people more willing to help each other out, answering one anothers questions and less bashing (bashing anime is ok, other people can get a little ugly. i know i do it too, but goddamn sometimes people just push my buttons..)

On that note, would it be possible to create a sort of Karma system for the forums? Right now the only things people can really see about users are their # of posts and when they joined. I know there is that Vote on a user option in people's profiles, but nobody ever seems to use it.

A Karma system could give people good karma for providing news on shows/anime events, providing help with technical problems, creating sigs for new members, etc etc. The only question would be how to administer the Karma. The only options I can imagine are other users being able to add a point (one a day towards every user) at their discretion because making the mods regulate everyone's Karma would seem pretty daunting. Of course, Mods could also lower people's Karma for shit posting, breaking forum rules and just being jackasses in general...

Good luck with your newly acquired responsibility Terra! I trust you'll actually do a pretty good job, so don't prove me wrong...
