Documentation for the Karma plugin for Supybot
==============================================
Purpose
-------
Plugin for keeping track of Karma for users and things in a channel.
Usage
-----
Provides a simple tracker for setting Karma (thing++, thing--).
If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma`` is set to ``True``
(default since 2014.05.07), saying `boats++` will give 1 karma
to ``boats``, and ``ships--`` will subtract 1 karma from ``ships``.
However, if you use this in a sentence, like
``That deserves a ++. Kevin++``, 1 karma will be added to
``That deserves a ++. Kevin``, so you should only add or subtract karma
in a line that doesn't have anything else in it.
Alternatively, you can restrict karma tracking to nicks in the current
channel by setting `config plugins.Karma.onlyNicks` to ``True``.
If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma` is set to `False``,
you must address the bot with nick or prefix to add or subtract karma.
