Karma?

Many of us have been subjected to vicious personal attacks becuse of our statements on the site or our points of view. Unfortunately this is the current state of affairs in our society, and we'll just have to live with it.
Those of us who are wise enough to continue making our opinion known or continue to make statements, that may (whitingly or unwitingly cause what could be construed as "offence") or may not wind up a couple of our fellow site members should follow their conscience. :engsmil: :engsmil: :engsmil:

As for Karma.........I should cocoa :bleedht: :bleedht:
 
I mean when all said and done karma is ok but i like a good vindaloo as well.Oops i think i have misread this thread , that would be khorma am i correct
 
I think a lot of new people would welcome some direction on karma - I have no idea how to add or take away anything.

Whilst I agree that no-one should be allowed to post vicious messages or personal attacks, surely we are all entitled to our opinions. We should respect the opinions of others, whether we agree or not. Does anyone remember the quote -

"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

Not a bad stance to take, I think.
 
No pendy i do not remember the quote and i can honestly say i ahve never heard of it but i do like it and will remember that one
 
Karma is basically feedback on your threads. I personally like to be able to increase someone's karma if a feel they deserve it and I also like to receive it - it builds on the community spirit of the site. But, of course sometimes even in a close community people disagree, and if I felt it necessary I would also give someone bad karma (although I wouldn't give bad karma just for someone having a different opinion). I do not think that Roy or any of the moderators would allow this system to be abused, and I think that if anyone was getting "picked on" it would soon come to their attention. Surely we are all capable of using this option sensibly and if you do not wish to get involved with Karma - that's perfectly OK!
 
But that brings us back to the original question doesn't it ShortStuff? If anyone doesn't wish to "get involved with Karma" it isn't "perfectly OK" because they have Karma points whether they like it or not. They can choose not to give or remove any from other members but cannot opt out of other members adding to or subtracting from their own.

I've heard that saying Pendy and I believe it is a good one to live by. We should all have the right to our own opinions and enough dignity to accept the opinions of others even when they differ from our own.
 
You always impress me with your replies Shortstuff. You seem to be able to make sensible judgments without been Judgmental. Ever thought of going in to Social Work.
 
on a few occasions i have seen karma removed for no apparent valid reason at all

i forget the individuals name but soemone posted a joke about political correctness been around in the 1800's i think it was and someone took karma of him even though all the replies to the joke were positive and the joke didnt have offensive content to any one what so ever

regardles somone removed his karma and didnt even have the guts to say why or who they were so i awarded him what i could

i can assure everyone here that although i have not yet deducted karma if i ever choose to do so i will put a reason

cant say fairer than that can i :D

i sometimes share the same opinion as someone and other times i think the total opposite and will speak my mind although i admit at times i can get a bit up my own bum i would never think less of anyone just for having a different opinion to me
 
KARMA_all the people that post threads on this web site post because they have something to put across to other people,Now if some other people dont like what they see they deduct karma of the person that has posted the thread.But what happens if someone is posting on this site is not a member of the accrington web and is using someones alias and is deducting karma off others?:(
 
To be quite honest, I can't see the point in the system cos I have posted quite a few jokes on here (always up for a good laugh) and my points never go up or down so...............but hey does this look like a face of concern:s_frighte

That's when they've been given by someone who hasn't got many posts so they don't actually affect your karma total but you know they would have done if they could.
