The karma Whoring.

[WODIN]

In the 1720s in Holland there was an event now known as the Dutch Tulip crisis where in one day the value of the Tulip market went down 97%. This was due to two basic reasons. Grower hoarding to limit supply and voracious demand by consumers. At some point a broker in the Tulip market got very nervous since he was holding a shit load of Tulips and dumped them into the market and totally devalued the market by that now famous 97%

It reminds me much of how the karma system has been used on elite and how human nature to abuse a basic system designed to render a positive attribute can lead to skewing and chaos of any well thought out plan. Meaning that people will be exercise a fair amount of nonsensical greed no matter how meaningless the commodity.

In recent days EF SAM has had the mega-slam fixed and to further enhance the value of the karma system the ability to disable anyone who engages in the process of karma whoring has been added to the system. Therefor we request that the karma-whoring stop so that you may continue to participate in the karma system.

Should this practice not cease then your ability to participate in the system will be turned off.

bubble market
the tulip market was over financed in Holland, you could buy tullips on paper with out ever taking possesion, just like you can buy soybeans or hog bellies on todays futures market

everyone was involved in the tulip market and the banks would loan 90% of the percieved fair market value for the tulips based on their collor and how rare they were

what do you think people did with the cash they borrowed? they bought more tullips and then borrowed against these tullips so they could buy more tullips all on the speculation that these tullips would increase in value

it all worked until some dudes realised that nobody was even using these tulips and nobody was ever going to take possesion so they sold short, selling tullips they did'nt own and the banks could'nt keep financing the bubble

so the moral of the story is gimme green K, but only if you like this post

Why you pick as green color, bor?

 

[ohashi]

Wow, this is one serious karma thread; there must be some sort of an INside thing going on here.

 

[manny78]

Bodhisattva AKA Wodin was promotted to Elite Moderator exactly for this purpose. Don't ever underestimate his power.

 

[cccp]

so, exactly what is the difference between "karma whoring" and simply awarding karma to good posts? how does the new system figure out if the person is whoring?

"WE" figure this out

 

[tuc biscuit]

I heard Bodishattva will personally travel to the house (or condo in bullit's case) and administer a two hour long headlock to anyone found whoring, is this true?

 

[gonelifting]

"WE" figure this out

I don`t mean to disrespect but, I need rules. I mean I HAVE TO READ THE RULES. Where are they? How can one abide by something that is in a mod`s head?

It's all about common sense. We agree that some people, especially some "non-plat" members are abusing the system.

What's the big deal anyways? It's all in good fun.

A lot of people have gotten their karma by "whoring", so no matter what rules take effect now it will never be trully fair. (Unless karma was reseted and the whole thing started over)

If you take my karma abilites, then please ban me. I'd rather be put down, don't handicap me.

actually we must destroy bodhisvatta, and his anti karmactic antics. they are destroying the integrity of the karma nation

Do you log into elite and use the search function to find karma threads? Because that is the only type of threads I have seen you post on.

Kinda makes you wonder if someone made an alter just for karma.

well damn, you got me

what other reason might i have not to actively participate in the oh-so-interesting and enchanting threads on the chat board?

i am definitely an alter created for karma.

but it also makes me feel special to have been noticed by you guys and to have made enough of an impression on you to make you wonder about my posting habits.

LMAO....but 99% of your posts are here on the chat board, or on the gambling board, or the style board......and most looking for karma. I was just curious.

It isn't you that has left the impression....it is your karma, so keep up the good work.

[Citruscide]

If you need karma that bad, just send me a PM... I have over 10,000 points... I'd love to share... but you'll have to post something worth while...

C-ditty

 

[beastboy]

Another karma whore to the rescue?

I don't really care. It was an observation, hence a question.

Is that okay with you, bucko? Why do you care to know why I care?

Apparently it is me that has left the impression, since you are singling me out from all the karma whores. Plus you've taken the time to read all my posts to comment that most of them are karma related.

You find posting mindless useless stuff on a daily basis fun, I find karma whoring fun. Does that answer your question?

 

[alien amp pharm]

Why do you care to know why I care?

I only care because I would be absolutely devastated to see you post some pointless garbage on this thread that would make people roll their eyes and think to themselves 'why are people so concerned with what others do'.

That's what I do not want to happen. I would lose sleep over it.

 

[TheProject]

You certainly seem offended by the notion for some reason.

If you're entertained, that's fine...I'm just baffled by someone coming to Elite simply for karma.

Don't flatter yourself. I'm just observant and bored.

Alien....does that mean you don't see a purpose in ever asking a question....because all it really is, is a concern about something someone else is doing?

Oh shit...sorry another question.

 

[EF Sam]

Enough of this thread. Just please understand that we are going to start banning people from karma. Kind of a karma time out if you will for a week at a time. We want karma to be used for what it was ment for, not for how it has been going. Thank you.
