No, it's different. Your karma does affect your rep power but other things affect your rep power too. If you look at your karma points in your profile you'll see that you've got tons more karma points than rep power. As Rindy said if someone has rep power of 40 they will increase your karma by 40 or decrease it by 20 but that may not actually alter your rep power at the time. So unless you keep regular tabs on your karma, as far as I am aware, there's no way of knowing these days when it is altered. It's quite easy to miss.

I'm not aware of any way of knowing how much one's karma goes up or down. Not like we used to have when a little message flashed up to tell us we had lost or gained a specific number of karma points.

I know the relevant post does tell you how much karma you currently have and give you the info regarding what the karma granter or deducter said when they gave or took karma. BUT I'm not aware of anywhere where it tells you exactly how much has been given or taken. Is there somewhere or do you keep a note of your running total? I have no idea what my total is. I only notice something has changed when my rep power is affected and then I look in my CP to see what the karma statements are but that doesn't tell me how much was given or taken.

As to the comment about 52 - it could also be 53 I think, and I don't know on a day to day basis what people's re power is either so I have no idea who had 52 or 53 when your karma was deducted, or if indeed there was just one person or more than one person.

Hence my questions about how you were so sure you knew who it was. Hope that clarifies it a bit now.

What wouldyou do if you were not on the pc, sit at home counting, baked beans. Do not try to tell me accywebs most prolific poster in fact East Lancashires most prolific poster does not know how to work out who gave me 26 bad karma points 26+26 = 52 power, so given the fact that they can only give you half it' s rather obvious who it was. I hope that clarifies my point as I only post when I have something constructive to offer the forum

I think Willow wants to know how you know that it was 26 points? Do you keep a record of all karma that you are given or is it noted somewhere on screen?

But that's what I thought the points were as I described in the entry I suggested in 'My Profile' now showing 1504 points .. if you now gave me some Karma ..

.. you have power of 46 .. would this not then amend to 1550 ? and you can roughly work out who the karma-giver was due to the increase ?

Ok .. it's not now showing on the front page, but think still available in 'My Profile' ??

..but sometimes someone can give or take karma and it might not alter your reputation power, so you don't know how much power that person has.

What a sorry lot you are if all you are concerned about is your karma.

We're not, we're just wondering how Ianto knew how much power the member had, who deducted his karma.

Have some karma grumpy chops.

I am glad I have 54 or else he would be blaming me

I take that little notice since it stopped popping up and telling you I would not know who gave or took what. For you to know how much was taken you must keep an eye on it and remember what you had before.

While we are on about karma look at my last bad karma but with a good comment. I meant to ask cashy at the meet if he had meant to give me good karma or a bad comment

I had to blurr out that last one as it was too rude to post on a family site

I would like to point out that the karma which was given in connection with my thread about perfumes did not come from me. (suspect it was comment ABOUT me)
Neil - In that thread I answered your doubts the following day.

Don't worry, I know who it is from as it was signed, it was not about you and I know you answered my comments.

Why have you masked out the comment in the example, on the good karma I gave you?
