[quote:Anonymous Coward 1505261:MV8xNTk3MDYxXzI2Mzk5MjYzX0U4NEIwNEEz] [quote:TrixieMama] I agree OP. I have received several unpleasant ratings from people in response to a kind, loving thread I posted that was pinned from which people made assumptions about my character instead of focusing on the thread itself and using the rating buttons or just posting their disapproval on the thread. It's quite sad actually when you think about it but then again as with any system you will always have people who use it incorrectly. Thank you for pointing that out. I hope your thread is noticed. Blessings :hf: [/quote] The karma system may not be very accurate. Some people just like going after good posters to lower their rating. Jealousy abounds. And some people just like causing problems where there were none in the first place. [/quote]

I have noticed several posters with bad Karma points... posters that I am familiar with their posting style and wondered why on Earth anyone would bad Karma
them
.
IMO, this is a potential problem with the Karma system... people using the Karma feature in place of the thread rating system. Using this as a way to voice disagreement or disapproval of a single thread or post seems to defeat the idea somehow.
Have I misunderstood how the Karma points are designed to be used...
or is it okay to
for no apparent reason?
