Allakhazam,

The Karma system is an utter joke. For long time posters it is largely irrelevant, as it would take a sustained coordinated camping to significantly impact Karma. As a result, it gets abused as a means of gagging any new poster who does anything that disturbs the sentimentalities of the few. Now, you even have ADMINS encouraging karma camping. Are you serious that this is the intention of the system?

If you think back to some of the more legendary controversial posters, I am thinking the Smasharoos and Tacosids of this world, they would have been Karma camped to oblivion almost immediately under the current regime, as they came along and challenged the status quo.. and these are posters who have done more to keep these boards interesting and captivating than half of the CJing morons who frequent these parts today.

Seriously, it is a system that alienates any new poster who might be prepared to add a bit of spice around here.

To all of you karma whoring cowards who are not prepared to grow a sack and fight back using words, you know who you are you little **** slapping ******** f[/b]uck you and the cu[b]nts you came out of.

Finally, you should keep the Admins on a tighter leash, and remove favoritism from their job descriptions. It would be helpful if they kept their posting rate down too.

Thanks.

Quite honestly, I know the point of karma. It's a good system, with a good intention behind it. Yes, it gets abuse, but what doesn't, now a days?

If you want to eliminate the "attack on the newbie poster", then the better approach would be to get rid of visible post counts, not the karma system.


I mean really, anyone with a post count of 3 digits or less isn't usually taken seriously around here and thus dubbeb "sock."

Couldn't it be altered so that one account could only have a limited impact on another? That would eliminate 75% of the Karma issues.

I did not just make that statistic up, it is based on months of intensive study and evaluation by a team of well qualified staticians

My guess would be to get rid of the lame whiny bit[b][/b]tches that can't stand to think of anyone else posting on a
PUBLIC FORUM.

Or, could we all just shut up about it and stop giving a fu[/b]ck? You too Pat. What the hell difference does it make one way or another? Why're you getting so butt-hurt over it? When I started posting here, virtually nobody on this board knew me with the exception of Redyne, yet I had no trouble fitting in. It's absolutely possible to be a new board member and still be able to join in. People just have to stop sucking so badly when they post is all. And people have to stop caring so much what happens to everyone else's karma. I rate up, I rate down, whichever mood suits me. What does it matter?

another thought on this as well is the Karma system is not working properly when you have someone creating socks to rate their "main" account up, or to rate down others. So if you want to complain about one category of people, then complain abvout everyone. If you only want to bash one set of people without recognizing the karma system being played with in many ways then shut up and have a nice day Smiley: wink

interesting post by kao here sometime ago...i remember when it was considered bad form to even rate in the assylum, that sort of juvenile behavior being frowned upon by the senior statesmen of the alla forums...

/sigh

Pat is completely and utterly correct.

and those of you that say you dont give a *** are just as obviously hypocrites.

in reference to jiggledyjay, he handed out 2,500 "1" rates in a single one day period. You were the recipient of some of those as well. Damn right he should be camped.

Seriously, I’m tired of it. He leaves for months at a time, then he gets back and finds that people aren’t paying attention to him, so he goes and looks for the biggest target he can find and tries to start a ****-up just to stoke his overblown sense of ego. He can’t play with Tacosid anymore because Taco doesn’t post enough, and he isn’t in Smash’s league even if he were posting here. If I weren’t here he’d just pick someone else. He’s just Jaygcn with a bigger vocabulary and an accent.

You aren’t fooling anyone Matt. Why don’t you go hang your pink taffeta curtains in your wonder hovel or something and give the internet a rest for a while eh?

On noes! I got some rate downs! You *******, I will not be able to sleep tonight. That's it Jiggledy, I'm coming after ya now! Oh sorry, my mistake. I thought for a second I was a pathetic little cu[/b]nt.

Reading comprehension is your friend. I know it's hard to remain rational when you get all emotional when someone criticises your pathetic little world, so I forgive you. My point is that we never would have known who they were [b]at all
if they had started posting in the current regime. Get it now?

Isn't she a beauty! Kaolains (Aministratus Maximus) in the wild rarely lash out at any other species because they are a docile homonid who prefer solidarity. But look what happens when they are provoked!! I'd take a croc any day over a pissed Kaolain! Let's get out of here before the Kaolain sences our presence!

Removing socks and rate-bots would do wonders for the system. I know Alla & Co has little intent on policing it and that's cool.. his playground, his rules. But claims of people being rated into oblivion are greatly exaggerated. Even obvious trolls tend to stay above the filter; individual posts may fall below but it's a rare individual who manages to have base rating of under 1.5

Awww, whats a matter patsy? Can't handle the bad man saying mean words about you? Cry me a fu[b][/b]cking river.

You think that Smash and Taco wouldn't have made it under the current system? Methinks you underestimate them both. Typical. I know for a fact you wouldn't have. I should have left your *** under the default filter. The forum would be a better place for it, but I foolishly thought you had something to offer.

P.s. Nice yous of bold there. Next time, make it all caps and big font too, maybe purple or something so it will really stick out.

Suuuuuuure it is sport. Smiley: sly That's why you take every available opertunity to do so. See, it's a peculiar dilemma here for you. You either admit that you go after me because I am held in higher regard than you, and am somewhat of a challenge, or you have to conceed that you prefer to go after what you think of as "easy" targets, probably due to lack of skill on your part. Either way I win. I wont tell them if you won't though, wouldn't wan't you to lose face...

Wow, Pat must be writing up a doozy of a reply. he's been lurking up there a while now. Probably having trouble seeing the keys for the tears of joy at being noticed.

Here's a prediction for you all. This thread will go on for a few more pages, then Patsy boy will decide to start snipeing from the shadows again the way he always does. then he'll leave, come back and whine about the one that got away, brag about his new learjet, and start the whole thing over again.

T-20 minutes and counting... Any time now you cowardly ****
