Karma
 

This has prolly been mentioned before but how do people feel about having negative karma either removed, or a name being put to it? I'm sure this can easily be done (another forum i use disabled negative karma).

I just feel that if people want to be negative they should not be able to hide behind the fact that they don't have to show who they are. Perhaps it's just me, but I find it rather cheaky when someone leaves negative feedback slagging you off without daring to leave their identity, almost cowardly...

Thoughts?

Re: Karma
 

If people had to leave their name I doubt much negative would happen because of the expected neg return. By being annoymous someone can say what they want without fear of reprisal. I take it you have some neg, don't we all. Who have you been upsetting? Was it funny/insulting/boring?

Re: Karma
 

I havn't upset anyone in particular, well not that im aware, if they wish to say it out loud and explain then heres their chance ;)

Was from the 'theft' thread where I told people to not make mountains out of molehills. :D

I guess I can understand the reason behind it, that you would just give negative right back.. but it's very 'behind your back' when people can say rude things in karma then your chating to them the next day none the wiser. :p

Re: Karma
 

I suppose it is when you look at it like that. I don't always sign +ve karma, I like to leave them guessing.

Re: Karma
 

Yeah but we always know when it's you Neil!

Re: Karma
 

Yeh thats true hehehehe:D

Re: Karma
 

You wont next time ;) cus I will sign it from someone else. Thats the other good thing about karma.

Re: Karma
 

:D you've given the game away now to your new sig:rolleyes::D

Re: Karma
 

Actually, that's true isn't it. I could give bad karma, sign it from Neil and everyone would think he was the mean one.

Btw for the record - I've only ever once given bad karma and I did sign it my self.

Re: Karma
 

There is no real way of knowing who gave karma. Just because it is signed means nothing.

I just got this one - "Meet me in the park at midnight for some fun - accymel"

I wonder if it is genuine ;)

Re: Karma
 

PMSL!!!!! you'll soon find out as the genuine karmer giver will be there to jump out at you from the bushes:eek::D

Re: Karma
 

dont disagree with you cyfr for once, on the odd occasion i deduct i always sign it as a few can testify, though i sometimes forget when its positive,:D to be honest it cracks me up,but i do think its a bit crappy.

Re: Karma
 

if you work out how many was took and who's on line then you know most of the time. Just wait and take some back . I'd be on about 300 karma now if it wasn't for the witch hunt :D the nice decent people of this forum give me positive cos I've got my own mind, even if they don'talways agree, the nasty take it because they haven't got there own mind.
there are others of course, the odd times when someone genuinely doesn't agree with what I've put and rates that post on that content and signs it. if I can see where that person is coming from then i wont retaliate, but more often than not it's because they haven't read the post right and have automaticaly given me negative rather than posting and clarifying it first.
non of the other sites I use bother with karma even though it's enabled. If they dissagree they say so in the post.
I've come to the conclusion therefor that the karma is best ignored, pretend it doesn't exist or you'll just end up an *** licker and not have your own mind on here.

Re: Karma
 

You could have said 11pm Mel, the excitement is killing me

Re: Karma
 

cashman is one of the few who has got the guts to sign it by the way.

Re: Karma
 

Does that happen often ;)

Re: Karma
 

Oh dear its past 11pm if its not genuine you might find a gimp suit jump out at ya:rolleyes::D

Re: Karma
 

lol you git, you had me checking that then, you know I don't check it before i send.

Re: Karma
 

Its ok I will wait till midnight for you

Re: Karma
 

Hehehehe dont turn into a pumpkin:eek::D

Re: Karma
 

I told you to leave Tinks at home

Re: Karma
 

lol that was the best karma comment I've ever had.

Re: Karma
 

Which comment was that?

Re: Karma
 

its a shame that i don't know if it was pos or neg though lol

Re: Karma
 

that one in my post here i'll repeat it below

Re: Karma
 

Re: Karma
 

it didn't say anything willowthewhisp

Re: Karma
 

you tell by the little coloured blob next to it. Red is -ve and green is +ve

Re: Karma
 

Doesent Bad Karma Have A Red Square And Good Karma A Green One...
By The Way No,one Has Ever Had Bad Karma From Me....

Re: Karma
 

nor me grannyclaret and i always sign if i do give it

Re: Karma
 

no its clear blobby and no words , completely blank.

Re: Karma
 

yes but you're lovely, and one of the nicest ones on here, infact one of the nicest people I know. and if I could give you karma every single day I would do. you have a heart of gold.

Re: Karma
 

its them that give bad and dont sign that bugs some folk, but you can usually work out who it was anyway, so it just cracks me up.:rofl38:

Re: Karma
 

Re: Karma
 

Oh Madhatter,,,,You little creep....Now what are you after?????:4u: :rolleyz8:

Re: Karma
 

I have never given any bad Karma.....I feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion and who am I to say whether it is right or wrong? Just because I don't agree with a point of view is no reason to give negative karma.
I ALWAYS sign when I give positive Karma.

Re: Karma
 

I think that a clear blobby is from someone who has tried to give or take karma but doesn't have enough posts to do so. You need to have 100 posts under your belt to give or take karma.. Hope this helps.:D

Re: Karma
 

forgot about that one, it could only be two people because there was only two online with 0 power, still dunno though. I'll take it as possitive, negative usually comes with an insult.

Re: Karma
 

I take lots of karma off people without leaving my name.... mainly to wind them up.... yeagh i know.... horrible person arn't I :)

but if its someone who has annoyed me then i leave my name.... or obvious its me by reffering to a post.... As i did with madhatter for example..

but usually its just summat to do :) and it doesnt effect there karma as such cus they then cry about it and all the little sheep come running to give some back and there karma goes up more than ever before..

its not karma these poeple need....its A LIFE!!! :)

Re: Karma
 

yes but you were wrong, you jumped to conclusions.you just can't admit it :D

Theres a difference between using at as a weapon kipax and doing it to wind people up. karma vendeters are rife on this site now and it's not helping the site one little bit. as I've said I've lost about 200 to the same group of 6 people. It may wind me up but I also think how sad nasty and vindictive they are. But they do it because they think this site is 'their baby' and as an outsider I shouldnt be on here.

So it's not the karma that the issue, it's the way its done, why it's done, and the comments left.
I'm sure they think if they take all my karma I'll stop coming on, well I won't, I'll come on even more.

Re: Karma
 

I am interested to know which 6 you are accusing, then again I would be surprised if you had the stones to name those you suspect.

Re: Karma
 

Doesn't start with M and rhyme with mafia does it :)

hatter.. ya ahve to learn to ignore them.. there too serious about the site and your too serious about karma.. i ahve given you 17 and thats for more than i took.. even though i believe i had good reason..

Re: Karma
 

THATS JUST MEAN....at least now i know who it might be...:signwier:
but i still wouldent take it from you....

just some of the POINTLESS karma from the muppets in the stanley area,and not one of them has any valid reason to deduct, and i quite like the first one of the above, mouth off and dont leave your name .....WELL DONE your so brave (although its not hard to guess who the culprit is ) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Karma
 

Madhatter i just tried to give you some back,but it said i had to spread it around,,,,

Re: Karma
 

Although I had thread about karma and had some very nice replies I still dont know how to pass it or take it away LOL

Hope the bit of karma is put to good use (forgot to sign it so doing it on here)

Re: Karma
 

raver... i ahve never actually left any bad for you :)

as for the stanley forum.. haha i got bad karma 2 days ago for saying not enough fans at a friendly

ouch :) I sussed who it was and explained how I pay far more than a season ticket into the club blah blah... its not hard to work it out.. whos online.. how many they can take etc et.. only if your there at same time mind..

thing is...what does it matter? i didnt like the free bit that was insulting.. but the karma.. i could ahve complained in the thread and loads would have replaced it ten fold.... but i didnt..its hardly that important..

i will continue to leave bad karma where i think it will most cause mayhem hehe... so i aint gonna complain too much when i get it... best to do it in threads i am not involved with... its harder to get sussed..:)

oh and for the record I know for a fact i am not the only one who takes great pleasure in doing this.... others do it for same reasons...

i guess some of you are so easy :)

Re: Karma
 

see what i mean... Your supposed to give good karma for a good post or for someone giving helpfull info etc..... not in response to someone giving you some. its not a trade thing :)

theres lots of ways to abuse the system,, my way.. your way and other ways.. not many use it properly .

Re: Karma
 

Whatever turns you on KIPAX,,,:yelrotflm As they say different strokes for different people....

Re: Karma
 

i did make a good post no 35. I'm always spreading it around, probably to the people who are taking it off me but never mind, give to people who stick up for me in the threads too, for having my own mind, even when they think i'm wrong.

Re: Karma
 

Have just been in tears with laughter with the most wonderful, funny Karma against a thread I put up about buttons and things !! Anonymous appreciation about certain implements they didn't didn't think I would have trouble pressing. Great stuff :D

Re: Karma
 

kates fan club grows x

Re: Karma
 

This is true as I was the one who got bad karma and I deserved it.

Re: Karma
 

. ;)

Re: Karma
 

Sorry Bagpuss, I can't even remember what it was for now. I don't give bad karma because I feel absolutely rotten about it so I'd give you some good karma now to balance it out but I need to spread it around a bit more. That just shows how often I give out karma because it's ages ago that I gave some to you.

Re: Karma
 

After reading this thread I thought I would check out some more of madhatters posting to see if he derserved the negative karma he has been getting.
Well my verdict is madhatter believe it or not you are not the most interesting member or the most funny person on accyweb and to be honest you did derserve some negative karma so my advice is to get off your high horse sometimes and take it on the chin.

Re: Karma
 

I don't usually bother with it but since a certain twerp has just deducted some of mine and left a very size-ist comment I may have to "get in the ring" so to speak! Be afraid;you know who you are!:rolleyes:

Re: Karma
 

bagpuss, i said in the thread that it wasn't mels negative that I had a problem with, although i thought it was unnecessary even if desserved, it was the other 5 lots, the witch hunt,and the with hunt thread which seems to have disappeared . It was mels thread no one elses, so no one elses right to get involved. I know I'm far from the funiest, far from the most interesting, I don't do anything or go many places to be able to be interesting. What I do try to do is join in which is what this site is all about and what keeps it going. no regular posters, no site.

Re: Karma
 

What are you like?? hehe ;)
Did some one mention fib's.

It wasnt me that take-uth, really... hehe

Re: Karma
 

I just gave bagpuss good karma :D

Re: Karma
 

And I thank you and if you post something that I agree with or makes me smile I will return some karma.

Re: Karma
 

I suppose the best thing about the internet /forums is that you can actually be two faced about things. hehe

All good fun really and what’s it matter?

:)

Re: Karma
 

Ya' numpty ..:D

Re: Karma
 

think thats the point of this thread len, it matters when it's given vindictively and not for fun or cos I talk total crap which I do quite often on purpose :D someody has to now less has gone, or people don't agree.

Where is less anyway?

Re: Karma
 

Well it matters to you Len if I choose to give madhatter bad karma then it is up to me and you as a moderator should not use this imformation in your posts. As Roy has said before he has the karma system like this and he wants it to remain anonymous if the posts chooses it. My crime is not signing my name I'm not being two faced if he makes a good post he gets karma.
I would like you to resign your postion as moderator as I feel you have overstepped the mark this time.

Re: Karma
 

how about telling porkies bagpuss does that not count?:D

Re: Karma
 

Please explain a bit more.

Re: Karma
 

1st paragraph

Re: Karma
 

What is wrong with that ?
I read the thread and then checked out a few more of his posts, no porkies there Mr Cashman.

Re: Karma
 

its all about impressions, snakes in the grass spring to mind.:D and then you asking len to resign sorta confirmed it.

Re: Karma
 

what a load of old tripe :mad:

Re: Karma
 

int karma brilliant :)

Re: Karma
 

Sorry Sir but there is no snakes in the grass here I honestly thought madhatter was out of order and gave him neg karma unfortunatly I did not sign it. Len had no right to make this info common knowledge as only Roy should have that right.

Blackburn Rover thanks for signing the neg karma I have no probs with your opinion.

Re: Karma
 

Oh dear, I seem to have hit a nerve? I did not mention you in my post and I do not think it is right to purposely give bad Karma for the soul purpose of winding some one up in the hope that others get the blame for it. But you seem to have a guilty conscience, I can check if you like? I am sorry if you feel that I have pointed the finger at you but why should others take the cr**p just for your or some others entertainment.
If you have any complaints about a moderator’s competency then please get in touch with admin , till then I will do what I think is right. :)

Re: Karma
 

wooooa there cowboy... so yer not gonna hand in yer badge and gun and mosey on into the sunset then ? hehehehe :)

i dont recall seeing any instruction or rules as to what karma is for and how to use it.. so who is to say what the correct or incorrect use is... how do you know its not there for the reason i use it... to wind people up... might be?.... gotta admit i would be surprised.... but ya get me drift:)

karma has always been good for stirring things up since it started... threads like this happen at regular intervals...... just sit back and enjoy it :)

wow look at all them smiley........

Re: Karma
 

Karma is for fun,I agree but I make a simple statement and everyone jumps in holding their hands up, what can I say :idunno:

:)

Re: Karma
 

I have to say that the karma system is great fun... I will admit to getting miffed once when someone deducted karma for a completely nonsensical reason and was quite offensive with their comment but other than that....BRING IT ON!!!! :D :p

Oh and if I give negative I have ALWAYS signed my name if for no other reason to see if the other person responds.. as yet they have accepted the neg karma.. maybe cos I signed it :)

whoah does that mean I'm gonna get whacked now??? :o

Re: Karma
 

lmao thanks len and kipax you have both made me laugh tonight, bagpuss, len didn't give it away, you did lol, and by the looks of it did to len too, because I doubt if he went to check, just to accuse you. So you deserve that karma more than ever now because you've been more honest than you intended and caused some great entertainment.:)

Re: Karma
 

It most certainly is :D

Re: Karma
 

All we need now is another thread about Karma.

:)

Re: Karma
 

You must have a laugh reading the bull**** that I post as karma :D

Re: Karma
 

ah but len did not put your name to that comment-you did.:D
so i think the snakes ARE in the grass.:D

Re: Karma
 

I don't think any of us can decide who is or isn't an interesting or funny poster on Accy Web. We all have different likes and dislikes.

We all appreciate different things that other members care to share with us here. If we disagree we have the availability to answer back in a thread.

If there weren't people who post as regularly as Madhatter does then there would be nothing to read and the site would be dragged to a slow death.

The more some people make a fuss when they lose karma just encourages some members to take more for a reaction. Constant crying about karma losses only results in sympathy karma from the nice members once.;)

Re: Karma
 

No not really. We usually only look if something is going on. It would take far too much time if we had to try and read everyone’s Karma comments. End of the day most of it is just banter and the odd shout. :eek: hehe

Re: Karma
 

yeah and Roy told me the same story ;)

Re: Karma
 

But it’s true. When bagpus gets me the boot apply for the moderators job and you’ll see how time consuming it really is. Tracking down some ones Karma comments is a task but if needs be, it will be done.

:)

Re: Karma
 

Too true Len.

The mods come in for some stick, but I wouldn't do their fairly thankless task for a gold clock.(Yes Neil, clock...don't misquote me.);)

I'm sure they have better things to do than read every single karma comment.

Re: Karma
 

I feel I need to add.... As said i do leave bad karma and dont sign it and watch the fish wriggle.... my sense of humour I guess...
But I never and I mean 100% absoloutly NEVER leave comments that are personally insulting or anything like that as has been mentioned people recieve.. thats a whole different kettle of fish...

15 years on the internet and I have never typed the f word.(I even * it out if quoting where possible). i manage to argue without lowering to certain levels..

I play nice but not fair hehehe

Re: Karma
 

I dont quite understand this Karma thing how do I give someone Karma and how do I take it away?

Re: Karma
 

I am new and dont understand the Karma thing, how do I give karma to some one?

Re: Karma
 

If you look round the site there are plenty of threads explaining it do a search you will find all the info you want.

Re: Karma
 

did as you said and figured it out thanks for the help Mick :)

Re: Karma
 

Was that karma from you tod bear ?:D ........................nice one,,, your getting there but leave a little message,:D

Re: Karma
 

People get really twitched about Karma....I suppose it is like when you got 'stars' for good work when you were a child....and the folk who say it doesn't matter to them, are the ones who seem to want it the most.

Of course everyone likes praise......it is human thing!

Re: Karma
 

And while we are on the subject of Karma........I hate being 'really nice'....that is what my Karma says about me.....I just want to be a beacon of light!

Re: Karma
 

Oh i now think the karma was from Laura,,,, thanks Laura

Re: Karma
 

Was John Lennon ever a member on here, or Boy George? They both rabbited on about karma.

Re: Karma
 

Well, heres some negative Karma from me...what da'ya say now?

Drat...the karma button isn't working!

Re: Karma
 

Yes it was me GC I shall leave a message next time I am just getting the hang of it.

Re: Karma
 

who's laura? is that arthurs sister?:confused:
