I agree Bazf and i'm sure a few others on the forum would agree too. All though they may not post their agreement, for fear of point deduction lol!

That's funny Bazf. I had some deducted because I do believe in God! Silly isn't it? I think people being downright offensive could be a justification for removing Karma but for a genuine debate where both (or several) points of view are put forward without recourse to petty name calling or personal insults shouldn't call for it.Bazf said:

...........I think if you are taking Karma points away then it should be mandatory to say who you are.......I don't think it is so important if you are giving good Karma, although that is nice to know too!
The only person who can see who gives and deducts karma is Roy. If someone has taken a load of karma from you and not left their name, Roy can see who it is. He has banned people from the forum in the past for taking karma from people willy-nilly. It's nice to get good karma from someone, but annoying when someone takes karma and doesn't leave a name.

I love it when someone who gives me karma lets me know who they are as well as the reason why. If the reason for deducting karma is a valid point then I accept that too but it doesn't half bug me when I get deducted for a stupid reason such as "cars were there first" in the Town Hall thread because the person deducting the karma is the one actually in the wrong legally regarding that road. If they'd deducted it from me if I was saying it should be OK for cars to go through and flout the law then I would accept that as valid.
I suppose it will always be a cause of grumbling one way or another but on the whole I like the idea of it because it's nice to be able to give and receive and know you've impressed somebody with something (or not as the case may be).

We all say that Karma doesn't really matter, but I think to most people it does matter.....if you have had Karma deducted it rankles because you were only putting your point of view forward and isn't that what the forums are for????? it would be pretty boring if we all had the same views.....in fact it wouldn't be worth turning up to see who's written what!
I think Karma is a good thing, for example in the Stanley section we have had a few silly young men trying to spoil it 
But when lots of us bad karma the individual his karma figure is so low, that every post he makes, people will take with a pinch of salt what he says due to his obviously silly history.
On the other foot, a higher karma figure shows that that persons post SHOULD be trustworthy/honest due to a goodish history ...

I like her too but I like such a wide range of music that it's easier to say what I don't like (rap)Doug said:
