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

[blut wump]

I'm at a loss to fathom how they could stick us with this system after all the feedback we gave.

I am happy people are speaking up, that's for sure. Naturally, I'm going to be upset about this change, both as a karma leaderboard member and a bookie. My karma lifelines are being cut from both sides. People won't be hitting or betting as much. This makes swole sad.

But this change makes NO sense at all. The point was to stop rapid karma inflation so the little guys can catch up. Well, how are they going to catch up if their karma goes down whenever they give a hit? It's all relative.

I suggested almost year back that only the big hitters (members with over 100K) would have to give out their own points if they wanna "approve" a post. That would have stopped the K whoring.

You think you're sad, how about Gotmojo? It won't take long before he sees his contribution in the Pic forum ain't worth shit. He actually wastes his own time to give porn to a group of freeloaders.

I rarely went into the POW forum but I used to try to remember to flip gotmojo a hit every once in a while. POW posting is traditionally a thankless task. I guess it has to be seen as a vocation.

Good porn vid post in Pic forum should be worth 100 times the post in C&C's roll call thread, yet it isn't, and never was.

For those who come here looking for knowledge on steroids, they can only gauge the advice they get based on the respondant's signup date and karma.

Sign up date or karma will never be a good way to judge someones knowledge.
Read peoples posts. When someones posts stand out to you start researching their other posts to confirm your feelings.
After that ask other people you trust on the board about that person.
You are dealing with your health. Take your time and do your dudiligence.

I think you will find a lot of the people on this board started out in the AAS forum and have moved on for various reasons.

Exellent post.
Now you can have a new member who may be an HRT doctor. Who is going to give him Karma for a good post? Nobody.
You will have someone with a wealth of knowledge who will have newbie karma. It doesn't make sense.
Further, who would step up and donate their karma to a great contributor like AAP again? I personally donated 100,000 karma to help him out. A lot of others did too.
The new system essentially eliminated all the good will on this board!

...and if no one will hit them because of the cost? The new members will be stuck at 0 karma power forever.

Good job of throwing out the baby with the bathwather.

Great post. I will not be hitting you with karma for it though. Don't be offended. I will never donate k for a good post. Its a waste of k or my money should I say.

I wonder if I am still getting my 4 month free platinum membership for my profile!??!

You've been here long enough to know that people new to either this board or messageboards in general do not know this.

If that wasn't the case, the anabolic board wouldn't have 3 posts on the first page asking the exact same question every day.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I know you're right, but that doesn't change the way it is.

No..but you are getting a t-shirt, a thong, and a discount code coupon for renewing your plat.

Yours in Karma,
