Can you explain to me why you don't like the changes to karma?

i liked the 40/10 system much better
i dont like the fact that nonplat k power was slashed in half, along with the # of hits they can give, nonplats definaltely add to the site, why penalize them?
you should reward plats but not punish nonplats

If I rub my cawk will it make me plat?

Hammy has the meat of it. It great for Plats to get the boosts you mention. I think they just overcooked the desire for greater disparity between the Plats and non-Plats.

I agree with you that I would take the 40/10 system over a 30/15 system anyday.

And if I had the choice I'd give the plats back their 20/40 system or whatever and not decrease their K power.

But given the situation we have now, more power for plats, more hits, less spreading, I think its a fair tradeoff. Really, how many non plats do you have here that really care about karma much? Like I said, I can count them on 1 hand. And i'll say it again, all these great benefits ARE available to non plats, the choice is up to them.

I have remarked on the bias against non-Plats before. Speaking for myself, I purchased some valuable e-books and was given the opportunity to use this site. I am no free-loader.

Many non-Plats are strong, informed contributors. Some are bums. I could say the same for the Plats. The few times I was "bullied" .. it was a Plat.

I give karma a lot, especially when I laugh. The more I give, the better I feel. Cutting the value of the k I give doesn't harm me ... it short changes the witty original poster.

HOWEVER ... this site belongs to the owner and he sets the rules. He is the Boss. That's life and good business. I'm still going to give out my k, try to add value to the site, learn and grow.
