Title: Karma - who's fair?
Post by: bodie on September 30, 2011, 04:02:42 AM

I realise that i am lazy and forgetful when it comes to dishing out
the karma points.  I often think 'i should plus so and so for that' but
then get caught up in something else and forget about it.

I sometimes feel bad and have a little karma spree.  I like to think
i dish out karma points for good posts and not because i happen
to like someone.  I must admit that i have read many good posts
that i haven't plussed karma for,  and then if i can't find the post
i just plus the person on the first post i find made by them. :zombiefuck:

Methinks this is not good!

Just wonder how everyone else dishes it out?

I find too often the posts that I agree with and think are sagely, I do not plus for though I should.
I am a reasonably active plusser I guess.
I have given about 5 or 6 negs since I have been here.

I had not thought about the negative karma thing.  Never given anyone a negative
karma.  GA slipped me one.  (bad phrase) and so did scrap. :zoinks:

I've only given one negative karma point here, and she deserved it - Jack. :autism:

I plus posts I think are funny or unusual/interesting. I give negatives occasionally, like if someone says something that really irritates me or is just dead wrong or stupid.

Although I like folks here and read funny or sensible things here I keep forgetting to plus people for it. Guess it's not really in my system. (hope folks don't mind that much)

I plus a lot more then I negative.   It just doesn't seem to be worth it to me to minus someone.   :dunno:   I take the karma system with a grain of salt.  I like Jack's take on it!!!   8)

You have received 70 pages of  :plus:, and given out 74 pages.  Seems more than fair.

I don't karma as much as I should.  Prefer to knight someone on the head with a sword. :zombiefuck:

Karma isn't something to be taken seriously.

Occasionally, I like to stick with certain numbers (69, 420, 426, 666 etc...) but other than that it's nothing to worry about.

If I gave you negative karma, you probably said something I thought was stupid, or I was trying to keep you at a certain number.  >:D

:lol: Are you still pissed at Soph and Bint? That was immature twatery on their part, but what is the point of concerning yourself with it now?

i've only given a handful of negative, when the person was really asking for it.

I only received 4 negatives - one from Lightfire ( I  was teasing him ) and the other 3 were scrap and soph fighting over what my number should be :D

I try to give + when something is funny or exceptionally insightful, but I often forget :S

I also give + when I want to reply to someones concern but don't feel it necessary to post it.

I took negatives from Lightfire/Praetor when I was calling him out as a pervert, and from Duke when he was imploding last time.

It's really weird. Couldn't help but think, I just posted a response; should I plus too? What else is there to say when I just made a post? When giving a plus with no response, why don't I just post that in the thread? What if someone gives me karma a lot, but I rarely plus them? Does that make things weird? You're feeling guilty and plussing random posts, letting it twist your head. These things I understand.

I yay people if they make me laugh or think, and occasionally ghey them if they annoy me enough. I do try to stick to the one-hour karma rules but I sometimes forget. nowhere does it say that it's not been an hour yet. :-[

I rarely yay people if they make me laugh or think, and severely ghey them if they annoy me in the slightest. I don't try to stick to the one-hour karma rule because nowhere does it say that it's not been an hour yet.  :evillaugh:

I plus when someone is insightful or amusing;  I minus when someone is a twat.

Only exceptions are when I want to piss someone off via their karma.

Does the pissing off people via karma work?

Nope. My daughter came in and sat on my lap and gave me a hug. Must have bumped the mouse and submitted it. I went to add a message and it was WTF?

I don't bother with giving karma anymore. Means nothing and I'm surprised some people get pissy over it.

im not the most active member on the site. usually give out positive carma when something literally makes me laugh out loud. and otherwise i dont (love good humor)

anyways i only received one negative and that was when i joined up here saying i was a friend of gluey. it was from dirtdawg and the reason was "go away".... after getting into that argument with gluey and seeing how she was on here i now THINK i know why and dont think anything of it... when i joined i thought to myself "what an ass" after i found the karma logs.

I rarely use the system. Last time I used it was when MLA posted that thread in the Elders. I also used the negative system when TCO did that attention thread. I found it boring and those things annoy me so I gheyed him.
