My lovely Karma NukerFollow

I know my Karma is low, and that can be expected when you debate about an issue most people don't support. So I don't mind being rated down for when I post about situations that.

However, I think someone has a grudge on me. Everytime I post a post in the RDM forum, may it be advice, simple truth, or a strategy, it gets rated down. I don't see how these rate downs are justified, and no one will post or PM me telling me why they rated me down. Here are a few posts:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=2&mid=1124292748231261703&num=9

I posted how I won my Maat fight, and it got rated down when the OP origionally stated they wanted advice and strategys about how other people where victorious.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=2&mid=1124251045502596161&num=11

There, I just posted some interesting facts about the games "Missing magic" and I get rated down. Then I make a post asking why I got rated down, and that gets rated down, too. I only want to know why this person who is rating me down believes this is justified.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=2&mid=1124141236217304780&num=11

In this post the OP asks if anyone can confirm RDM/NIN is a good solo combonation, the second post I made got rated to sub default after I stated why the combonation works so well. I asked in edit why am I getting rated down, and no one replys to me or PM's me. I feel completely unjustified for being rated down.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=2&mid=1124140972216584642&num=24

In this post I got rated down for stating why a certain NM can't be soloed, and I got rated down. I got rated up later, but I still did get rated down nonetheless. This only seems to happen when I make "At work" posts, never when i'm at home later on in the night, so I feel I have a karmer bomber.

Well, G'day and thank you =)

Welcome to Alla! The karma system allows even the lowliest of retards to get a scholar status to rate people.

Don't fret. I got a karma troll too. I personally think it's hilarious.

the way the karma system works is it is based on the average rating of all your posts...

i have no clue what the little stars next to your name means, can anyone explain for me??


Zafaire, if you want to counteract your personal troll, try posting in the Tarutaru Luv Thread here:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/races.html?frace=3&mid=1120761890132068314

Or in the Elvaan Appreciation thread here:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/races.html?frace=2&mid=1123827835113774034



They made a Guru out of Genbu, they can probably do something for your karma as well!

Hurry! This offer won't last long! Circle-jerk threads tend to get nuked once noticed! Time is running out!

    Those threads were nuked by the admins. It seems calling for rate ups is wrong, but allowing sock puppets is A-OK.

    The karma situation is dealt with, at least the one major player. you do have alot of other people rating you down in isolated segments. You may wish to think about modifying your posting style...

    I suppose sharing a living space, a computer, and an internet connection with someone is against the forum rules?

    Should I explain my whole living situation for you? Would that make you feel better about yourself?

    Before you get toooo indignant, just remember that literally every time someone has a matching IP with multiple accounts, the very first thing they do is claim innocence and a roommate/sibling/significant other.

    While I'm sure it's honestly true in a number of cases, you need to understand how little the admins care at this point, hearing it every day as they do.


    Now, what's a more reliable validation for you will be the fact that your roommate hasn't been indiscriminately rating YOU up at every turn.

    If you've both simply done your thing on the forums, and not gone out of your way to excercise any form of rating 'nepotism' or favoritism just because you're friends, then your argument will be more substantiated.


    A person who claims that multiple accounts on the same IP are just family members/roommates, but the logs demonstrate that these accounts have been rating each other up constantly and without exception, then it really doesnt matter what excuses are made; it's pretty evident that someone is making ratebots for "self-improvement".

    So, again, don't get indignant. If you're innocent of any wrongdoing, then it will be borne out by the facts and you have nothing to get antsy about.
