Don't worry about it Anthony, Last month I had 23 points, now I've 15. I might have deserved to loose some but the rest went because I had an opinion. So be it. The points demonstrate the response of other individuals to your post or general manner on the site, you will loose them for P***ing people off. Keep an eye on mine I’ll be down there with you before long……………AnthonyS said:How do I turn my karma off? I seem to have only 8 karma yet I haven't done anything badso I want to turn it off.

Doug, I would worry about it if I was you. Going negative automaticaly disables your posting/chatting/arcade access. By the way, you have to spread your karma around and so must issue karma to at least 10 other people before you can get the same person again. It's about time I posted the full karma system.. I'll look into it now.
Doug if someone wants to get you they will, so what's the point of posting something that maybe not everbody will agree with. If you do you loose your karma points your off and there's no way back but at least you will have made your point, don't you agree Wingy ???Doug said:
I totaly agree that debates etc keep a message board alive, this is why the Karma system relies on people being mature and dishing out both good and bad karma.
We used to have a system in place before karma and it was abused. A shame really.
My only suggestion to anybody with low karma, think of things that might keep people happy or cheer people up and the karma will come back.
For example Tealeaf (sorry T ) he has many debates and often upsets people but look at his )was high last time i looked anyway).
Come to think of it mine isnt too good!! EEK i'm off to tell some jokes

Am I reading this right? Someone with negative Karma can only read the board and not contribute to it? That would give them precious little opportunity of regaining their Karma again. It does seem a bit unfair. It only needs a few people to disagree with a point and that member is virtually gagged.
I was just going off what Roy said in that part of his post.Roy said:
Can you give more than once a day Lettie? I can't. If I try to I get a message telling me I've given out too much in the past 24 hours and to try again later.Oooh, I don't know Willow, never tried it. I tend to give karma for something I strongly agree with, something that makes me laugh or something that helps or answers a question for me. I have only taken karma from somebody once and that was on the old Accyweb. I believe that everybody is entitled to an opinion and wouldn't rob somebody of karma just because their opinion differs from my own.
I lost karma just for inviting someone to PM me if they wished to further discuss an issue.....I personally dont bother with it and have never taken a posters karma points score to be any form of indication of their character. People taking (or even giving) karma points just because they agree (or disagree) with their opinion seems rather petty to be honest - and surely taking karma from someone is bad karma in itself!
