We haz new karma

We have now implemented a new (and shiny) algorithm that should be more fair. The new algorithm will give karma points for (generally) positive actions and take karma points for (generally) negative actions.
Examples of positive actions:
- Plurking each day (quality plurking that is)
- Get responses on ones own plurks from other plurkers
- Getting extra fans
- …
Examples of negative actions:
- Karma will be lowered if a user requests friendship and gets rejected
- Getting unfollowed by friends will lower a user’s karma
- Spamming other users with too many plurks

Enjoy the karma updates. We’ve got a lot of goodies in store for the coming week! Stay tuned and keep on plurkin.
