The enemy within
 

Can we have a mouse over link to the ones who post negative Karma without leaving a name?
These members who have got sufficient points to leave Karma should be identified.

why whats the big deal?:confused:

Re: The enemy within
 

As you can't spend it why bother?

Re: The enemy within
 

WHY?????:confused:

Re: The enemy within
 

I can never remember to who or why I gave it anyway (it's only the good stuff) , a spur of the moment thing , most times I click on it , it says to spread it around .

Re: The enemy within
 

now thats always been my motto, spread it around.:D

Re: The enemy within
 

Hope you ain't gone off on a thread wander here Cashy:p

Re: The enemy within
 

Not sure about a mouse over link, surely something so serious and life threatening should be treated by tagging and curfews :confused:

Re: The enemy within
 

If you help someone on here, most give karma as a gesture of thanks, if you upset people, or wind them up, some give negative karma, thats how it works and is just a hidden way of having a go back, I have had both, but mostly good, and some of them are not signed, the bad is never signed, we all take notice of it, but very few actually worry about it.

Karma floats Roys boat...he likes all the wrangles over it...so I guess he'll be chuckling right now.
Karma.....I give it if I have found something to be funny, or if something has enlightened me, uplifted me, or educated me.......I sign my Karma.......and have only once given negative Karma......it wasn't given because I disagreed with the point of view(I would never deny someone their right to an opinion...as I don't expect anyone to deny ME that right)but was given for the unintelligible way the post was worded.

Re: The enemy within
 

If I was constantly picking up fines for speeding, should I blame the system for vicitimising me or should I look at the way I drive ;)

Re: The enemy within
 

Yep...........another day....clean sheet of paper.....Rum worn off, not forgetting the Diet Coke.....lovely sunny day overlooking the Med.
Good Karma.......:hothothot

Re: The enemy within
 

yeh obviously have not had bad off me then.:D

Re: The enemy within
 

It dont bother me getting bad karma, i like getting green and red boxes:D, i just wish sometimes that they would be ballsy enough to leave thier name:rolleyes:



in the end its only for fun!:D;)

Re: The enemy within
 

Just a question for the mods ....

If a thread gets deleted does the negative karma go with it? I know if it gets deleted the good karma goes ... but seeing as a thread got deleted and id been given negative karma for it why have i still got the negative karma?

Just asking

Re: The enemy within
 

you have answered your own question if a thread is deleted the bad karma is not deleted

Re: The enemy within
 

Re: The enemy within
 

i think the good karma stays too

Re: The enemy within
 

Re: The enemy within
 

I tried to give you some confusing nonsense good karma but I have to spread it. I will try and confuse you as soon as it will let me :D

Re: The enemy within
 

It does. It just says N/A, instead of which thread it was in.:D

Re: The enemy within
 

I;m the same, i dont know why people dont leave names with bad karma, its hardly like i'm going to hunt them down..... well not much

And its funny, karma on here isnt like life or death, but its still bugs me no end when i get negative!!!

Re: The enemy within
 

used to with me way back, now i just laugh n put some comment to bug em more, cos ya can usually sus who it was.:D;)

Re: The enemy within
 

Sadly there are some who take it seriously enough to do that :rolleyes:

Re: The enemy within
 

No I havnt cashy, and wouldnt expect it being as you normally talk sense, and it is usually the ones talking nonsense who dish out the bad karma. hehe.

Re: The enemy within
 

Be quite honest up to a few months ago I hadn't a clue how to give Karma I had to ask Jen when she sent out nasty PMs over the Grand National Sweep, wouldn't even know if somebody as sent be neg Karma anyway:confused:

Re: The enemy within
 

I dont send out nasty pm's ....:D:D:D

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
 

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.

Re: The enemy within
 

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
 

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.

Re: The enemy within
 

My last comment in this thread is that with all the terrible things that are happening in the world, children dying of starvation etc., is that some people must have very empty and sad little lives, if worrying about this silly karma system is all they have to occupy their time.:(

Re: The enemy within
 

What insults are those? The one that asks if you were garinda’s secretary? Or the bit about being a lackey? Not an insult but a description of your perceived relationship with garinda. Now if I had called you a stupid lackey THAT would have been an insult.

In any case it was you who poked your nose in to answer a question asked of garinda.

Oh you forgot disgusting, stupid old goat and oh you work it out for yourself.

My post quoted garinda’s post and was thus addressed to him and it asked him a question. If nothing else common courtesy decrees that if someone is asked a question you at least give them the opportunity of answering before shoving your oar in.

Go and read all the various threads about karma like I have done and you will read much about people being very unhappy with anonymous comments. You jumped in uninvited to answer a question directed at garinda and that’s OK. But it’s not OK if I speak up for people who have stated their displeasure at anonymous comments.

Finally – which hole would that be?

Re: The enemy within
 

Lackey is an insult and you know it. Don't play dumb, an elderly man shouldn't act in such a way, you're supposed to be the wisest of us all.

Goodness you're like a difficult child. If you don't want anyone else to answer a question then send a private message, that's what they are for. Otherwise it's an open forum. Simple.
Everyone knows how the karma system works. If a comment is offensive then report it. Episode over. There's absolutely no need for countless rants on the subject from pseudo-revolutionaries such as yourself.

Re: The enemy within
 

I have reported disgusting anonymous comments in the past and I am still waiting for a response.

I did not use thinly disguised foul language. What I did was quote what someone else had stated.

So seeing as we have children on this forum you will have reported all the swearing that goes on and the odd thinly disguised foul language. I doubt it very much.

Believe me garinda if it was you who owned this forum I would have left long ago.

Re: The enemy within
 

If you perceive lackey to be an insult then I would suggest that you look up the meaning of the word. It means servant. A secretary is a servant and s/he attends to the secretarial needs of the boss. Those needs include answering questions.

By shoving your oar in you put yourself in the position of answering questions directed at someone else.

Thanks for that. I’ve never considered myself wise. Knowledgeable to a degree but never wise.

Re: The enemy within
 

Thanks for saving me the trouble of making it clear that lackey is indeed an insult.

Again - if you didn't want anyone else to answer it you should've sent a private message. You cannot avoid that.

I said that you are supposed to be wise. If indeed wisdom is related to age. Special emphasis on the words supposed to be.

Re: The enemy within
 

Re: The enemy within
 

how many more times are we going to have the same argument? its getting very very tedious now.

NO THE KARMA SYSTEM WILL NOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE IT!!!


get the idea now?

EDIT:my pc is playing up, i didnt see your reply Willow and my post is not aimed at you.......

Re: The enemy within
 

Did you mean?

NO THE KARMA SYSTEM WILL NOT BE CHANGED just BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE IT!!!

Otherwise the Butt might think Roy is getting at him and we don't want that, do we?
:o

Re: The enemy within
 

yeah, cant have the bully being bullied can we?
