Why I Think Jopheal Should Rate Me Up 100 Times.
Because I will find him a list of 100 of my posts for his easy rating pleasure.
Because even if he rated me up 100 times it probally wouldnt move my karma overly much.
Because I agree that his son is an adorable angelic child.
Because I like my name in Blue.
Because I'm better than Neph.
Last but not least!
Because I'm Al'Katie!
Last but not least!
100+ atleast I stopped counting, but no it didn't move your karma. I was thinking it would atleast be a +.o1 lol

Now would be the time that, were I katie, (shudder) I would heap a nasty insult on Cami. I admit that having a side kick, or a flunky is nice, but having one of this low caliber is detrimental to one's standing among the forum regulars.

Because i've never seen my name blue. Oh also because my score's been stuck at 2.65 forever and a day. Until I saw this thread didn't even care about karma for a while. Also, I have a knack for bombing my karma every time I start to get higher up.
Who in the hell are you?

One day, many years ago, I had what you might call one of those rare fantastic days where everything seems to go your way. I had just scored a new job, and it was my last day at my old one. I woke up before the alarm went off feeling completely refreshed. The girl lying next to me not only remembered my name, but seemed happy to be there. I took a nice hot shower, and when I got out she gave me morning head. After I'd finished shaving and getting dressed, I went down to find a fresh pot of coffee, and eggs and bacon cooking on the oven. We had a pleasant breakfast, said our goodbyes and I was off to work.
Work was work, but being as it was my last day and I was sick of the place it made it that much better. Everyone was sad to see me go, and a couple co-workers took me out to lunch at Hooters. I got play from a waitress, and she casually slid me her number before we headed out. As I said my farewells at the end of the day, the boss of the company actually seemed to have a tear in his eye. He told me how that if my new job didn't work out, all I had to do was make a call and I could be back the next day.
On my way home, I got a call from an old college buddy. I ended up meeting him at a bar & grill, where he bought me dinner and we told stories about old times. After a few drinks, he emotionally confessed that I was an inspiration to him, and because of my example he had straightened up his shallow life and was now on the path to happiness with his fiance and success at his job. On the way out, the waitress winked at me.
I arrived home and found that my neighbor, whom I had problems with, was pulling out with a Uhaul truck. No more noisy inconsiderate neighbor. I walked in the door whistling a merry toon, and decided to sit down and check my favorite website. I had made a clever post the night before, and wanted to see if I had any responses.
Low and behold, I found that I had been rated to "decent". WTF?!!11 The vein throbbed in my forehead as a sudden case of heartburn came on. The phone rang, it was the girl from the night before. She had a heart to heart with her previous boyfriend and they had decided to make another go of it. As I stumbled into my bathroom looking for some Tums, I found that my toilet had backed up and smelled of a foul stench I could only describe as "darkuwa-like". After I had finished cleaning up, I went outside for a breath only to discover that my neighbor hadn't moved it all, he was returning with a truck-load of Git's relatives, fresh from the border. I yelled out "Why, oh Bob, why hast thou forsaken me!?!"
I've been a hollow shell of a man ever since.

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Are you serious??
First, if you are really concerned about your post ratings, try to use proper english. Gooder and ungood are not words.
Second, if your self concept is so shallow that some random person's opinion of your post actually affects your self-image, I highly suggest you get some professional counseling.
When you take time to make a well thought out post it is quite reasonable to hope that it is received well. On the other hand, it is not reasonable for that to impact your self-image or to devastate you. "It means that you could feel good about yourself and other people will think that you are good and you do good posts." I honestly hope that you can feel good about yourself regardless of what others in the chat rooms think about you. After all you have friends in real life whose opinion of you should be based on much more substantial things than a post. If you and the people who surround you in real life aren't as important as some random posters on a message board, you may want to take some time to think about whether that is a good way to go through life. Just a thought.
(In response to Kakar's post)
Very funny.
Kakar gets my vote. Unimportant, but he gets it nonetheless.

Actually that answer could have been worse. I really was expecting something excessively unfunny. Nice to be pleasantly surprised once in a while.
But if I have ten words or less then i would describe you as...
"The unhung homosexual guy who digs incest."

And an exceptionally boring and convoluted one to boot! One day, in the distant future, when you have 7000 posts like everyone else on this forum, then I want you to remember that Tacosid said that post number 42 sucked monkey nuts.

Incase you're wondering (although you're probably not), I rated down the OP.
I feel that I'm helping to prove your point, Joph, and your karma is all but invincible anyways.

But then again, don't listen to me because my sarcasm filter is clogged, and I'm ungood at noticing it.

Whoo-hoo, you noticed!
Karma is a tool that can be used to elicit a reaction, whether good or bad, deftly or hamfisted is up to the individual. Knowing how people react and how people react to how you react is all part of the game. It can also be used to gauge a response.
The thing that truly strokes my e-***** is the fact that when I get rated up by indulgent regulars it causes certain individuals large amounts of frustration.
No need to give or withhold some karma reward for my reply just recognizing the innate superiority of my brief but concise reply with a 'you win' is enough of a stroke, save yourself the carpal tunnel inducing kamping.

Omfg a Bhodi post that wasn't 10 pages long! Its the seventh sign of the Apocolypse.
FUck that, it's the weekend.
Personally i couldnt care less about the karma system.
Why?
First because i just dont care if people like what i post or not, not everyone will agree with things i post thats life, not everyone likes chocoalte ice cream mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Secondly because its not a fair system, people will rate up or down
A: For the sheer hell of it.
B: Because they agree or dissagree with something someone said. (i should add regardless of whether they deserve rating)
C: Because a poster is their friend or enemy.
D: Because they're in a clique and clique's stick together when one is upset, regardless of who's right or wrong.
