hm. at the current rate of hyperkarmic inflation, it seems obvious to me that karmofiscal policy is severely askew, and the karmomonetary policy simply...isnt there. the karma supply is massive, the karmomultiplier effect is out of fookin control, and the whole karmal economy is going gangbusters. its the end of days, verily...

Some of ya'll have wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on your hands.

i haven't read the replies yet so if this has been said, forgive me.

1. tax the person giving karma. 50% of the hit.... they'll be a lot less likely to hit consistantly.

2. make the time between hitting the same person longer.

1. Taxation will inhibit hitting at all. Some will still do it but it will become an oddity. Anyone who fails to return a hit will probably never get hit again. This will do nothing to restrict tight circles of hitters but only make them better organised. I think this is not a good direction to take.

2. Would slow things down but we need better than a slowing down. To halt inflation, we need that net K into the system is as near as possible to net K out of the system and, ideally, without inhibiting hitting. A slow leakage would give us a gradual deflation.

I predict that K power is going to be chopped drastically by way of a new Formula. There'll be at least three formulae, Plats, non-Plats and Chairman types. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a capping on K-Power for a while but it won't last.

The answer is simple and been done before. Revert all the karma to the date prior to the karma store opening. That happened before when a couple of clowns found the glitch in the karma store and created millions of fictitious karma into the system.
Everyone was reverted back to that point. That should happen again and is fair.

The people who paid for karma through the store should get that amount added to their totals b/c that's a legitimate transaction (that karma would be worth more at the new levels as well).

Then either:
Limit the amount of hits per day for a member

Set a max karma hitting number to say, 200 (this would end karma inflation cold alone)

Or set a daily maximum alotment of karma to be spent, say 5000 points or some arbitrary number that can be spent in karma.

Mistakes were made in the implementation of the karma system and right now the system is just broken. Just revert us back to that previous time we were kicked back to, people were bitching at us for the karma store heist and losing karma so its nothing new. Just identify the areas that have caused the system to be broke since that day and implement changes that you have identified as contributing to the karma inflation.
Whether being only to hit so much k with a post, limit the amount k hits that have karma, max alotment of karma to be spent etc...

With 30 hits per day and karma whoring networks, growth will become exponential making the karma system even more ridiculous than it is now.
So if we ever get karma poker, it wont be fun if heavyhitters have that much karma.

i have best idea BRR.

from now on charge for karma hits. something like .10 a hit. so whats that, 3.00 a day if you hit 30 times.

that'll bring a halt to this shit.

I am not readin through this whole thread so this may have been said....
Any how IMO you should leave it alone but obviously you george and Dig dont want to..
So maybe make it like proboards??? Where you can only hit once and hour or so.Maybe not be able to hit same person 2x in 24 hour time span....And if you are concerned about people k hits being same price as k store karmas then up the amounts in the karma store. And lower the amount for peoples k powers......
As far as taxing for post whoring that it crazy...Why bother having a c&c board????????????? Maybe up the admin "you can only post every so many ......." rule. People debate on this site on the threads and it may end up being 2 or 3 people only that are posting in the thread debating. Because they post about 18 posts per person in the same thread should they be treated like a "post whore"????? I think all is well the way it is as far as posting.

No offense, but I thought it was a stupid idea when all the focus on karma began.

Anybody could have seen this coming.

The karma system was fine the way it was. When this website tried making a few extra bucks by putting money value on karma it was bound to turn ugly.

Have you not noticed how the board has went downhill? All the "new" features such as karma this karma that has made the board immature and stupid. A lot of vets have left because it is ridiculously stupid here now and newbies don't want to take the time sorting thru all the features nor put up with shit like bombs, redding, etc.
