It would seem that the karma calculations are a bit off as Fishtales is showing zero karma power, zero karma hits, despite having nearly two solid lines of green and he is a PLAT with over 9,000 posts. Whereas my karma power has dropped by 100 points but I have gained an extra 2 crowns (4 total) on 650 posts and I am non-plat.
If you are a paying member and have contributed over 9,000 posts to the EF community, then how do you expect this particular member to contribute further when you have taken away one of the means for him to do so. Branding them a big
ZERO is a slap in the face to someone who deserves better.
If you want to control the amount of karma going back and forth, then fine, but at least give members, a paying member in this case, a starting point to shoot from rather than ZERO.
ps: Pic is untouched by me incase you were thinking that way.
