I have suggestion for the karma system. How about members can also give not just positive karma to good members but also negative karma to spammers trolls,ETC. Frogboy Kyro can we have a new option to give negative karma?

Nah, they've said there's nothing for Sins to make forum ranking meaningful, so they won't do it

Ahhh i was like you mumble...i thought the standard was up to +2....Cool..now if they would only put the rank back on instead of member number i'd be happy.

Now, it Karma would make my colony ships go faster, I'll start having a mooch signature at the end of every post asking people to give me karma if they liked my post. I'd be fine with my 18 or a 0 though.


Okay, let's try this again.

If someone has a certain value in their karma pool... their actual gameplay 'features' would be automatically enhanced by that edge alone? right?
Darn, that's why even my best hyperwarp engines never seem to keep up with DreadLords!

Hey, what about valid spending Tokens equals Karma. Nah, that would be a nightmare for SD customers' service too. And moderators could fall into a depressive mindstate sooooo bad, forums participation would become a huge mess.

I fear I would end up with a negative score.



Why negative karma is a bad idea:

"I don't like your attitude, Frogboy." *gives negative karma*

"You know what, you're right, but you argue too much, and I don't like that." *gives negative karma*

"Wtf? Just because you know more than me doesn't give you the right to correct me." *gives negative karma*

"OMG WHY DID YOU HAND MY ASS TO ME IN THAT OTHER THREAD? I HATE YOU!!!!111" *gives negative karma*

"I don't like your name. It sounds retarded." *gives negative karma*

"You have too many karma points." *gives negative karma*

Making negative Karma available, will make the average Election for office look like an amiable chat between life long friends, compared to the war that would break out on the forum(s).

I'd like to say to everyone, that this thread is dead. So no necromancy please.

Doesn't look dead to me.

-1 Karma for calling this thread dead

What about Necrophil< explicit content removed >?

If it went w/o a comment for 6 months, then I'd agree. It seems alive and well Mr Reptile.

Bonus Karmas to all concerned for bumping this up even if sethpenguin thinks it shouldn't.

Number of bytes uploaded by members into the library = validated Karma points!
Lemme count, , .. , .. , yup, i'd certainly get some more!

And since i'm stuck with the silly #13 (superstitious, at times)... i could use an extra favor once i finally get to zip CoSH version 05-B and distribute it - all free.

Bah, I wish I could have been stuck at #13.

Ya know, I once dated a girl who was born in Vorhees, NJ on the 13th... When I found that out my jaw dropped and she didn't understand. Even after I gave the hint about what Jason's last name was, she was still clueless.

/sigh

No, she wasn't blond either!!!
