# Karma emoji reactions don't always post a message to the karma channel

This is expected behaviour, not a bug.Karma only posts a card to the #karma channel for the first emoji reaction on a message. Any additional reactions after the first are still counted and awarded according to your Reaction mode setting — but they do not trigger additional public posts.**How many karma points are awarded depends on your Reaction mode**In Settings → Reactions, there are two modes:**1 karma max** — no matter how many people react with the karma emoji, the message author receives a maximum of 1 karma point total. Only the first reaction posts to the channel.**1 reaction = 1 karma** — each emoji reaction awards 1 karma point to the message author. If three people react, the author receives 3 karma points. Only the first reaction posts to the channel — the remaining two are counted silently.**Example using "1 reaction = 1 karma" mode**A colleague posts a message. Three people react with the karma emoji. The first reaction posts a card to #karma and awards 1 point. The second and third reactions each award 1 point but post nothing to the channel. The author ends up with 3 karma points total — all three visible in the dashboard and feed.**If you want to verify all reactions were counted**Open the [Karma dashboard](https://app.karmabot.chat) and check the Feed. Every reaction that triggered karma will appear there regardless of whether it generated a channel notification.
