Karma king
 
I know my karma sucks and I know why! I really don't have a problem with that. I would like to know about the karma system and does anybody care how much karma they have? Are there any benefits from good karma?

WillowTheWhisp 28-06-2007 17:43
Re: Karma king
 
There's a thread somewhere which explains the system. I'll see if I can find it.

Karma doesn't really mean anything. It's only numbers on a computer screen but it is a fun way of giving someone a pat on the back or a kick up the bum. Not to be taken too seriously.

At one time we were able to see our actual karma score as well as our rep power. The more karma you have the higher your rep power goes but other things affect rep power too.

piltymon 28-06-2007 17:48
Re: Karma king
 
So what does rep power equal? Any benefits/down sides? Is it just a pride thing?

WillowTheWhisp 28-06-2007 17:50
Re: Karma king
 
The higher your rep power the more effect it has one someone else when you give them karma.

Re: Karma king
 
Your karma can't be all that bad. You've got a rep power of one already.

Sorry but no can do yet. A couple of peeps welcomed me back the other day and I spent the miserably little amount of good karma that I had to offer on them. Good try though Mani! I'll see what I can do tomorrow. After all, giving out good is much better than bad!

I've given out too much in the past 24 hours too. Trouble is I can't remember who I gave it to! :D

:( In that case it got lost in the ether because I didn't receive it. Only got one karma and that was signed.

Re: Karma king
 
I think the added benefit of karma is that people who dont like to step in the middle of arguments and get involved can just leave simple little messages via karma to let them know when they are in the right or wrong.

WillowTheWhisp 29-06-2007 07:46
Re: Karma king
 
At one time we could actually see the karma points and when we got some new comment it flashed up to tell us. That was in the good old days before the Belgians.

It would be better if karma wasn't anonymous. I have no respect at all for people who leave unsigned karma.

WillowTheWhisp 29-06-2007 21:48
Re: Karma king
 
I think it's normally anonymous on other forums too but Roy has always said he likes it this way.

I wouldn't know Willow, as I'm not on any other forums which uses karma.
It's ok being anonymous too, as long as people sign who it's from. Otherwise it could just be a blind insult, or an incorrect comment.

Some people have been known to sign negative karma with someone else's name in the past but I think they got told off when it was found out.

Lancashire Online has it, and an additional thing too where you can thank people or groan at them - that shows up on the open forum immediately after the post it relates to and it shows who did it.

That does happy doesnt it? On another forum I go on they check all the reputation points to ensure they are for good reasons, they are signed by the correct people if they are signed, and that its all kept fair.

What a good idea. Someone gave me bad Karma which was unsigned for being "foolish and bloody minded" It would have been rather interesting if that was to show up.

Apparently that is a bannable offence.

In which case they probably got banned. I don't know all the ins and outs but I just remember being told by 'staff' that it had occurred.

Well said Tin Monkey, if they have not got the courage to back up their opinions then dont award it either way. On a personal note I have and never will award bad Karma. It is my opinion that everyone is entitled to how they view things, but sign it PLEASE.

Let 's get one or two things straight, you did initial the neg karma. How else would it have come to light? The thing is it was based on a thread I didn't even make a post in. If you wish to send me neg karma by all means do but please leave it unsigned rather than use somebody else's initials. You have been found out now let the matter rest!!!
