Cartel Points is a points system for users similar to karma you may have seen on other websites. Users are rewarded for their activity within the website and earn points which are then displayed on their profile. Cartel points are not just used in the forum though; users can earn points for many different activities around the site, and can also be deducted for negative behaviour.

Cartel Points can be useful to judge how credible information is that another user has provided you with.
