Once you have enough posts, you will see an Applaud/smite under the karma. I am assuming the applaud gives you positive and the smite gives a negative. if you have more positive then negative, people seem to like you more. You are a +2 so I guess two people like you.:)

Possible. Such things have happen on other boards with similar devices. But I hope we Taldrenites are above such things.

Also, I was under the impression that it was intended as a measure of credibility, not nessecarily how much people like you. The more postives you have, the more people respect your opinion, supposedly.

Some boards use stars or voting for that kind of thing.

I suppose this is as good as anything else.

I did notice I had a +1, yet I have no idea why.

Cool, I woke up to +2.

I actually like the ability to have both + and - vs just averaging things together.

I can't seem to change anyones Karma yet though.

Think about it this way.  You could set a record for having the most negative Karma without any positive. 

Don't look on it as a slam.  Take it as a badge of honor!

It's just that everytime Blade wakes up -- the only one with enough posts to do it -- he pushes the button again.

Title: Re: So what's up with that Karma +0/-0 thingy.....
Post by: AdmWaterTiger-11thFleet- on June 29, 2004, 10:29:42 am
When you have like 60 posts or something or own the joint, you get the ability to post karma points.

I just gave you one, because the boys at Xeno woke up this morning, and in the time I wrote that message, gave me 2 more.

So you owe me one.  ;D

Post by: MrCue on June 29, 2004, 10:37:06 am
1.) You need 50 posts to give someone a karma point.
2.) You cannot give a point to someone more than once in any 12 hour period.
3.) Abuse of the system will see it turned off.

Well maybe if you quit impuning their character by assuming they have an axe to grind with you it would help...  I will have to admit, that I don't even really know you, but I certainly know of you for lots of reasons.   

It is great that you don't much care about it, as I too thinkn of it as silly... but I don't see as it is going to really matter one way or the other.  Unless you have a real thing skin.

I for one am not too worried about my Karma... who believes in all that eastern philosophy stuff anyway

Tiger,

Saying it's Blade and the DOA boys is just plain wrong.  You know once I get enough post to applaud, I will applaud you like I did on BC to make everyone think you are a swell guy.  If I remember right that got you more upset than the smites ;D.

Disclaimer:  This is not meant as a flame, just having some fun with Tiger like the good ole days.

 Water Tiger I'm really NOT picking on you, But don't be so paranoid, I think you are bringing all the bad feelings down on your self by always alluding everybody hates you and is out to get you.
 You are making people uncomfortable with it all the time.
 And perhaps that is why you are getting all of the bad karma.
 Take it easy and relax :) :) :) Its all good,

2.) You cannot give a point to someone more than once in any 12 hour period.
3.) Abuse of the system will see it turned off.

So you can give out no more than one point every 12 hours, or no more than one point to each person every 12 hours?  I'd assume the former, but I'd like to clarify whilst I slowly build myself into karmic territory :)

Hey I wonder....when we die does the rating decide if we get into heaven or hell? What if you have only a marginal karma rating that works out to a couple points ahead....do you get a "Poor mans heaven" complete with second-hand imitation--pearl gates? Showtime but NOT HBO on heavens cable TV network?

I'm gonna burn in hell I know it lol.

You know I hate those channels so much that I've programmed them out of the cable box. They don't exist in my little TV entertainment kingdom. And thus the hated networks being banished to the electronic goulag,  the citizens of Punisherslvania rejoyced at the wise and general greatness of the Supreme Dictators decision.

 He Took my baby He did this He did that. They should name it the victim channel.
 Its really depressing stuff. :P
