[quote:AlasBabylon:MV8xNTk3MDYxXzI2NDAxNTUzXzEzODgzQkMz] [quote:krave] I bet the site mod didnt think about the fact people would get upset when this new karma points system was implemented. When i pointed out what i thought was problems with it. the only response i got was: 'i find it amusing' lol imo its a really weird thing to implement into a forum, perhaps its just a way to entice non paying members into joining? essentially a money making scheme? who knows! but the fact remains, it is upsetting some members [b]WAY TO LOOK AFTER YOUR PAYING MEMBERS!![/b] [/quote] That'll teach us. Can't use the prizes for free upgrades when we are already paying for our upgrade. I just signed on as a paying member..now I'm being voted down while AC trolls roam around free. . [/quote]
Original Message
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?
