Forum Karma

[mooseberry]

I can build and decon. But I have high post count and am a donater? Can someone who is donater with low post count or non-anything with high post count say if they can or can't build and decon.

Or easier... a mod could just say what has been changed.

+/- is kind of weird, I think one hand, the old number gives you a simpler idea of the persons karma, but this one gives you more info so... I don't really care either way.

[FreaK]

I'm a donor and I see is Turrets: +358/-301, I can't build or decon anymore.

[your face]

That's a great, constructive opinion right there!

Who said constructive?

[mooseberry]

I guess it is post count then, thanks. Above 300 needed? 

Make it 1000 while you're at it.

[A Spork]

I'm at 301....


EDIT: aaaaaaaaand as of post #301 I can build/decon again....

[Kaine]

AJ, Face's complaint makes sense, what you're saying is just asshattery for the sake of it.  (And not even funny asshattery... if you wanna pick on someone, try to NOT pick one of the more beloved persons on the site.  Karma doesn't mean shit, if you didn't notice my net karma is positive.)

Basically: Back off, fuck off, and stop getting off on your weirdass argumentative ways.  No one wants to watch you forumgasm all over Your Face.

300+ post it is then.  15 more to go :p

Can the devs explain why they changed this, and explain why they selected the new layout for karma?

My Opinion: I'm fine with either way, but renaming it Karma would be better than turrets with the +/- way, otherwise it can be too confusing for some.

[AppleJuice]

Kaine, you don't know me very well, or else you'd realize that I don't really listen to adolescent posters.
I just think this is a very silly thing to complain about...just like the removal of the hovel was.

Your post is very ironic, in terms of both content and tone (also, beloved? lol).


Anyway, this karma system is more informative than the old one, at the very least. In short, why care? I think the +/- differential is pretty amusing, actually

[tskuzzy]

I like the turrets :]
!allowbuild tskuzzy please

[Kiwi]

Lol, only 230 more post to go

[Silver]

it's 300 posts I think we determined that already.

[KamikOzzy]

My bad, good call.

Deleted my earlier post containing my details and ability to alter karma.

If someone gives me 10 cookies, and I eat 3 cookies, I now have 7 cookies. Not +10/-3 cookies. This is why it looks silly.

It's neat to see it, though. I had no idea my karma was so active. I had just figured it went up/down like 50 total. Some people must really hate me, and others must really like me. =D

I don't care, I just stated my blatant and offensive opinion. 

[Odin]

In my opinion, it should display the total number(as before), but it should have alt text to show the +/- counts.

[Hendrich]

I agree.

Also, please lower the required post count to raise or lower Karma to either back where it was or change it, because I think 300 posts is a bit too high.

Lastly, regarding the donaters here, I never had known of donaters get to raise/lower Karma regardless of their post count. Was that true? If not, I don't see why something like that could be offered to donaters, doesn't really affect anything and treats them fine.

[Odin]

I also think that if you're going to change the mod requirements to prevent abuse of the system then at least reset our karma level to 0. Some of us(like myself) had got negative karma every day, even when we didn't even post. One time I was getting negative karma every second for about an hour.

But wouldn't people just lower your karma anyways, tarnishing your initial impression to others?

How about making an option in your profile to disable people from building/adding and deconning/subtracting karma on your account, reducing it to 0(Nothing)? If people feel that Karma is just unnecessary trivial fluff, they can disable it or in Odin's case, keep people from subtracting his Karma.

Looks at your -202.

1 per second every hour

60*60=360

Tries to figure it out.

Gives up.

Does not compute.

FreaK with 240 posts and a donor can't do karma stuff, so I'd assume being a donor makes no difference at all.

[jit]

hmm... so its 300 posts. i got like 100+ to go. they should add a picture of turret building as the build and a turret blowing up as destruction of a turret. both of these as gifs files.

I agree that it's nice to be able to see who's really controversial on this forum, and who doesn't make waves... but most of that could be determined anyway with a degree of common sense.  The fact that you "lower yourself" to arguing with adolescents about things you claim are "trivial" is more of a commentary on you than on any of the adolescents that you harangue.

If you're looking for more silly things to complain about, you have no further to look than here.

Points to "about an hour."

Reminds you of possible randomness from human inability to be exact.

Comes up with about 180.

[Kaine]

Lol, I wasn't gonna say anything, but since Odin already brought it up.... 60*60 != 360.  It's 3,600 bro.   

[rotacak]

You got 10 cookies and eated 3 cookies. That is exactly what karma saying: +10/-3.

BTW, what about reset karma to 0 and allow only one vote from one user?

[DraZiLoX]

Seems we have to spam more

[Asvarox]

Yes, lets spam the forums until we don't have 300 posts, so we can alter others karma, because it's the whole point of this board.

[Colynn']

If I could have 300 posts, I would have +1'd you.

[A Spork]

300 seems a bit too high.....
150 would be more realistic I think.
Unless this is all an evil plot for only devs to get karma powers....

* A Spork waits for the conspiracy theories....

[David]

I agree it seems kinda pointless.
The only reason I can see for the limit is to stop sock-puppets voting.  So 300 is OTT, and just going to encourage even more spamming.

Of course I'd also be happy to see the whole thing vanish, so meh.
