Moderation Configuration Variables

More of Slash’s configuration variables deal with moderation and meta-moderation than with any other aspect of the system. Site administrators have considerable power to fine-tune the moderation system by tweaking these variables.

The default value of badkarma is -10, and the default value of goodkarma is 25.
