Title: Karma
Post by: Brian Fein on March 07, 2008, 05:56:10 pm
Fau, I'm looking at you on this one...

Can someone please explain the karma thing we all have on out avatars now?

<-----

I can't wait to see Tommy give all of my posts negative karma because he wants to catch up with my post count. ::)

Not sure if it'll stay actually. It's always been a part of the board software, but we've kept it disabled. It's pretty self explanatory though, you approve or disapprove of posts. You can only vote once every hour for the same person.

I have been busy and just lurking from time to time but I had to log in to check out this Karma thing.

Being too busy to participate in the TDMMC message boards is a smitable offense!

The karma feature can be fun.  Are we going to take it seriously or just have fun with it (like smiting someone for being too busy to partipate)?

Yeah, he deserves a smite for that.  As well as anyone who posts pictures of scantily clad women.  ;D  (running while the guys all smite me)

Or we could smite people who reach a max. number of posts in one day :D

Here I am now and I don't see any karma meter.  A special thanks to whoever got rid of it.   ;D

Bring the karma back, if possible. I thought it was a really cool feature.

That's funny... When I saw that karma feature the first time, I told myself I will NOT start bad-karma'ing folks up here. I know a few of my regular combatabts would probably bad karma me en masse, so wanted to take the high road.

I think it would have been OK to keep the Applause part of it...(It might be away to Stop Good point" I totally agree posts....but I think the "Smite Button " would have been abused IMO...

I think it was already abused!  :D

The "smite" feature was fun.... if people started taking it seriously, well, probably not so much fun then.

I would like a Karma feature for individual posts, but I didn't like it for the user.  I think it didn't encourage people to contribute, and would cause bad blood and groupthink.
