Negative Karma

Whats with all the negative Karma? Its odd to see some of the most repsected members on the board and even some of the most respected members in various breeding communities with negative Karma. You might as well remove it as its way out of hand.

Some people just don't appreciate good advice from knowledgable people if it's not what they want to hear...

I agree that it should be removed.

Who cares? Its meaningless.

As usual, you're right Mr. Doyle.

People are jealous of others. Those who have respect, and those who are listened to by newbies do not worry about Karma. I haven't looked at my Karma, and so I don't let it bother me.

lol, yeah pretty much karma is an honor system which really isnt abided what if someone just doesnt like you and just clicks the - button when ever he get that chance

im still not sure about the flakes thing will some one actually clarify it to me? so its the amount of stuff in your posts that determines this or something else? like amount of topics looked over? i just think this is silly as well [schild=4 fontcolor=C0C0C0 shadowcolor=FF0000 shieldshadow=1]Sigh[/schild]

exactly, no one will take it too seriously. then again i dont have any negatives.

aquariumfishguy · 01-24-2005, 04:53 PM

Oooooh no. But you know, its been known that once someone says that, someone almost always gives that person a negative karma (it has happened to me).

LMAO

Yea, it's meaningless and the fact that anybody can give or take it is unfair. Should be removed.

To me, the Karma thing isn't bad in itself, it may just be the way it is

a) named

and

b) tallied.

We have a similar gimmik enabled in our chapter's forum, there by default it is called "Reputation" and any positive or negative votes are reflected in percentages. However, I can only increase/decrease the reputation of another member ONCE.

Example: I give a "+" vote to Simpte because I believe he always gives solid advice. Now, if he suddenly goes on a binge-drinking spree and starts giving nothing bogus info, I can change my mind and void my vote with a "-". (Once he signs up with AA and is back to his old self, I can vote "+" again.

) I cannot however, give him multiple positve/negative votes. To me that makes the system a bit more 'fair" and accrdingly to a members overall reputation.

Maybe Mark can tweak this one here to fit along those lines? ... Just food for thought though.
