Title: A Karma Description Mod for 2.1?
Post by: Sternenfee on January 06, 2022, 04:41:33 AM
Hi everyone,

is it maybe possible to do this hack:
https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=192

to adapt to the 2.1 or to write something like that for the 2.1?

I find this very useful in forums where you can sell, buy or trade something

I rummaged through the mods again, looking for a similar mod and came across this one:
https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=346

It seems like he's doing something similar.

Is this a paid request or a free one?

The trader system is better than karma, less prone to abuse

Karma was entirely removed from 2.1 when we added Likes, because Karma was very biased and you could up-rate or down-rate people repeatedly over time. Trader System or similar is vastly better if that's the type of site you're trying to build.

a free request, but I've found the trader system - that completes the request for me. Thread can be closed.

So 2.1 has "likes" natively? That's new.
