While thinking about the possible Karma System in development, I came upon an idea if it hasn't already been considered. So I'll just get right to the idea: Basically in your group settings (for a group you admin), where you can choose to either have open or restricted membership, with the karma system, what if you could select to only openly allow membership to users with some level of karma of your choosing. Well, just putting it out there to see what others think...

That wouldn't be a bad idea, but group conquerors could use that trust to their advantage because I'm sure founders would get more trusting of people with high karma levels and just forget about conquerors.

Interesting idea. I'll let more knowledgeable people answer your question.

And Lellowranger, what the devil are conquerors?

They are the people that gain a group's admin's trust, get admin privs, boot old admin and take over group...

Why do we need a Karma System? Bungie is fine w/out it!

They wouldn't likely have that much positive karma.

That could be me in a couple groups. But I'm too nice.

I don't know, it depends. Say, for a moment, the Karma Systemâ„¢ is flawed (unlikely, but possible) you could be letting members in for all the wrong reasons. However, if it works half as well as Achronos promises, I'd like to think that the founder of such a chapter would be of a high enough level of karma to be able to set the system up on his/her chapter in the first place (otherwise, he'd look like quite the hypocryte). Therefore, you could assume becasue of his high karma ranking, he would be far too mature and kind-hearted to ever even consider such an elitist system in the first place. :-)
