Karma rating?

Awakened_Mind · September 26, 2006, 13:23:21

What exactly is this Karma: 0 rating we all have?

interception · September 26, 2006, 14:54:00

It is a nice idea, but the system is flawed. Anybody can create other accounts and give themselves positive karma.

As I see certain individuals have done...

But hey, whatever.

Nay · September 26, 2006, 17:16:01

LOL! I totally agree.. that or their friends can have a hayday..

Awakened_Mind · September 27, 2006, 14:04:24

Does it have any effect or is it just to enhance interaction?

It has no effect - it's simply a bit of fun. Although it would be funny if a member gets -20 karma points, they get an automatic ban!!

I guess some will take it seriously, but that's their prerogative.

Personally, I use it conservatively - if I like what someone has said and it has perhaps made me think, then I might applaud them.

The good thing about it is that it is totally anonymous - the moderators are not privy who gives what to whom - which I think is fair and right.

Of course Adrian the administrator knows everything - but then he's allowed to!!

It would have been more effective if it was limited in some way. Eg. You can only vote for the same person once a week or something like that.

RunLola, it might have looked that way, but I was not refering to you.

I was refering to those who would go from -9 karma to +6 karma in a span of like two days...

Nay · September 27, 2006, 15:31:36

LOL! well then you were talking about her, it only took a couple days for her to get to fifty..

I'm back under again..LOL.. I ticked someone off....and their friends.

interception · September 28, 2006, 02:21:22

... yeah. Funny that. One would think "spiritually awakened/open minded" folks would care a little LESS about what others may think of them.

The system would off course not work at all, if one could give oneself karma points. Can you imagine?

"I think what I just wrote was totally awesome, and therefor I deserve 3 karma points for my amazing insight! Click. Click. Click.

Awakened_Mind · September 28, 2006, 02:50:56

Cheers for the info

Nay · September 28, 2006, 07:31:56

You can't vote for yourself...dang it.

I want to make myself clear so lola, you don't think I'm.."picking" on you.

I mearly found/find it curious that you have way more karma than anyone, even Adrian..LOL.. Now, no offense but I can't really see why your Karma points got so high over a couple days. (yes, I know it happened months ago when the issue of you and me came up for the millionith time) And if you or anyone else hasn't noticed, it's gone up even more since this topic. That was my issue...because of the obvious mis-use of the system. I mean really you have some good advice, but lets look at your advice as a whole, which most consist of media links and on the old PSD forum. I know you had some friends that you made in that forum and yeppers, I made enemies..lol. Ah well.

Just needed to straighten that up. And please don't come back yelling and stomping around, I have not said this to upset or hurt your feelings but mearly express mine. I think it's pretty obvious at this point, where you're getting your points.

Nay · September 28, 2006, 14:18:42

You're absolutely right lola.

EqualThoughts · October 18, 2006, 17:29:54

There are definitely people who I believe deserve more karma (Job & James S), and some who deserve less, but remember, not everyone's opinion is the same. At all.

I'm just glad karma on here doesn't actually affect anything, or there would be TOTAL CHAOS.

Woah · October 18, 2006, 19:55:29

Actually, this karma thing is starting to make me a little angry.. And others..
It creates tension and prevents people from being honest, they're afraid of being 'smited'. I think honest people should be applauded.
I just got smited for saying my opinion against someone who said there's evil aliens everywhere.
I was even joking when I replied.
Grr?
I think it should be removed.

Goober · October 18, 2006, 20:33:30

I think Karma ratings are stupid, so I'm going to smite everyone. Please, smite me back. It doesn't do anything, right?
