Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

Can I have my Karma switched off or at least if people decide to leave me some good/bad I know who they are instead of the cowards who leave negative comments without being brave enough to tell me who they are, If you don't like a post I don't mind constructive criticism (I do really but who cares :) ) but just to leave some cryptic message is a pain in the ass.

100% agree with you Shurm it's getting out of hand. I have had a lot of bad karma aimed at me over past days and people don't even have the guts to put who they are in the stament when giving you bad karma. I am getting bad karma not a lot of the time but recnt which has statements like arrogant and all that well i'm not bothered if the karma is dished out but put who its from ffs.

It's a load of garbage

Once again the subject of karma has arrisen..
Smithy i can assure you that karma is not garbage.. our admin has taken time out to put things like this on the site at his own expense!!!
If you read the notices posted in ALL forums you will see that our asministrator is not able to get online at the moment, and this makes it hard to resolve any problems, i'm sure he has plans for the karma system, and when he finds time between working 7 days a week and trying to spend time with his family, he will do his best to make it better for ALL of us!!

There rant over:)

I didnt mean that the whole system was garbage, what I meant was that people who dont bother to put their name after the message they leave when giving you bad karma is the bad thing.

If you are giving karma out you should have to state your name after the karma's message. This would make it more worthwile.

It's certain people on here that are ruining the karma system by not treating it as its meant to be used.

Just a suggestion

Thank you to the person who has just given me some good karma .................................. Whoever you are ???!!!! :confused: :eek: :)

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

I agree with you, I've recently lost a few points after the Kipax thread and all three lost karma points where anonymous, some people have no b*lls.

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

Roy did mention a system where you can see who's given you or taken karma some time ago, but obviously hasn't had time to do it yet. I think it would be a good idea and am willing to pay a subscription for it. At least if I give bad karma I admit it (only done it once)

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

I couldn't agree more, Shurm. here are my thoughts written two weeks ago, when a thread was becoming rather fractious, and accusations were being traded.

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

Yes smithy jsut like u didnt leave ur name when taking my karma pionts for a post i made just because it wasnt how u feel about it this is a forum to express OUR OWN feelings and i think it is wrong that u critisise people who dont Comlpy with ur point of view

I feel better now thats of my chest but i suppose i should wave bye bye to some more karma points!!!!

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

Wasn't from me........

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

That's the problem with anonymous karma - people assume they know who it's from when they don't and that causes ill feelings. I had someone deduct karma from me with the added comment "here, have some of your own taken and see how you like it" presumably assuming that I had taken some of theirs and merely doing it in retaliation. Nothing to do with the post itself. If anything makes a mockery of the system a childish attitude like that certainly does.

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

i agree i think people should have to leav there name when they give good/bad ones away so you nkow who 2 thank and who 2 not talk 2 and not give any bck

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

That's exactly the point I was making! :(

Deducting (or to use Gobsmacked's word "snaffling") Karma from someone just because they've taken from you or "not giving back" to someone for the same reason is not a valid reason. Karma is supposed to be a reaction to your opinion of the particular point made in a post. It's not supposed to be "you took one off me so I'm taking one off you". That's just silliness. I can disagree with someone on one topic and yet agree with them wholeheartedly on something else. Being able to disagree with a point of view and yet still able to discuss other topics with the same person is hopefully the mature attitude of most of the members of AccyWeb.

Unfortunately there are some who don't seem to be able to act that way which is their loss.

Who was it who said "I may disagree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it"? (or words to that effect) Hopefully we can all learn to develop a more mature attitude to karma and use the points system wisely.

I think we should know who has raided our Karma.
If their name gets added automatically, it would make it a lot easier for me and others to go to their ranch and steal some of theirs, plus I would wait a few days and then go steal some more.


Sometimes you get and sometimes you get got.

Re: Karma............. Up Your Bum
 

Please can someone explain to me about the Karma, how is it given and how is it taken away?
