Its A Karma love thing

I dont believe in KARMA so give me an opt out for this system please

I can't seem to turn it off in my user control panel.

Change the colour too, to grey to i can't see it. It lookes silly like 5 green peas under peoples names

Also who was the instigator who brought this new karma system to the afore?
I would also like a detailed response as to why it brought in?

Demands over, let the flaming begin

:-)

This is the sort crap I dont want to be part of

This idea that people can judge me on what i post by negating my reputation. (yes I know flaming was it how its done in the past [that was looked down on by all as well])

Forums are here for the freedom of thought and expression (within legal boundaries). Fine some people wont agree with you but they should have the right to degrade you?

This system just announces another form of predjudice. This will eventually lead to people being too scared to post anything in case people dont like it. Hell I dont care what most of you think but some of you obviously do, and will feed off this system.
Where as others will die and never post again. (stop wishing I would die and never post again)

Re: Its A Karma love thing

I honestly doubt there are people out there that take the reputation system that serious. I mean, ofcourse, it's nice and blimey to have a big line of green blobs under your name, but I couldn't really care about a negative reputation point from somebody, with a really poor explanation to it. I think many will feel alike.

Also I do feel this reputation is a nice system to give people credit for some things they post. Most (if not all) of the people out there with a big line of green blobs do have above average posts. Surely this system could be abused, but I don't think anybody will take it seriously enough to actually do that.

It's like cheating in a friendly Quake 3 match against another team: if there's nothing to gain or loose, why the hell bother?

Re: Its A Karma love thing

I do agree with you Hook whole heartily, but I think that more people will abuse than use this system. The only real way of finding this out to reset everyone to zero, and start from scratch.

Most posters with high post counts seem to have a high rep points. TO me this doesn't make any sense and goes back to the "I havea big post count, so I must right even tho I'm a spammer/flamer" argument of old.

Now it will be "well my reputation on the boards is great thus I can do no wrong". People are like this but this system will be abused. It will take someone who has high rep points to suddenly losing them all due to neg karma for this to be noticed.

I think to fair to everyone that there should be an option not to participate in the reputation system.

Does anyone else agree that this option should be there?

Re: Its A Karma love thing

I guess that on the same grounds as enabling/disabling the use of avatars, the visualization, and with that, participation in the reputation system could be argued to give the possibility to enable/disable.

I'm pretty sure I've not seen that kind of crap go on since about 2001, and even then I might be imagining that it happened at all.

The people who seem to have high rep are indeed on the whole the most established members of the community. If they've not been at the 'I'm great look at me' game already (which I believe they have not although if there's evidence to the contrary I'll listen), I very much doubt that a series of green dots under their name's going to make a hell of a lot of difference.

It's a novelty for the time being, hopefully the way points are awarded will be rescaled and it will take a lot longer to get any decent rep. I'd certainly force people to leave comments if they're going to rep at all though, otherwise there's little to indicate just what it was about your post that was good or bad.

Re: Its A Karma love thing

Aye Pablissimo that argument hasn't been around for a while, but I was just highlighting to further my point.

The problem is though, that some one who doesnn't post a reply to the thread can devalue the posters reputation with out making any contributions to the said thread other than saying "this is shit"

Its just a pm flame.

While thinking on this I am also wondering on this fact. What if 10 ppl neg me for this and 9 people positive karm me for this does this mean that I'm still shit even tho 9 pppl liked what i posted.

I really dont want to argue the intricasies of the system but I would like to see an option to opt out of it.

I think the novelty will wear off, but I would like a signing on the karma so i can flame there threads old fashioned style.

hehe only joking but you may get what I mean.
