Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum

As for paying for the changes - this is where you can get problems because you can't force people to pay.
This system would make it so that if you paid, you would get to see who gave you karma, if you didn`t pay then things remain the same. So it`s kind of like a pay for more features thing, which I don`t really like the idea of...

One thing which I found the members definitely didn't like was discovering that things they believed to be anonymous turned out not to be. For instance someone said that post reporting was anonymous but it isn't. The "staff" know who reports a post even if the original poster doesn't. That isn't anonimity.
Well we have never (as far as I know) claimed that anything was totally anonymous. Reporting the post creates emails to all moderators + makes an automatic post in the moderators forum which displays the user who has reported it. So it isn`t anonymous at all.

Out of interest are you the only one who can read who gave karma Roy or have the moderators got the same access ? As I'm constantly being told by one of the mods I don't know the whole story of what goes on behind the scenes, what I would like to know is do they?
There is only me that has access to the karma comments, nobody else has ever seen them or has access to them.

Do you also read private PMs and do the moderators have access to them.
No I do not read private PMīs. There is no `simple`way of reading pm`s built into the software, although a mod for the software has been released it has not been installed here. I could access the database directly, but I feel no need to go through peoples private messages. The moderators also have no way of reading other peoples messages.

If the karma system is so much fun why not put it to some sort of vote and see what feedback you get.
As I mentioned above, it`s fun for me! A vote would surely be far to democratic for this board!
