This week we are introducing a new requested feature that adds "karma" to users' profiles. Karma, in very short words, reflects your activity at Wikidot.com. What is immediately visible is that every user icon (avatar) now has an indicator with 0 to 5 bars that reflect "karma levels" — from "none" to "guru".
You can read more about the karma system in the Karma FAQ.
The general rule is that the more you use Wikidot, the higher your karma is. We are trying to make the karma distribution both fair and motivating for the users and you can get karma for various activities, like creating content, participating in discussions, being active on community portals (like Wikidot's community wiki) and using AdSense on your wikis (this actually helps us too!!!)
Next week we will probably work on improving the AdSense functionality and developing anti-spam techniques.
We wish everyone high karma and good time using Wikidot!
