# /karma

Used to provide a user's karma and standing, as well as to check leaderboards.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Tip:** To see their own karma, users must first run [**/register**](/overview/slash-commands/register.md) to link a Steam Profile!
{% endhint %}

## Usage

In order to access this command visit any text or thread channel and type **/**, then select **/karma**.

When using [**/host**](/overview/slash-commands/host.md), users are given the option to provide karma to the LFG Post's host. Karma is a useful rating system of sorts for users to award their host's for an enjoyable experience. It can be seen as a useful manner for distinguishing experienced hosts, or simply to encourage competition. 

**/karma** on usage will provide your current karma, Global standing, and Server standing if used within a server text channel. Also listed are Global and Server leaderboards for their top 10 hosts.

![Each parameter provides a brief description for what is required.](https://2783831204-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fw9RzKL1DbOX4aV4ym0yC%2Fuploads%2F2Re8GcvL4FTZ8VqpM142%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=e64c99c7-e9bd-4c30-a2c9-bbe9b429b4cd)

### Available Parameters

**/karma** allows you to provide a **User ID** or mention a user. Providing this is only necessary if you are interested in seeing the karma and Global/Server rankings for a user. You will still be provided your own karma and ranking even if the parameter is provided.

![This is a great feature to track /host usage in your server!](https://2783831204-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fw9RzKL1DbOX4aV4ym0yC%2Fuploads%2FxZz5AnL9GC8KpSAuAF06%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=0aa097cb-0aa6-4a58-8118-7ee9e99e84e5)
