Re: The enemy within
 

I would support such a move or any move that identifies the person making an award of either type. The Rep Power value (an unfortunate choice of description) means little to me, although some people seem to think that with a high RP they can do what they like with impunity.

Good manners decree that when being given a gift you should thank the giver. You can’t do that if you don’t know who the giver was.

Anonymous and often derogatory or vile comments accompanying a negative award are akin to getting an anonymous poison pen letter in the mail.

There are forum rules about abusing members or posting insulting or nasty posts (not that they seem to be enforced) and a facility to report them.

A comment is to all intents and purposes like a post in the forum except that it is private so we should have a means of identifying the poster.

No reasonable person could object to being able to identify who makes Karma awards and the comments that accompany them.

Re: The enemy within
 

Roy, the owner of this forum, has stated umpteen times that he likes the karma system, just as it is.

I do wish people would just learn to live with it, or if they can't, do one.

Re: The enemy within
 

some people have heard this umpteen times n still do neither.:rolleyes:

Re: The enemy within
 

I’ve been reading several threads on the Karma and the anonymous comments issue and not one single thread contained a post from Roy to say the he likes the Karma system as it is.

I have also skimmed through all 20 pages of Roy’s posts and haven’t found any mention of Roy liking the Karma system as it is. Of course I could have missed it.

Maybe you would be kind enough to guide me to where this pearl of wisdom has been published.

By the way – do one what?

Re: The enemy within
 

Through Mick and Len's posts as Roy can't always post. Simple really.
I would've thought that you had a thick enough skin to let fripperous things such as karma comments go over your head. There are bigger things to worry about.

Re: The enemy within
 

Perhaps we should have a competition, to see which karma comment produdes the biggest tearful tantrum?

:D

Re: The enemy within
 

Why do we need to know every time somebody gets red karma?:confused: Am sure that if abusive comments were reported to the mods they would deal with it. Just don't see any need to keep bringing it onto the site!!!

Re: The enemy within
 

That information has been made public knowledge countless time.

If a karma comment breaks forum rules, report it to a mod, who will deal with it.

That's not enough of a public fuss for some attention seekers.

They like to make a big song and dance about it, and stamp their little feet.

Are you garinda’s secretary?

I ask because my post was in response to garinda’s post and the question was posed to him and he clearly stated, “Roy, the owner of this forum, has stated umpteen times that he likes the karma system, just as it is.” There was nothing about Mick or Len.

I am thick skinned but others are not and my point is not on my behalf but on the behalf of others, who in other threads have complained about the vicious, vile and disgusting anonymous comments received.

Be a good lackey and get your boss to answer my posts would you.

Re: The enemy within
 

As I stated earlier, “No reasonable person could object to being able to identify who makes Karma awards and the comments that accompany them.”

So I reason that those who do, do so because it would queer their pitch.

Re: The enemy within
 

First of all, I thought you never started dishing out insults? That you only responded when others insulted you? You bleat on about it often enough. So - I'm working off your theory now - seeing as you started the insults I can retort in a like manner. Your post has showed that you are a rude, vile, petulant being.

Secondly, you didn't send a PM to garinda asking him alone where he got his information, you posted the question on an open forum and therefore put the question out to everyone reading the thread.

Finally, who do you think you are to presume that others cannot defend themselves against karma comments? Are you the caped crusader of AccyWeb? I think not.
Crawl back in your hole.

Re: The enemy within
 

I've sympathised when you felt you had to share some of the karma comments with the rest of the forum.

I, and others, have told you to report them to the moderators, if those comments are offensive, and they will be dealt with.

Sadly you lost all credibility, and certainly any respect, when you decided to post on a family forum, what is to all extent and purposes a private message, the most obscene, especially to women, four letter word, albeit with a space between the middle letters.

That was a disgrace, when we have children as active members on this forum.

I would have deducted karma, signed, for that, but sadly was unable to, because I'd recently given you some karma for your garden thread.

Luckliy for you it is Roy, and not myself, who owns this site, because for posting that disgusting four letter word you would have been banned for life.:(

Re: The enemy within
 

Strangely I can't remember any teary posts about unsigned karma when I gave that.

Perhaps it's only the negative stuff that illicits tantrums?

Happily when I get the red stuff I'm savvy enough not to make a big fuss about it publicly, which I suspect is what the person who gave it would love to see, but some people are just too dim to understand that concept.
