Power

Power is a modifier for various functions involving the galleries. Karma is a modifier for it that is in the midst of being removed.

Power

Power is calculated using the following factors:

Source	Power Gained
Initial amount	1
Days registered	2/73
Each forum post made	1/500?
Each level in Henjutsu	1/3

A user is considered 'active' if they have made at least one forum post on that day.

The total Power above is multiplied by a Karma Factor depending on a user's Karma Level.

All Stars and some Awards also give an additional multiplier to Power. Their combined effects are additive, not multiplicative. The base multiplier is 1.

Type	Name	Multiplier	Maximum
Stars1	Catgirl lvl3	4	4
	Catgirl lvl2	3.5
	Catgirl	3
	Septuastar	2.5
	Quintstar	2
	Tristar	1.5
	Gold	1
	Silver	0.5
	Bronze	0.25
Awards	Cookie	0.2	2.2
	2008 Awards1
	Twin Jewel of Awesomeness	1
	Dull Jewel of Almostness	0.5
	2009 Awards1
	Yellow Crystal of Win	1
	Blue Crystal of Win	0.75
	Purple Crystal of Win	0.5
Total			7.2

¹ - Only the best one counts.

Formula

(May be out of date)

Power = rounddown(((1 + days_registered / 36.5) + (post_count / 500) + (henjutsu_level / 3) + (power_tank_level / 2)) * (1 + star_multiplier) * karma_factor)

Mod Power

Sometimes referred to as "modmod". This affects a user's ability to vote more strongly on Gallery Tagging, Gallery Ratings, Gallery Comments, and on gallery petitions for Renaming and Expunging. Mod Power is capped at 100.

The amount of Power needed to achieve a certain amount of Mod Power is as follows:

Power	Mod Power

Karma System

Note that this system is due to be disconnected from Power.

Karma Imbuements

In order to imbue someone with Karma, click on a karma link (usually in the user's signature), use the +K link next to their Henjutsu Level on their forum profile, or manually enter a karma URL with their User ID. The user imbued will receive Karma points equal to the imbuer's current Power or 1000, whichever is lower. After penalties and boosts are applied (see below), the final result is rounded to the nearest integer.

Each time a user imbues someone with Karma, their Karma Power will temporarily be drained (this has no effect on their actual Power). Karma Power regenerates at a rate of 0.5% per minute and it will never drop below 1.

Limits

• New users are unable to imbue karma until they have posted. They must also post at least once to receive karma.
• The maximum base amount of karma that may be imbued is 1000, regardless of a user's maximum power.
• Users may only imbue the same person with karma once every 72 hours.
• Repeated imbues between the same people will hurt both of them. Whenever a user imbues someone, one level of Karmic Exhaustion is added to both sides. KE starts at 15% and reduces imbued karma by 3% per level down to a minimum of 1%.
  • KE levels wear off one at a time: on their own every 30 days and actively through imbues made within a reasonable time frame (5 monthly imbues = 6 days?)
• Users cannot imbue someone if their post count did not change since their last imbuement from them.

Karma Level Prerequisites

The karma required per level increases exponentially by a factor of approximately 1.7793835.

Level	Karma Factor	Min. Karma
7	1	N/A
8	1⅙	178
9	1⅓	317
10	1.5	564

16	2.5	18,000

(Levels lower than 7 are not shown since active users can no longer achieve them due to negative karma being disabled.)

How To Make A K+ Link

To make a karma link which allows imbues the following can be added to a forum signature:

[url=http://e-hentai.org/dmspublic/karma.php?u={USER}&k=p]{TEXT}[/url]

• Replace {USER} with a numeric forum ID (found by clicking the username in a post or by users clicking their own name at the top next to the "Logged in as" text). For example, a karma link for user Fubar would use the URL http://e-hentai.org/dmspublic/karma.php?u=10506&k=p
• Replace {TEXT} with whatever text is desired (e.g. K+, Thank You!)

The URL itself may also be used in a browser to imbue another user for contributions that were made outside of the forum. The thread column for that imbue will then remain empty on the user's karma log.
