Noob question on karma

[bjamminloe]

I see various discussions about it, but have no idea where it is, how you get it, etc..

I would regularly leave battles when my ship sank so I wouldn't have to sit there for 10 minutes watching the waves on the screen, and got some warning about quitting and leaving my allies in a lurch (which is bull, because, duh, I was dead).

There is probably a help page somewhere that I haven't seen yet.

quoted from the Wiki:

KarmaEdit
During a battle and within a short time after its end, other players may be complimented or reported for their battle performance or conduct. In a team list, right-click on the player to see the available options.

A player's Karma is calculated as the difference between the number of compliments and reports received, and may not be less than zero.
Karma is displayed alongside the player's nickname in the Player Menu of the Port.
It is prohibited to compliment or report players within the same Division.
If a player is complimented or reported, a system message appears after a battle. A message for reports will be displayed only if the player has been reported by at least two others. The message for compliments or reports will show the number of people who did so without specifying their nicknames. The message is retained for the duration of the session in Notifications.
Reports for "Misbehaviour in chat" by multiple players can be used to levy chat sanctions.[1]
Your Karma level determines your daily limits on reports and compliments. It has no other known effect.

The following table is no longer correct. Now for example the limit is 11 when your Karma level is 0.

The irony of the system is that it in itself is more toxic (its abused) than the toxicity it purports to curb.

Interesting. I have never seen a list of players in a battle after it starts. Is this in premium accounts only?

Edit: I found it! Silly noob here.

Play well, speak well and cooperate/help and your karma goes up as players +1 you.

Play badly, AFK, rage and don't help your team and the karma goes down as they -1 you.

Well, that's the idea. In practice, damaging enemies with carriers, subs, torpedoes, radar, hydroacoustic search or just not playing to your teammate's ideals or tactics (however silly they may be) will also get you negative karma.

Even saying hello at times may secure you a thumbs down, as some folk seem to prefer to treat co-op as SP it seems...
