Forum Karma

but I've gotta wait an hour

Saved you the trouble.

This is the problem with karma.

What the fuck did I deserve that for?

Nothing.

Get rid of the whole fucking thing. People just decon because it's fun to antagonize things.

Quit bitching about the karma system. You'll get it eventually.

I'm just glad they removed the total posts from every single post. Now, THAT was something that made people judge each other before looking at the posts. Karma doesn't actually mean anything. Who the hell cares if your turrets are being deconned? I sure as heck don't.

The way the forums go, you're gonna get flamed. You've gotta get used to it. No starting any revolutions, now. Trust me, I tried it, and it didn't work. Just be glad you're not Caffine. :{D

You keep complaining about karma without arguing your point well. All I see is swear words and grief. Most people just ignore karma anyway. The way you complain is what makes me decon you, I'm not sure about everyone else though.

Very well. That is exactly the problem with karma on most websites. People see the way the information is presented, rather than what is actually being said. If someone is able to post a thread saying 'I slept with your mother' in an apologetic, calm and friendly format, they get +'s for apologizing, because thats so nice. If someone posts a thread saying 'I slept with your mother' in a way that shows they regret it, because your mother was so hideous, they never should have slept with someone so fat in the first place, people are agnery, and give -'s. It almost always comes down to the way you present it. And the fact that nobody can see you smiling and presenting your words with vocal expressions, changes in facial expressions and sarcasm, it becomes very very difficult to correctly portray what you're saying.

Most of the time, if I said what I typed out loud, people would laugh, or understand my opinion. Instead, in their head, I am being an angry little kid, complaining about everything.

Karma's a bitch, and I think we should get rid of it.

However, it is a great generator for threads such as these.

[Kiwi]

Yep, that's what happens, but isn't that what is supposed to happen?  Karma is based on presentation, that's the point.

And a hate bandwagon. D:

Only 'cause he's cool.

The reason you can't build or decon turrets is because you spawned with a rifle. Friendly fire is off for everything. At some point, you will be able to go to the and buy a ckit. From what I have read in this thread, the ckit seems to cost 300 credits in the forum, as opposed to being free in 1.1 and 1.2 - you earn one credit for each post you make (spam or not), and you lose one credit each time a post of yours is deleted. You do not get any credits for staying alive, staying logged in, killing aliens, or doing anything other than posting. Once you have 300 credits, you can switch out your rifle for a ckit. Then you can build/decon people's turrets.

Right now I still have the rifle.

[Liskey]

!allowbuild tskuzzy please

(just padding post count - about 280 to go) 

[Kiwi]

Sorry for the Necro..
But all of a sudden I can delete my posts.  Is this changed for everyone?  Or did I hit some post count?  (600 posts or something?)

[Kiwi]

Ok, sorry for the double post, but I can't delete my posts now   Maybe it was a fluke and I should have kept my mouth shut..

[DraZiLoX]

I can delete my topics

[Kiwi]

Yeah, but your a donor

Which reminds me that I need to donate some money, but I've been to lazy to get around to it..

[David]

AFAIK anyone can delete their posts if it's the last post in the thread, and maybe also a time limit.

EDIT:  I can remove this post, and it may depend on what theme you use.  Try with default?

[mooseberry]

I can delete any of my posts no matter how old they are or how many people posted afterwords. IIRC, that may be a donor privilege.

Seems like it isnt I can delete post that are, hmm week/few days old.

[Si-wins]

im has tyha good karcarma

[David]

Looks like I'm wrong, I can delete older posts.
Maybe it's a post-count think?  AFAIK there aren't any donor bonuses, but maybe I'm wrong.

* David goes to start a flame war and then delete his posts.

(The above is why I always quote people when replying to anything where that could happen.  Paranoia ftw!)

[CreatureofHell]

Definitely not a post count thing as I have 1187 and can't delete posts whereas DraZiLoX has far less and can.

But you said you can delete some; or did your spelling die?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, with over 3000 posts you can delete other peoples' annoying posts.

I cant delete old posts, but i can delete old topics that are made by me. Thats silly.

typo >.<
Fixed!

[Jack Bauer]

Call me stupid. Im not seeing a typo.

[KamikOzzy]

Can you maybe only delete your old topics in the clans section? Before I left we were discussing having that forum be self-moderated, which may be the case.

Since it's necro'd anyway: Is it possible for each post to have a +/-, like Youtube? That could detract from most of the drama about who hates who and who cares about karma. Still, a good post would be recognized with lots of +'s. Just seems to me that would be a way to have +/- reflect a post's value, and not who did or didn't kick you in the Nuts...server.

*walks again into the sunset*

Oh, and @Jack, he changed Drazilox's post to fix the typo Celestial Rage highlighted. "made by made" -> "made by me"

[Kiwi]

Ah.  Yep, thats it!  Thanks for shedding some light on this
Farewell once again

[DraZiLoX]

I can delete my topics, we're they in Modding, or General
