really basic question about karma

I know it's been around for a while, but still I don't get it.

Does it do anything? Can you trade all your karma in at the end of a certain time period for "Spellwin bucks" and get free Triple Threat or something?

Not kidding. I don't get it. People seem to clamor for it, to barter and trade, to hand it out like papal blessings... (and of course to slam anonymously--does that count for anything, by the way?)
 
I got a tub of protein powder from George when I hit the 3 bar mark.

What exactly is the "3 bar mark"?

3 little green dots.

I am just kidding about getting the protein.

Karma is bullshit.
 
It's a aphrodisiac! Since I got up to funky karma I try to dry hump every females leg! It has gotten so bad, that my dogs are planning to take me to the doctors to get fixed! Dam pets! No respect for their owner. Just because I like to rub my groin on chicks legs now, does that give them the right to have me denutted?

So ... no real purpose? That's what I suspected but thought: "No, I must be wrong."

Because then it just seems--as I've wondered in pm's to a certain poster--like a psych experiment. Ya know?

Like gerbil pellets, green if you're good and red if you're bad. And everyone attaches significance to it (let's trade! please gimme gimme! I got some, but you gotta earn it... hey, I got green! damn, I got red!)
 
Bumping, 'cause still baffled.

What's up with all the begging? The anonymous slamming? It's just colored boxes under your name or someone else's, correct?


Mommakin's approach to karma, I get. Just a cheerful way to say good mornin'. And I understand about wanting to tell someone privately: "hey, great post!" but pm-ing requires too much commitment....

But otherwise, not getting it.
 
I would say that karma is more of a gauge to assist mods in banning someone. If someone has a good amount of bad karma you can pretty much guess how the community as a whole feels about him or her. I think the goal was to control the some of the flaming and insult wars that were going on earlier. I just want to say that karma may or may not be an accurate way of estimating how a member behaves towards everyone else, because strongchick got lots of bad karma for political statements she may or may not have said. I don't think she really has a history of insulting people.

I am one of the biggest assholes on this board, yet my karma is just fine. :) Never really been apart of those little karma orgies, so that reason is out the door. Hmmmmm.........

Guess people actually enjoy some of the things I post.

Not wanting to sidetrack this thread, but:

I think "Comrade Strongchick" is positively restrained compared to the "wrath" she gets. You seen the shit she TAKES? I've seen actual posts that have read simply: "I hope she dies".

I've seen her likened to Hitler. I've seen every cheap personal insult you can imagine. I've seen a call for her banning--a poll, for crying out loud.

Among a certain type of man, a woman who expresses opinions on politics and world issues and does so with more clarity and insight than they can is the most hated person of all.
 
Strongchick is an interesting person. I disagree on several things but she uses her brain. I wish more people did.:rolleyes:
 
you would have got the email circular about its intended purpose

if not, check the news section of the site its probably there
 
Karma was started as a way to rate post quality, but it's been gamed. After some time here you know who makes quality posts, fun posts and who is just out to start trouble.
Besides you need extremely negative karma (what is it, 6-7 red bars?) to get banned automatically. More likely to get banned way before that for posting crap.
And I wouldn't worry about SC, she won't get banned.
 
I think that's a good explanation, Island Son. It had a purpose, but it's sorta been subverted or something. We get a sense of everyone's posting "voice" without the green and red boxes.

I think now it's the gerbil-pellet thing I was talking about. Or a popularity contest. All the begging!--it's just weird.
 
Posting again. Island Son's post, I think (unless I am mistaken??) is right.

What it's turned into is a bunch of supposedly rational adults begging for colored boxes that appear on a screen. Just... why?
 
karma is a way to show appeciation for someones insight or intellect. it can also be used to send messages like, "fuck you dumb cunt" or "shut your faggoty piehole(i recieved that one). or you can send hate mail so to speak anonymously like, "i smell monkey juice, go back to africa, or something like that." strongchick recieved that one.
its kind of like email, except there's no accountability.

So why do they beg for it?

Believe me, Sponge, I understand about the "sending appreciation." (That's where all my karma goes.)

But there's like 10 threads a day begging for it, trading it, etc. If it's just praise or whatever... then the begging is sad.

indeed.


I personally don't care about any of it, and I kind of like seeing the offensive stuff.
I wish there were a way in real life to know what people would really like to say to me without the nasty accountability thing.

I also really like chickens. the feathered things.

im sure you can figure out the begging part, it falls in line with the reason why most of "us" are here.

everyone likes llamas... dumbass.

and yes, the only thing closer to truth serum I've encountered is G - and I hear E gets people more open too.

that and beatings. but that doesn't go over well in public. nor private.

penis.

That's why everyone's here?

well, that's why everyone is "here" in that it is largely the driving force of human nature.

as for why people are on elite - the reasons are wide and varied - but yes, boredom fits squarely in there.
