Karma - Yay or Ney?

[sauerkraut]

I'd rather have the Karma thing back. I never gave anyone any neg. Karma clicks.

BroMance, that's pretty funny, actually.

There was a weird pattern for the karma.  I think some posters would simply log on to knock off karma or if they saw a post from someone they typically agree with would click a neg before seeing if their current post had merit.

I think a rating system is pretty silly, but I'm just 1/36 of the equation.

Um, sorry bud, but your little dot says "Conan71 has no influence."

How is the new system supposed to work?

I don't think it does as of yet.

I sort of figured that.  I didn't know if I was supposed to make lots of funny strained facial expresions in an effort to direct karma towards certain people or not.  Then again, if that's how the system worked, I'd think you might have better uses for it than this board.

-1 for 'reputation power'.

"this person is looked down upon".

Really?

Yeah you might change that up a little bit to "This person is probably Guido" or something like that.  No seriously.. Looked down upon is a little harsh.

As far as I know this new system has never been explained. I don't know what's up with it. All I know is when I click on my red it says "I'm not in favor" or something like that. Whatever- Ask me if I care.

It works much like the old Karma system as far as how your rated (this person clicked negative and these three have clicked possitive, so you have a rating of +2).  You have to click on the heart to bring up the option of approving or not.  You also have the option of a comment, though the full system isn't running so you can't see the comments yet (or I haven't figured out how to).

I'm not a fan of blanket statements about people being "looked down upon" or whatever.  I might disagree with some posters, but that doesn't mean I don't respect them.  (And, yes, there are some I don't respect, but who cares?  Besides, I might agree with them later on in some other post.)

I'm turning it off for the time being until I can figure some bugs out. As far as I can tell it's not really providing the features "as advertised"

I feel the same way.  There should be some other title there for that.  Perhaps just a simple "Low Reputation rating" or along those lines

Many people seem to take these forums all to serious. It's just a place to chat. I don't care what my Karma is or is not.
