So let's test
if karma < 2 then start_discussion = false;

This place needs karma-level titles other than 4n0n l0053r. Even our leading G4lluz d0m3z7icuz doesn't have one. Ideas?

To keep things a little happier (for us, at least) we only allow people with Karma > -1 to start discussions.

"we"? Anyway, I was just going by this at the bottom of the forum page:

"you must have 2+ karma (you have 0) to start a new discussion."

In the spirit of l337 h4x0ring, I thought it worth testing this claim.

In Response to mkinyon (#30190):

The "we" comes from that message which we see when we try to start a discussion ("we" meaning "those of us with negative karma").

Due to my current karma of "-1", i have been unable to start a discussion here for months. I am also ineligible for meta-moderation duties.

It's possible that the "2+ karma" requirement for starting discussions is untrue, since you claim to have fewer than two points. I suspect that the actual requirement is "zero or higher".

Right, my karma is 0. Today was the first time I ever read or logged in to this forum.

That is certainly in keeping with Diablo's point of view [megagamerz.com].
