I am well aware who the annony-mouse Karma docker was, i'ts time they did something constructive instead of attemting to destroy the site by ' playing the 'Bully'.

Now you've got me wondering. How do you know who it was? Must be somebody with rep power of 52.

Re: Fascism lives !
 
I'm sorry, I can't quite fathom out what you are trying to say there but I get the feeling that you may not have understood me so I'll try to put it a little better. I'm not aware of any way of knowing how much one's karma goes up or down. Not like we used to have when a little message flashed up to tell us we had lost or gained a specific number of karma points.

I know the relevant post does tell you how much karma you currently have and give you the info regarding what the karma granter or deducter said when they gave or took karma. BUT I'm not aware of anywhere where it tells you exactly how much has been given or taken. Is there somewhere or do you keep a note of your running total? I have no idea what my total is. I only notice something has changed when my rep power is affected and then I look in my CP to see what the karma statements are but that doesn't tell me how much was given or taken.

As to the comment about 52 - it could also be 53 I think, and I don't know on a day to day basis what people's re power is either so I have no idea who had 52 or 53 when your karma was deducted, or if indeed there was just one person or more than one person.

Hence my questions about how you were so sure you knew who it was. Hope that clarifies it a bit now.

I'm with Willow on this one. Before the site was hacked into by the Belgians, you could see how much karma you had been given or lost by someone, and you could play sleuth to see who you thought it might have been. Now we don't have reputation points, I don't see how it is possible to know, unless I'm really missing something.:confused:

Is not the entry above your list of karma comments in 'my profile'.. directly above last comment, right hand size, not it Garinda ? Mine is showing 1504 points .. sure this is it ? (by the way, thanks you were my last :D)

WillowTheWhisp 06-10-2007 22:45
Re: Fascism lives !
 
Yes that gives the running total but nothing pops up to let you know that total has changed or by how much like it used to. There are times when I receive karma but don't even realise it until several days later or if my rep power has changed and then I look in my profile and see a karma comment but it doesn't tell me how much my karma was changed by that comment so I wouldn't know unless I kept a seperate record myself of the running total and could see how much it had changed by.

Unless someone knows another method of which I am unaware.

No, above what now reads rep power used to be reputation points.

For example if you had 100 reputation points and it went up to a 120, you knew that someone with rep power of twenty had awarded you karma.

On the other hand, if you went down to 80 you knew someone with rep power of 40 had deducted karma, as karma is deducted by half their power.

As clear as mud.

I'm getting myself confused now, and feel a little headache coming on.:D

Well, to me same difference, will now have to await further - or + karma to see.

I have tried to give you some today (ref Perfume thread) but I have given you some recently so it wont let me.

I dont remember when that was - do I have to give it out to someone else first? ie can it not be given to the same person consecutively?

No, it's different. Your karma does affect your rep power but other things affect your rep power too. If you look at your karma points in your profile you'll see that you've got tons more karma points than rep power. As Rindy said if someone has rep power of 40 they will increase your karma by 40 or decrease it by 20 but that may not actually alter your rep power at the time. So unless you keep regular tabs on your karma, as far as I am aware, there's no way of knowing these days when it is altered. It's quite easy to miss.

What wouldyou do if you were not on the pc, sit at home counting, baked beans. Do not try to tell me accywebs most prolific poster in fact East Lancashires most prolific poster does not know how to work out who gave me 26 bad karma points 26+26 = 52 power, so given the fact that they can only give you half it' s rather obvious who it was. I hope that clarifies my point as I only post when I have something constructive to offer the forum:):)

I think Willow wants to know how you know that it was 26 points? Do you keep a record of all karma that you are given or is it noted somewhere on screen?

But that's what I thought the points were as I described in the entry I suggested in 'My Profile' now showing 1504 points .. if you now gave me some Karma .. :D .. you have power of 46 .. would this not then amend to 1550 ? and you can roughly work out who the karma-giver was due to the increase ?

Ok .. it's not now showing on the front page, but think still available in 'My Profile' ??

garinda 07-10-2007 11:49
Re: Fascism lives !
 
..but sometimes someone can give or take karma and it might not alter your reputation power, so you don't know how much power that person has.

Have some karma grumpy chops.:)

I am glad I have 54 or else he would be blaming me :D

I take that little notice since it stopped popping up and telling you I would not know who gave or took what. For you to know how much was taken you must keep an eye on it and remember what you had before.

While we are on about karma look at my last bad karma but with a good comment. I meant to ask cashy at the meet if he had meant to give me good karma or a bad comment :D:D:D

Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
Why would he blame you? Do you send negative karma as a habit? You all know the pros and cons of karma but IMHO the more power you have the better. I think anybody with POWER will be able to point in the right direction to us lesser mortals.

grego 07-10-2007 21:12
Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
I think its more about knowing how many points you have, not rep power, so you know exactly how much has been taken even if it doesn't change your rep power, does that make sense?

Gayle 07-10-2007 21:16

The amount you give equals your rep power at the time you give it. The amount you take is half your rep power.

So you don't know how it works? It makes little odds to me but please don't pretend you all don't know what happens. IMHO it is a form of bullying!!

Less 08-10-2007 08:35
Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
poor old Ianto, wrong again, claiming to know what he doesn't and therefore jumping to a false conclusion.

I happen to have 52 rep points divide it in half and wow! you get 26!

Sorry to disappoint but as much as you would like it to be me it wasn't, tell you what just to prove it I'll give you some + karma (which I couldn't do if I had so recently given you -) then perhaps you will calm down a little and look for the real culprit. :D

HAPPY HUNTING!

I didn't say I don't know 'how it works'. I have known how to give and take karma for years and I have known for ages how much karma is given or taken in relation to how many rep points the giver or taker has. The only way I have learned these things is by asking and/or being told by others. If I don't know things, I ask. If I do know the answers to questions asked by others, I answer. How does that make me a bully?

The thing I don't know, and therefore asked about, is the thing I still don't know and that is - if there is any way of knowing how much karma was given or taken for a post where someone has given or taken karma from you. As far as I am aware the only info available is the running total of karma and in your profile whether or not the last adjustment was a giver or a taker.

At one time we did have the added bit where it told you how much karma was given or taken for a particular post and we had a pop up telling us when our karma had changed. I was wondering if there is something currently which tells us that but which I am not aware of.

As far as I am aware we do not currently have anything to tell us when our karma changes. The only thing we have on view in the posts is what our rep power is and I do tend to notice if that changes, but it doesn't always change every time karma is added or deducted and as far as I am aware there is no way of immediately knowing when karma is adjusted apart from constantly checking the total. All I wanted to know is if there is something I am missing and something somebody else knows then would they please tell me.

However,having read Less's post I'm beginning to think that Ianto didn't actually have the information which he claimed to have and just made an incorrect assumption about the number of karma points he lost which would explain why he wasn't ready to explain to me how it was done. Perhaps it can't be done other than making a constant note of one's running total.

I fail to see how asking about it makes me a bully and I apologise if I have given that impression because that was never my intention. I feel very hurt by the accusation. :( Having asked the question in the open forum shows that it is something I want to share with everyone else as I think the more we all know about how things work then the better it is for all of us. In my opinion the people who find out little quirks in the forum but then keep them secret are the ones playing a bullying game. I don't like bullies either.

Sorry Bernadette, that was how it looked to me in this post where you quoted me and accused me of pretending that I don't know how karma works and then said in your opinion it was a form of bullying. It just sounded like me asking Ianto how he knew it was 26 points was me bullying him.

Do you understand now what I was asking originally? I have looked back at my posts on this subject and can see that right from post 8 in this split thread I said that I knew how 26 points were deducted (ie by someone with a rep power of 52) but all I was asking was if there was a way of knowing, in relation to the karma thingy (green or orange blob plus comment) or the post to which it related, how much karma that particular transaction had added or taken. Ianto never answered the question but from what others have said it seems that there isn't something I'm missing and that it was only an assumption he'd made.

Now if he'd just said that originally in answer to my question I would have said thank you for the info and possibly given some karma for the help. Instead of which this has escalated into an argument over nothing.

Ian, you have my Karma, as I sympathise with your thoughts. Somebody ( and I know who) recently docked points from my Karma for what I thought was a constructive post. Unfortunately Pal, it's down to the individual who deems it fit to award / deduct Karma. It's up to you (If you can work it out) how you react to that :(

If anyone really want's to know who sent good/neg karma then they can ask the mods to trace it...never done this myself but I know it has been done recently..so you see it's not really anonymous.

Yes it was sent to me and as I said before I thought Flashy had misunderstood something I had said in one of the threads. I only got in touch with Flashy to rectify what I thought was a misunderstanding. Turns out she hadn't sent me any so she got in contact with one of the mods. Now what I would like to know is what does FT stand for?

Apart from defeating the object of sending anonymous karma ( a system I believe Roy prefers ? ) should the mods really tell people who sent them karma, good or bad ? If it's very offensive or threatening then maybe it needs dealing with but as a general rule should it not remain anonymous ? I bet also that nobody ever bothers to ask the mods who sent good karma, only negative will get questioned :)

WillowTheWhisp 09-10-2007 14:33
Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
Now that's just plain silly. I don't mind getting bad karma if the reason is valid. I don't even mind it being anonymous. I don't always sign karma, mainly because I forget but surely the fact that it can be anonymous means it should stay anonymous. My only greivances are when someone gives a neg for a daft reason or some comment which doesn't make sense but mainly if someone signs karma with another person's name. I know Roy said he didn't object to anon and he thought the whole mystery thing was part of the fun, but deliberately goading someone and pretending to do it in the name of someone else is not fair or funny. I wouldn't have thought of FT as a signature though I'd have assumed it was an offensive insult.

I remember someone coming on here and slagging off the Stag - that resulted in them getting so much negative karma they were in minus figures because a lot of AccyWebbers were very fond of the Stag at the time and took it very much to heart. I've also seen stirrers suffering from a massive loss of karma and that's totally understandable if they are just posting in order to cause friction and offence.

But what were we talking about when this bit went off at a tangent and was moved here by the mods?

Less...my life was pretty sheltered too until i went into nursing and then I was called FT quite a few times.......I knew it wasn't a compliment because most times it was spat out at me....usually when asking people to leave the ward.

I think I may have been called that on a few occasions too..:D and for exactly the same reason.

i only complained to the mods about it because Bernie thought it was me who sent it, it was signed FT, but turns out it was Mancie who sent it, we know he loves me and could be the next accyweb stalker....watch out girls, you may be next ;)

So far as I understand, (and what I understand could be a limited amount according to some karma comments :D), if someone is offensive in what they say when giving/taking karma as with any post it can be reported to the mods, then if they agree that it is offensive they will get in touch with the offender by pm and slap their wrists warning them that such things won't be tolerated. However if the person hasn't signed the karma disclosing who, (or is that whom? damn this English language), they are then the recipient, (of said karma), shouldn't be told the name of that person.

Ah well, just read that thread again and can't see why Ianto would lose karma for any of it. If I had a funny do there, Ian, and did it I apologise because it wasn't relevant. There was something I did get annoyed with you about recently but I'm blowed if I can remember what that was now! All I remember thinking when I originally read the bit about Paradise Street was how unfair it was of Gayle to say it was scruffy. I don't think I negged her for it though.:confused: Mind you, Granny thought she'd given Harwood Red some karma that day and it turned out she hadn't. :D

Oh dear, someone gave me karma on this thread, (positive of course, erm, Ianto what colour is negative karma?), and not only has that taken my power to 54 thus proving it can't be me that gave 26 negative, but it has also taken my karma total to 2202 points, so if anyone has a spare 798 points to get me to a round 3000 I would be most grateful and grovel at your feet for all eternity.
:p

Of course the rotten swine that gave me this karma didn't sign it but their comment is worth repeating:_

Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
I've personally never even thought about rep points and how karma affects it. I've only ever had bad karma once and i was quite annoyed because it was a pathetic reason and they called me a Muppet. Now if I got bad karma for a good reason then fair enough, thats the system its how it works. I give out quite alot of good karma, I can't remember ever giving out bad (although I probably have once) Ive gone for a month or so without receiving any karma in the past, and i've still slept easy at night.

Re: Just cost me 26 karma points
 
You a muppet as well Lolly. I'm a muppet too. Daft thing is, the thing I was called a muppet for was an incorrect assumption of something in my post. I suppose the real muppet was the person who hadn't read it properly! :D
