Re: Power - Karma
 

Under all the threads you are subscribed to(in your profile) there will be a notification with the date, the post the Karma was received for....and if you are lucky a comment that is signed by the sender.
I always sign my Karma......I rarely give the red stuff.........four times in the almost 7 years I have been a member.
Hope this helps.

Re: Power - Karma
 

I was not aware of karma until I read this. Some cheeky anonymous comments gave me a chuckle!

Re: Power - Karma
 

if it was red then it was probably from me

Re: Power - Karma
 

It was a bright, fiery red!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Surely people don't give anonymous red karma do they:confused::confused::confused::D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Why shouldn't they?

The adventure is in trying to work out who gave it to you, are you clever enough? Or do you just pick on the obvious suspect?
I've been given tons of red from folk that thought I'd given them red, when I've been perfectly innocent, Oh it's so much better than the green when that happens, it usually proves they are the D.H. I thought they were without me doing anything and without me having put the effort into actually attacking them.

Meanwhile, why is it?





Now this is an important question.






Why is it that people have screaming ab-dabs if they get anonymous red, but don't start threads claiming it isn't fair when they get anonymous green?

I never sign either, I hardly ever give any of either, but when I do it's because it's deserved.

So, to the greens, well done.

To the reds, suffer it and shut up, take an example from the greens, they never complain.
:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

I know that Karma means nothing......absolutely nothing. But, I hate to get unsigned Karma...it doesn't matter if it is red or green. I try to thank people for giving Karma...and unsigned stuff means the I can't thank them.
I don't give unsigned.......and I rarely give the red stuff......and certainly not because someone has a different point of view to mine. I have given it for an unreadable post and for a post that was rude(discourteous).

Re: Power - Karma
 

That is your choice, I choose not to sign it I don't want thanks or Hate mail.

Nothing worse than giving some green, the person I gave it to then thinks I must return it, then I think, Ooh, more green, must give karma out so I can give my friend green.

I prefere to give the colour a person deserves when they deserve it, without gathering a list of friends (upset or otherwise) going hell for leather tit for tat.
Let's face it, I can hardly be accused of hiding behind karma, I usually give folk an idea what I think and most of the time they reciprocate.

So who needs to sign it? Only wimps.:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I must be a wimp then Less...and because someone has given me Karma...I do not feel the need to reciprocate. I give Karma for posts that I consider to be good...even if I don't always agree with the point of view expressed.

Anyway, that solid green line under your name with an admirable reputation says that you must be doing something right.

Re: Power - Karma
 

I always try to thank some one who gives me Karma but its rare the red is ever signed, which is pointless really

Re: Power - Karma
 

No it isn't pointless not to sign, that is a choice we all have, what is pointless is getting upset about the red stuff.
:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Yes, I agree it is pointless getting upset about the red stuff....but if I give the red stuff I want the person to know that I have the courage of my convictions to sign it....and if they want to retaliate by conferring some of the red stuff onto me...then that tells me a lot about them.

Re: Power - Karma
 

At the risk of seeming a bit thick -how do you actually give people Karma -I can't seem to work it out? I have received it twice which was a nice surprise but I didn't actually know what it meant...

Re: Power - Karma
 

On the left hand side of each post(under your name and avatar) there are three icons..... A circle which is green if you are online...grey if you aren't. A Pair of scales....if you click on this it will give you the option of giving good Karma(green stuff)....or not so good Karma(red stuff).
The exclamation mark in a warning triangle is to report posts which you feel are inappropriate or infringe the rules of the forum(Swearing jumps to mind as an example of what I mean).

I hope this helps.

Re: Power - Karma
 

At the bottom of each post are three little icons.

The middle one is scales.

Click on that, to give or take karma.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Got it!! thanks to you both....:hothothot

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oops -think i could become addicted to the giving out of Karma!:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Junkie.:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Good.

That makes me feel all 'warm' inside. x

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Steady on young lady.

There are all sorts of karma rules. Such as how much you can give out in a day, how many other people you must give some to, before you're able to give it to the same person again.

I can never work it out.

:rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Its not about having the courage to sign it, who cares if they know its you. Its about annoying them even more by not signing it. People get all stressed about getting red and not signing it annoys them more.

How many times have you seen someone moan because they got red and it was not signed.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Glad to hear it, have some more;):hothothot

Re: Power - Karma
 

Hmmm -I see what you mean -I don't really like the idea of "spreading it around" I'm not that kind of lady!

Re: Power - Karma
 

I care that people know that it was me who gave them Karma.....and it really isn't about annoying someone. That is probably why I have given out so little of the red stuff.
Yes....I think I once fell into the trap of moaning about having been some negative stuff without it being signed.(this was because I knew who had done it and felt it was unwarranted - the person thought I had given them some unsigned red stuff...which I hadn't, and was playing tit for tat. I don't believe that is the spirit of Karma).

Re: Power - Karma
 

This is to the kind person who gave me unsigned Karma....'just to bug me'........Many thanks :)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Your welcome :rolleyes::D

Re: Power - Karma
 

So what is 'Rep Power' ? And are all the green squares after it the karma you've collected?

'A reputation beyond repute' could be taken more than one way.

Re: Power - Karma
 

And what do the green squares immediately under your name signify? Confused of Greatly Harwood.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Thanks Neil!
For Gordon and Micheal.....
The green bar is your Reputation.......it never goes more than 11 little squares. You accrue rep points by getting Karma and also for the length of time you have been a member.......I think I have got that right...if not, there will be someone along soon to correct me.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Its just rep power, which builds up with the number of posts you make and and the green Karma you receive, if somebody gives you red Karma it deducted from your power, oh thanks Less

Re: Power - Karma
 

Huh?:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Ummmm:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

No idea why you mentioned me in that post, please feel free to inform.
:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

As green squares increased they were converted to 'cowpats' (gold stars), but they disappeared at an upgrade - so the green squares no longer reflect karma status.

Re: Power - Karma
 

You appear to tick me off for refaring to unsigned Karma, then I got a little red blob Less, just thought you were having a laurgh cuz it wasn't signed:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

It wasn't me, I'm not the only person that doesn't sign karma.

But not to worry if you got it, someone obviously thought you deserved it for whinging.
:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

The thing is I don't whinge, well certainly not about that, may have done at one time but unsigned Red Karma is like anonymous letters to the press useless

Re: Power - Karma
 

Perhaps you do?

Just a shame you had to jump to a conclusion but didn't have the wherewithal to resist your temptation to whinge about the wrong person.:D

Obviously it isn't as useless as you claim, whoever gave it you, got a reaction from you. (Remind me never to go on a murder mystery weekend with you on my team).

Re: Power - Karma
 

So basically karma means diddly squat.

Don't lose sleep over it.

I've lost more than I've ever been given.

Which I see as a sign that I'm doing something right.

Karma.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Another thing to note about karma.

The first time someone takes some karma off you, you're supposed to get all huffy, and start a thread moaning about how outrageous this is.

Everyone, being basically kind, gives you lots of comfort karma in return.

This only happens the first time someone starts blubbing about loss of karma though.

;):D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Well everybody would know you were guilty before we started:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Um never thought of that:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I am glad you put the smiley face on because I think thats exactly why you mentioned it. Did it work :rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I didn't mention it, was discussing it;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

You did not answer my question, then again I have been known to ask questions I know the answer to :p

Re: Power - Karma
 

Its been noticed, more so since you became a mod:D:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

My rep power is pathetic compared to all of you lot!! hahaaaaa :p
Gimmie gimmie gimmie!!:dflam:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Have done:mosher::D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Being fairly new to this site I have no idea how the system of Karma works. However I now find I have been deducted 625 points plus received a message from person or persons unkown thatI would love to reply to. Can anyone enlighten me?

Re: Power - Karma
 

It confuses me as well. I've only ever once known who's given me karma, the rest of the time it just appears. You must have done something real bad to have been deducted all those points, haha! I only give good karma and some is on the way to you to redress the balance...I am the Karma Fairy!!!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Hi Susie, I'm afraid you can't reply, unless negative karma is signed which it rarely is.

Just ignore it. I can't imagine as to why someone did it, you being new, and to my knowlegde never having posted anything controversial. Who knows, or cares?

Just ignore it, is the best way.

There's a limit of two lots of karma you can give per day...as far as I can work out.

Tomorrow I'll give you some. I've already decided I was going to give someone else some tomorrow, for what I thought was a very good post, so now you've bankrupted me!

:D

Honestly, don't fret about it.

The first time it happens, always puzzles us all.

If I don't lose it regularly I know I must be ill, and not quite myself.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Not that kind of Fairy!

Re: Power - Karma
 

Just read through your recent posts.

Mentioning the word 'nutter' in what some might consider a conspiracy theory thread, is fatal.

There's your answer.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

That's not what made me laugh.

Re: Power - Karma
 

:signntme:
..despite saying 'nutters' in a conspiracy thread:confused:
I thought I was just imparting useful info

Re: Power - Karma
 

The longer you are here, the easier it is to work out who gave you unsigned karma.

The amount given/deducted relates to a member's reputation power.

I always know how to work out who gave me some, plus there's another fail safe way of finding out.

;):D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Garinda, Steve, thanks for the replies. Steve you'd better read my last few posts tonight then you'll be as clued up as Garinda as to what I've done (thanks g for the solution to the mystery).

My real gtipe is that I objected to some of the words in the anonymous message and I don't think it's fair that I can't respond. Otherwise as you say, stuff 'em.

Thanks again

Sue

Re: Power - Karma
 

Nutter about covers it though most of the time:D:hidewall:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Sorry, not saying it was anyone.

Just intrigued, seeing as I hadn't read any controversial posts made by the questioner.

Looking through her recent posts, saw she's posted the word nutter, and a wild guess might reveal this is why she probably lost karma today.

I didn't click on her post, so have no idea of the context.

I'll go and rectify that now, by having a litttle shufty.

Nice change, unless Europe's seeped in there too.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I recall getting a load of grief when I said 'not full shilling' instead of 'learning difficulties'

Re: Power - Karma
 

when someone takes karma away the should have to sign it, then they may think twice before doing it. Its like stalking, they take points away and leave snotty comments. so should have the cajones to identify themselves.

My last deduction just said "laughing on the other side of your face" havent a clue what it was for or what it means, but have no easy way to find out. So nothing constructive came out of it

Re: Power - Karma
 

Seriously, if it's just rude, ignore it.

However, if a karma message contains swear words, or is obscene, that breaks forum rules.

Report it to a moderator. Their names appear in heavy black type, at the bottom of the homepage.

They can read karma messages, if they're reported, and they'll deal with the issue promptly, and efficently.

Re: Power - Karma
 

People have moaned about karma being unfair, ever since Accy Web was founded.

However, Roy, the owner of the site enjoys the mischief it creates, so it's just a matter of accepting it as a fact of life here.

Like nits.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

The nasty stuff I just laugh at.

If I happen to see it, before it's knocked off the chart.

Some seem like anonymous, shy, pm's, and seem to want to know something, and to be soliciting for an answer, but of course you can't reply. They're frustrating.

Like a cry for help, which you can't respond to.

Re: Power - Karma
 

just take notice of me signature.;):D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Actually being a rational scientist I didn't think of it as a conspiracy theory thread. Perhaps that's my problem.

Re: Power - Karma
 

I am glad you mentioned it. I have been wondering for sometime what the initials stand for.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Margaret, I'm giving no one grief.

I haven't even read the thread...yet.

Without clicking on the full post to read it, checking this member's recent posts, l saw she'd posted the word nutter, and guessed this mignt be a reason as to why she's lost karma, when l'd presumed she hadn't posted much to offend on here previously, that l'd seen.

I'll go and read the thread now.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Didn't say you did..actually.

As being a rationalist, and a diplomat, I posted 'some might' consider it a conspiracy theory thread.

;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

ignore it,i frequently get grief,just don't give a toss, just say in me own way what i think,end of.:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Very well put Dave, totally agree. And the message did not contain obscenities or swearwords or anything that needed to be referred to a moderator. It merely referred to Two elderly ladies having a go at each other like a couple of school girls in the playground... which I don't really think sums up Margaret and myself. Age is relative and I think both of us have young enough minds to avoid that tag. I would have liked to make that point to the message writer.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Apologies, of course that's what you said. Got to be very careful now what I say.:)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Feisty, opinionated, bit mouthy, could be seen by some as a tad condescending, misjudged vocabulary?

Could be anything Susie.

I'm flummoxed.

Welcome to Accy Web.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Is that all? - you should see the little lads on here at times.
Water pistols behind the bike sheds at dawn is a regular occurance

Re: Power - Karma
 

Thing is wi karma, quite a few relatively new members say it should be signed,get used to it cos its never gonna happen,:D beats me why people give a stuff about it? yeh can't spend it in shops,has no value at all, apart from winding a few up.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Oh, not with me.

I'm very forgiving.

Give, give, give.

That's me.

Whoops, sorry. That's only three.

Give!

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I was once told to get a life but I just laughed it off. I have a life, so it wasn't worth bothering about.

Re: Power - Karma
 

You don't get Roy to cash 'em in for you?

:eek:

Oh I do.

What you saving up for, your next big cruise?

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

What do the initials stand for, Cashy?

Re: Power - Karma
 

Before this turns into yet another teary, why me Lord?, karma thread, of which there's been many over the years, it might be wise to take note of the forum rules, which clearly state...

15a No Karma comments to be posted on the open forum.

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...mer-29681.html

Carry on.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Did you take notice of the suggestion?

Re: Power - Karma
 

Funny!

Re: Power - Karma
 

I think your original answer was better than your edited one :rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

Me too!

Re: Power - Karma
 

on the few times I have not signed karma(and it hasn't been the red stuff) it has been because I have accidentally hit the enter key before having had a chance to put my name.
I haven't given much red stuff maybe 7 lots in 7 years(two lots recently) but I have never given red stuff without signing it.

Susie, I would respectfully suggest that as a scientist you accept that there are many things that science cannot explain....and also that this forum gives everyone the opportunity to express opinions. Opinions do not constitute fact....they are just someones take on things....much like theories that scientist publish now and again.......and a few months later someone publishes something that contradicts the first theory...but because these are done by scientists they do not attract the 'nutter' name tag.

Oh and I should have said Welcome to the forum Susie. Maybe you could post something in the Introduce Yourself bit of the forum and we can make your welcome more formal.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Thanks Cashy, took me a while to work it out but got there in the end.

Nil carborundum, in other words.

Couldn't agree more!

A person with scientific knowledge is often one of the first to say "I don't know", a conspiratist is someone much like a person newly converted to religion, they will grasp at the tiniest straw of what they consider to be true and will then go on a mission in the hopes of converting others to their ridiculous and unfounded theories.
as you say everyone can express their opinion, which also gives everyone else an equal right to express their contempt that a grown up, so called intelligent person should not only believe such rubbish but also want to spread such guff and expect no criticism.
I join you in welcoming Susie to the site, perhaps we can look forward to some interesting posts that will blow our technophobe out of the water?

Re: Power - Karma
 

If I remember rightly Jambutty used to get his knickers in a twist about unsigned red;)

Re: Power - Karma
 

Thought that's what I was doing, expressing an opinion just like anyone else. And the word nutter was a throwaway line, off the top of my head, not meant to offend.

As for introducing myself, think it's a bit late for that but thanks for the welcome.
Rule 13: Introduction threads to be kept as such, with only welcome and thank you posts.

If you want to know more about me the thread I started in the Nostalgia section about three weeks ago is a good place to start.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Very well put Less, but think I may be keeping my head below the parapet for the time being after this! Thanks for the welcome by the way.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Well my underwear is quite comfortable this morning :), just wanted to be able to reply to my accuser that's all.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Great new avatar Garinda. She was all those things. They don't make em like that any more.

Re: Power - Karma
 

Sadly not.

Still can't give any karma yet, but will do.

Like a lovely old elephant, I never forget.

;):D

Re: Power - Karma
 

Back to karma.

The first time we lose some, it is confusing, as to why.

If members post, asking about it, people, being generally kind, give you lots of karma back, in recompense.

This only happens the first time, mind.

If people keep chowing about it again, in the future, you're more likely to lose even more.

:eek::D:eek:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I'm not confused as to how I lost it and I'm certainly not going to keep going on about it.

Thanks in advance for your contribution by the way.

Re: Power - Karma
 

My post wasn't a slight on you susie, believe me, but older members on here would be quite aware of my thoughts on the matter and the person I refered too:rolleyes:

Re: Power - Karma
 

I know.

It was more aimed at others, who'd chipped in to have a little moan.

:D

Re: Power - Karma
 

I'm certainly not going to go down that road.

Thanks all for enlightenment, comments, advice and overnight contributions to my karma account. I might be tempted to misbehave again if I thought it would have the same effect! Only joking, I wouldn't be so crass.

As to the anonymous comment that started all this, rather than Two elderly ladies having a go at each other like a couple of school girls in the playground... I prefert o think of it as Two people with strong minds having a good natured (!?) argument... and I hope Margaret would agree. OK maybe I'm a wimp to get worked up about it but no one's ever called me an elderly lady before and I've never thought of myself in that way.

And finally...in a previous post Garinda you said

How does reputation power relate to karma? Is there an idiot's guide to all this? You see I'm a scientist, I like to find things out.

Think I'll stick to the nostalgia threads in future, it's safer. :hidewall:

Thanks again all.
