Yes, I would like to talk today about that evergreen subject Karma, It does seem a while since any-one made enquiries about what it's about.
The pro's and cons of it have been talked to death in a variety of threads and while I have an idle moment I would like to give my two pennorth.

If you notice (at the moment), I have quite a large amount of karma, (no I don't know why either), however perhaps this post will go someway to relieving me of this awesome burden.

I can hear the stunned silence now, a high karma is a burden you are now asking yourself. Yes it is, is the reply.

Have you any idea what it's like for those of us that come on regularly and have to watch our P's & Q's just to be able to keep our levels up so high?

We suffer! There are times when we have to be polite to people we disagree with just in the hopes of gaining that little bit more.

Even if our standards slip and we do throw in the odd insult just to break the monotony what happens? People that you don't expect dash to the thread and further up the karma trail you go thanks to comments such as,
Yeah, you tell em I never did like him/her/it anyway!

You might find this hard to believe but very occasionally someone will come on site and disagree with what I have said and physically attack my karma, at last I think the message is getting accross then what happens? Another two people come on and give me even more karma so frustrating!

Well here is point one of why I started this thread:-

From now on no more Mr. Nice guy!
If I don't like what's been said I will say so.

Point two is this:-

We get alot of new members on and by the looks of it no matter what they do they haven't much chance of catching up with the rest of us, so how about once a year everybodys karma is cleared back to zero so that we can start again from a level playing field?

I suggest that April the first would be the ideal because this just happens to be Wingys Birthday, so we could perhaps at the same time Have a day to commemorate the birth of one of accywebs longest serving members.

Any suggestions as to what we could call this day can be posted below.
