Power - Karma
 

I was wondering, how do you get your power up, so you can give more than 1 karma point out???

Re: Power - Karma
 

There are three different scenarios that increase your power, each time you reach each step you gain 1 extra point of power:

• Membership for greater than 180 days
• Greater than 1000 posts
• Greater than 50 karma

So, if you had 3001 posts(3), 150 karma(3) and were a member for 1 year(2) you would have a total of 8 power.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oh i get it now, id better get posting and being nice to people then eh!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Sorry another question. If someone, lets say with a karma power of 5, deducts karma from a member do they deduct just 1 point or 5 points?

Re: Power - Karma
 

Re: Power - Karma
 

Im on 49 Karma, just one more point off having extra power. Surely someone could give me the extra point for me to test having 2 power ;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

I would if I could chuck but it won't let me yet I've to spread it around!

I could do with some karma I just lost 2 points for trying to steal off Slinky I didn't mean too I pressed the wrong button honestly :D pmsl eh this new system lol!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Re: Power - Karma
 

You've got 6 power Willow!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Maybe while you where deducting points someone else was giving the person some at the same time, just a thought.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Look at willow with all the power, you dont want to get him mad or ul find all ur karma will be going ;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oopps Cafu you might have just upset Willow!! HIM is a HER :D lol!!

Re: Power - Karma

Re: Power - Karma

Re: Power - Karma
 

Hi Steph

I hope this helps you.
I shall point you to another thread which explains what Karma is, as for Power it is explained in #2 post in this thread.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Can I just say thank you, that helped a lot

Re: Power - Karma
 

can anyone tell me when I can start deciding how much karma to give as it doesn't give me the option it just lets me give or take away not by how much!!! I feel awful when someone gives me like 8 karma but when I give some it only gives 2. I have quite a few posts under my belt so not quite sure what else I can do????

Re: Power - Karma
 

Don’t worry about it Harwood, Keep posting and you’ll catch up soon enough…..If you look at you little box you will seen Karma and Power, the first is self explanatory, the Power is what you can give or take away……..The more Threads you create and posts you maker the higher your power goes. You will also get more power as you Karma increases “I think” I stand to be corrected by those that know better, but if it helps……….

Re: Power - Karma
 

well I can't do anything about how long I've been on here, ,but I suppose I can post more and be extra nice to try to earn karma off the wonderful people on here, in other words...................


nice people please give me some karma so that in return I can give more karma out!!!! :)

Re: Power - Karma
 

As Doug say, just keep posting and the power will increase.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Sorry to drag this up again but what does it mean when karma that's been given to you has a blue box next to it instead of green?

Re: Power - Karma
 

isnt that when they didnt have any karma to give? you have to reach a certain amount before you can give karma?? I may be wrong tho

Re: Power - Karma
 

Re: Power - Karma
 

looks like its same as lager red, you never have enough.:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

crikey that you have quoted of mine was from over 2 years ago!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

You've got to admit Red cashy is quick on the uptake:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

yeh well i only just started speaking to ya.:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

There is so much to learn about how this forum thing operates that it makes me so mad that I want to swear and I will be penalised if I do and then I will be banned and then I will have to pretend I am someone else and then I am lying and I don't like liars so that will make me even madder and want to swear more but that means I will be penalised even more which will make me swear even more and then I will be hated even more and like everyone else I just want to be liked by the entire membership and ................... ooh, I have just received some Karma, not a clue what it is but let's do a google
That doesn't make sense, why would someone send me a mild curry

I want a strong curry because mild curry makes me so mad that I want to swear at the next person who rings me trying to sell me double glazing or a holiday or .................. wait a minute - I spy with my little eye - something beginning with 'T'

Ahh typo!
Not 'Korma' you grett nit wit, 'Karma'

isn't google great!

I am calm now and I think that Karma is something good so that makes me even calmer and I am feeling sleepy so this forum stuff will have to wait till tomorrow when I can concentrate.

Re: Power - Karma
 

when john lennon recorded " Instant Karma"s gonna get you, don't think he meant a kisser full of mild curry.:D:D:D:D;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

I cringe when old threads about karma are resurrected. You just know somebody who shall remain nameless is going to bore us all to death with his long winded repititious take on the issue :(

Re: Power - Karma
 

Stop baiting Lancsdave .. you know the thoughts he has on fishing .. you a bad lad ... :whack:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I've got 2, yes two bad Karma points, got picked on for having a go at someone almost godlike!!! Serves me right if I have nothing but bad luck for the rest of my short life. Please post good or bad karma, make the end quick!!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

That was just a slap on the wrist - stay around - just don't insult those who have gained respect, and you'll be fine :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

well now you have drawn attention to it people will probably go back and see why the karma was taken and its possible you will lose more ..

Re: Power - Karma
 

A cross I have to carry!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Nah - more like a matchstick :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

It's Ok for you MargaretR, your beyond repute, me, I'm infamous around these parts???? I should be locktup!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Who did you upset?

Re: Power - Karma
 

Could be worse i asked for bad karma and got it as requested. :D Dont worry about it there are ups and downs on this site like life. Just take the rough with the smooth or if inclined a shot of Bells n a shot of Dalwhinnie. :cool:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I get bad karma too - we all do.
It doesn't hurt you, and since I am one of the people who gave you bad karma, and openly said so, I will now give you good karma because you have shown remorse ---- feel better now?:D

PS just tried but it says I will have to wait - rules are rules :D
PPS Ooh look you have lost one red square already

Re: Power - Karma
 

If I told you I would get chased through the streets of Accy next time I visit!!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oh no you upset the musketeers then? :eek: Better get the body armour out then. :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

No - It was - Retlaw

Re: Power - Karma
 

Better get a few body guards as well then. :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

And now you have Lancsdave cringing again!! You are a bad un! :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Run away, run away, the skies falling!!!!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

But don't spill the Bells!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Cringed as expected :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Having a moan about a karma loss, with people giving you sympathy karma in return, only works once.;)

After that people get bored, and take more off for luck.:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Even better don't insult people, unless its funny :rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

The Legend that is Retlaw, Margaret if you please:D:rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

did you know that you get thanked for taking karma away ... i didnt know that .... mind you shows that i hardly take karma away ..:D:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

lol i noticed that today Jen, i thought it was funny

Re: Power - Karma
 

so did i .. especially as i think we took it off the same person ...:D:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

And who is meant to be the child?... Unnecessary comment in my opinion. I was of the understanding that "giving or removing" karma, was something not to be discussed, you just do it because of your own beliefs. It's rather childish to say the above, when most people on here know exactly what your talking about and will have probably done the same. Cut the girl some slack.

The offer of debate is what a local public forum should be all about, not to be put down by a group of people, who seem hell bent on turning everything posted into something negative.

Re: Power - Karma
 

you tell em odders!..the "big guns" on here got all the karma simply by talking bolloxs over a longer period! :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Be careful people might start thinking you are Jam Butty using a different name, you're not are you?;):)

Re: Power - Karma
 

yeah ..you sussed me out and it's time to reveal my true self

Re: Power - Karma
 

He's better looking than I thought :D

So I now know what thought did don't I! It thought wrong ;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

don't get carried away.. that's Bagpuss passport photo!

Re: Power - Karma
 

and here's me thinking he was pink n fluffy! :rolleyes:

Your gonna have to stop ruining my imagination! :p

So much for my good night :D lol

Re: Power - Karma
 

If you feel that the posts made, were inappropriate, then there is a facility to report those posts.
The moderators will then decide if the posts that you reported were unfair/inappropriate/contravened the rules, and then they will be deleted.

Re: Power - Karma
 

the only "BIG GUNS" are attached to my shoulders...as Tim Lovejoy would say,

as for the bolloxs, your pretty good at talking it, as I have read over the last couple of days...

Re: Power - Karma
 

Ha Ha Ha, got you sussed already mancie:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

If you want me to be pink and fluffy then so be it.;):rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Using the "REPORT" feature is the last call, other than reporting spam. It is a public forum and people should be able to voice their opinions. I have NO reason to report any post's as yet, I just think some things are best kept in your head than in a public forum.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Well if ya don't mind..... I like pink n fluffy! :D :p

Re: Power - Karma
 

sorry it took so long to reply to this odders .... first i was eating my tea, next making a brew, then bringing my washing in and then texting some people and talking to someone on msn.... i know im a woman and i can multitask but when you trying to do all the lot at the same time .. something has to wait ...

so heres my reply ... child ... you have to be 13 to be a member on here ...so there are no children on here. giving karma or taking it away is not to be discussed ... well if you have a nosy round the forum you will find plenty of posts on here saying i'll give you karma for that .. or i cant give you karma but i will do ... iou's flying round aplenty .. Did i say who i deducted karma from? No I could have took it from spuggie or mancie or bagpuss or accylass ... Did flashy say who she took it from? No ... So tell me .. who did i take it from? Second .. who shall i cut some slack .. accylass .. well she dont drink brews ... :D

the offer of debate on a public forum .. yes it is public .. yes it can be a debate .. i dont turn everything into negative ... some i turn into positive.

If you had posted more often on here and you had seen some of my posts then maybe you could take me to task .. but with 29 posts ..... i dont think so ... as you havent been a member here for so long ... why dont you reserve judgement .. until you get to know them ..

Re: Power - Karma
 

Be thankful ya'll never have to make me one! ;) :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I like when you get wound up Jen :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Why do you dribble it down your chin or something :rolleyes::D

Re: Power - Karma
 

thank you neil ..... :D:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Nah... just squirt it out my mouth... at the person who made it me ;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Tim Lovejoy? did he do you up the ass?..I do talk bollox and I will have a good time ****in you up my son!

Re: Power - Karma
 

You are most welcome :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Lol!! :D

Nearly spat my wine everywhere!!

That woulda been wasteful :rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I hope we are taking about coffee still :confused:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Well I was... you can let ya mind wander all ya want :)

Re: Power - Karma
 

No thanks, not if you let it squirt out your mouth :p

Re: Power - Karma
 

It was spit... not dribble :p

Re: Power - Karma
 

Yes, you are right, there are some things best kept in your head......some people will not be of the same opinion, feeling that it is best to 'tell it like it is'.
Everyone monitors their own behaviour. Some just do it better than others. (and I am referring to no-one in particular here).

Re: Power - Karma
 

oooohhhhhhhh well between threats of violence and look how many post's you got to me, all I can say is...your a very sad bunch of people. I will no longer be contributing to this thread, but I wont be going away. Nor will I be reporting the threat of violence, cause it is only an internet forum after all. But people are entitled to their own opinions, again YOU LOT show your true colours, and shoot down anyone who dare say anything against the consensus.

goodnight all.

Re: Power - Karma
 

so what is my true colours then?

i dont shoot down people .. first of all i dont have a gun second even if you'd seen me shoot a gun then you'd know the safest place is to stand in front of the target .. its anywhere else that you'd be running for your life!!!! who says for you to go away ... theres only two persons who can say that .. .and thats the owner of the website or yourself .. you can be banned for awhile by the mods but thats your own lookout ..

so whats my true colours?

Re: Power - Karma
 

It is a forum open to the public, as long as we abide by the rules laid down by the owner.

The same owner who's said on more than one occasion that karma is meant to be a bit of fun, and that he enjoys people's reactions to it.

Well, he's said it when people have started bleating about it in the past.

:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Is 'consensus' the same as Mafia?

Perhaps I might have better luck joining the Accy Web Consensus, because I keep getting my application turned down for the Mafia.

Re: Power - Karma
 

This place is becoming odder and odders.

Re: Power - Karma
 

HAHAHAHA mmmmm this has made me giggle no end, perfect end to a perfect night :D:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Even odder, someone, no names, was defending one of our more immature members, no names again, when she was mouthing off, oop....mean posting, that it was perfectly acceptable to dress up as Madeline McCann at a student party.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...r-44877-3.html

Very gallant.

Deserves karma, that does.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Odders, you talk about childish behaviour, and then you exhibit that behaviour by lumping all of the Accyweb members into one category 'YOU LOT' and name calling (a very sad bunch of people).
And yes, people are entitled to their own opinions, and most of us are independent minded enough to form our own opinions...we don't have to go with the concensus of opinion we make our own. No-one shoots anyone down, we just exercise our right to voice an opinion...if that is different from the one which you hold...then get over it.
As you say it is only and internet forum, not real life.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Because this has been brought to my attention I think I should probably say something.

I don't know who odders is, so he isn't posting at my request to defend me or anything like that. To be honest, I've heard some disgusting things about this forum recently, things which have made a very popular and well loved member not post on here any more.

I am quite happy for you all to criticise me, I expect it. But what I don't like to hear is that people are being offended for no good reason. If that is acceptable behaviour to you, and it is clear that it is for most of you, then I think you should perhaps question your own values and statements before you criticise others.

Re: Power - Karma
 

I think you should look a bit closer to home to place the blame for offending people. You seem to manage it in nearly every post you make. So maybe you should be questioning your own values instead of preaching to everybody else.

Re: Power - Karma
 

I haven't made any long term members of this forum leave though, and I didn't do it through my own ignorance and fecklessness.

I come on here to wind people up intentionally, I don't always say what I honestly believe, but some people were ignorant enough to really upset someone and probably aren't even aware of how offensive they actually are.

Accrington is a bit of a joke, how can you expect me to take it seriously?

Re: Power - Karma
 

Can't remember reading any mournful threads about a ' very popular and well loved member' not posting anymore.

Care to name them?

Then everyone could say a collective apology, and beg them to come back.

Personally I feel a lot of valued members left when this forum was it was hijacked/taken over the other summer by the Jerry Springer Show. Especially the endless parent/child reunion thread, which corect me if I'm wrong contained many threats of violence.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Blazey, what you do is come on here to offend people......you may call it something else, but believe me that is what you do......and what is more you are proud of it.....proud enough to state that that is what you intend to do.
It seems that all of us on here are out of step except you.
You have heard bad things about Accyweb have you? and you believe everything you hear?

And while you may not have made any long term members leave Accyweb(as if that is something to be proud of) you have made enough barbed comments to wound quite a few.
And as for not knowing Odders......who said you did know him?
(methinks the lady doth protest too much)

Re: Power - Karma
 

I think the long term member Blazey is refering to is Willow (I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm wrong). As for admitting that she comes on here just to "wind people up" I think that says a lot about her mentality. I would feel very sad if I thought that winding people up was a way of relieving my boredom. What a sad thing to admit about yourself!!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

I don't think the 'long term member' that Blazey is talking about is Willow - she used 'he' and Willow is not a he.

I think she's refering to a member who studies politics and who was made a moderator then decided to use his new found power to edit some posts that people thought he shouldn't have edited. This caused a big argument and I don't think he's posted since. ;) :D

Re: Power - Karma
 

He also had access to PMs;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

If you're right, he was much loved, because his mummy loved him.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oh, yes he was much loved - Blazey said so.
