I also find it funny that when GS hits me with Green for approving my post, I get 100. If a Karma whore disagreed with the same post I could end up with a 5k deduction (Or more!)

George, the bookie forum is already good as is. I'd rather see you raise the tax on karma donations in the karma store.

With great power comes great responsibility. No 'Karma whore' with a 5000 hit would do such a thing unless you were being of exceedingly poor conduct.

Agreed, Bookie tax is getting towards mean.

LOL at slat asking 3 questions about K after saying he can't believe people care about it so much.

Slat, just think if we didn't have K...That would seriously cut down on your E-flirting ability.

Its not the size of my karma its the ocean motion!

Anybody else think #6 is going to cause people to make good posts but not award the other good ones?

Exactly, that is the problem with the inflation that has happened.

GS,
You say you want to help the vets on the anabolic boards out. So I say, instead of focusing on karma, I think we should look at having something similar to the chairman of the board memberships to recognize all the vets (who are not mods) who consistently prove themselves by giving solid advice and helping others on the anabolic, training, and diet forums. We already have crown karma symbols… I say give the selected vets diamonds or something different to distinguish the experienced vets from the others.

And it needs to be something were ALL the proven vets should get the title. There should also maybe be some sort of requirement, like being with the site for a year or something. And not just one person should sit and decide who should get the vet titles, but have everybody who thinks they deserve it put in to be decided amongst all the mods (not mods of the chat boards).

Then the karma doesn’t matter so much because you know who is an experienced vet as opposed to some joe that’s just talking out his ass. I know there was some elite mentor thing that might have been similar in idea to this, but no one even knows who those guys were.

9. Move the decimal point two place to the left for members with more than 1,000 Karma. This should really not make anyone upset since everyone's Karma is impacted equally.


LMAO, someone hasn't passed 5th grade math...

999 = 999 karma (so 999, is the same as someone with 100,000)
100,000=1,000
1,000,000=10,000

Stupid idea, fire the person who suggested this one.

Right, the idea is to inhibit pointless hitting instead of rewarding quality posts.

Who defines a quality post. On the Anabolic Board it is once thing. On C&C it is another. So on and so on.

Everyone starts at zero K. In other words all things are created equal.

It seems to me that people have an interest in increasing their karma. That is how the ponzi scheme came about. I didn't partake in it at all. What I did see was a group of people who were spending a lot of time on this site trying to get karma rich. The people with the most karma are the people who spend the most time on the site. If someone wants more karma they could just spend more time on the site getting to know more people. It almost seems like there are going to be penalty's attached to it now.

I guess I don't see it as pointless hitting. I see it as people telling their friends that they support them.

If you really want to regulate karma you should have a joint task force of admin who approve the karma donations. In other words the member would have to eplain why they wanted to give someone Karma each and every time. Then the admin would look over the validity of the case presented and hand down a decision.

Sounds a little rediculous doesn't it?
