METHODS

get_karma($username)

Returns either a string representing the total number of karma points for the passed $username or the total number of karma points and subroutine reference for good and bad karma comments. These references return the according karma levels when called in scalar context or a array of hash reference. Every hash reference has entries for the timestamp (timestamp), the giver (who) and the explanation string (reason) for its karma action.

add_karma($thing, $good, $reason, $who)

Adds or subtracts from the passed $thing's karma. $good is either 1 (to add a karma point to the $thing or 0 (to subtract). $reason is an optional string commenting on the reason for the change, and $who is the person modifying the karma of $thing. Nothing is returned.

VARS

ignore_selfkarma

Defaults to 1; determines whether to respect selfkarmaing or not.

num_comments

Defaults to 3; number of good and bad comments to display on explanations. Set this variable to 0 if you do not want to list reasons at all.

show_givers

Defaults to 1; whether to show who gave good or bad comments on explanations.

randomize_reasons

Defaults to 1; whether to randomize the order of reasons. If set to 0, the reasons are sorted in reversed chronological order.

karma_change_response

Defaults to 1; whether to show a response when the karma of a thing is changed. If true, the bot will reply with the new karma. If set to 0, the bot will silently update the karma, without a response.
