Making changes to how Karma works - we want your feedback.

[Mr. dB]

I have a non- K suggestion (while I have your attention).

Is it possible to create a calendar like thread (especially in the Women's Forum), so people can add their show (figure, bb, powerlifting) events with details just in case people would like to attend. Threads about meet-ups can be there as well.

Just a thought.

I can think of another use for a calendar feature in the Women's Forum...

Raise the prices of bombs and plat memberships etc. (EDIT: through the karma store that is.) I like that more than adjusting the karma point system.

Bloody hell!

It would be fair warning for the rest of us.

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?

You and I seem to be on the same page here. I think as long as people can buy and bet karma, there will always be people who have a ton of it. The only thing you can do is either put a cap on it so once you reach a certain point you cant get any more (but that takes out the betting and buying), or make it where only mods and admin can give it out (but then you have people getting overlooked for making good post).

People that threaten to drop their membership because they loose some green dots is... (What do you C&C Folks say?.....) GEIGH

I believe it to be just as "geigh" as trying to regulate those same green dots.

I for one come back to this site on a daily basis to "hit" people and encourage them.
What you may not realize is I see them ALL on nonpaying sites. What is the difference between the other sites and this one. For one this is the only pay site that I visit. Another is the karma feature. Its fun to gamble and sent notes to friends.
The fun is being taken out of it so why would I pay for it? As a business owner I have to justify my expenses. Its being responsible.

In the future you will not be getting green for me on posts like this. While I find them hilarious they are not "quality" posts

The irony here is I mentioned how this whole concept would make me rethink my platinum feature and I just updated my account today to reup.

Stupid Murphy's Law...

I think its all drama and should be scrapped

Harping back onto #6, imagine two guys, A and B, with equal Karma. A helps B and B gives Karma to A. A little later B helps A and A gives Karma to B.

After these exchanges they each have less Karma than when they started. #6 discourages hitting.
