Just confused - what is the point of the Karma rating - I must be dense, because I just don't get it! Thanks, hope I didn't waste too much of your time!

Don't worry, i have gone down. It's nothing more than kinda sucking up it seems to gain brownie points. I don't even look anymore. Agree, agree, agree and it seems your pionts will go up. Don't agree, they will smite you i bet.
No big deal. Jealousy will also keep you low, we have too many who can smite you just because they don't like your look. Yep...i had a message about that. And no i don't think i am all that. Funny.
I love taking pictures, plain and simple. So, keep taking me down baby!

I totally agree on that (hey will that get me a karma point) I've noticed that when people are in disagreeance, your points go down.Originally Posted by Pamela link=board=1;threadid=5334;start=msg57401#msg57401 date=1071934831
It also seems like it's based on popularity. Trust me, there are more than a few people who give mediocre responses and have a zillion karma points! I dont even care anymore. These karma points have only been here for a little over a week, and they are already tired. It's funny how people can dislike you to the point that they want to take points off.
Oh well...Hmm I wonder If I'm gonna get Karma Points taken off for this comment??:
Some Douchebag: "[Pimp C] 12:43 am: its true we got to stick together the black people on SW CK you is teh condoleeza of SW"
Well CK if you look at me, i just lost one!!!!! Lol. I agree they are tired already, and it means nothing. Now at work.....I want POINTS!!!

I know that's right!! Leave the brown nosing for work lol![]()

It would be cool if a PM was generated to the smitted person everytime a smite was issued. At least you could know who is pissed at you LOL
Karma doesn't really concern me at all. I still post what's on my mind!
Hey how come I only have 9 points?![]()

Chuck you have to "brown nose" and get REAL popular. LOl. Don't dsagree, and be very nice. Maybe ask for some karma!I have been on the board too long to not speak my mind.
Take note: Everytime someone comes along with a message that uproars the board, they lose points. Or even your sex apppeal Chuck! Lol.
Get your head out of the ground! How do you know you have 9 ?

That was fun, but I've already been smote at least once, and with my low karma I could easily see myself getting a negative karma rating with a single unpopular post. The reverse is also true. I'd like to see a more complicated ratings algorithm that might prevent users from hitting the extremes that easily. There's also the potential that members (particularly newer members) might self-censor themselves a bit, since an initial smiting could keep a member in the negatives for a long time.

Heck, I've only had a handful of posts and I'm at -2 at last count. Of course, I know that one of my character defects is that I come across a bit arrogant at times. So, maybe watching the karma rating will help me rein that in a bit. In any case, I know there will always be people who like me and/or my views and others who don't. I gave up on trying to please everyone all the time a long time ago.
I am starting to come to the opinion that smites should reduce the karma of both the smiter and the smitee (or is that smiteee). Some a=holes I would not mind losing a point over.![]()



Yeah, I figured that one might cost me, and had considered not putting it in there and then said "In for a penny, in for a pound." Well, what's done is done. And somebody loves me...I'm back to -1.![]()
Hmmm.. I'm not sure about my karma here, but I just (accidently) coughed a flu-laden-loogy on my old man's keyboard while reading this post.![]()

oops...
Is that bad COSMIC karma??
