[quote:Artlicious:MV8xNTk3MDYxXzI2NDAzMjY0Xzk4NzIzQUQ=] [quote:Artlicious] I just realized something. It is my opinion that Trinity, possibly, does not care too much about the negative karma's going around or how they are being abused. [b]Why?[/b] Because the karma system was implemented for one main reason... to get GLP members to police each other better, to help GLP stay clean, legal and online! [b][u]Good Karma has been set up to help:[/u][/b] 1) Cut down on copyright violations, which can be very bad for GLP. 2) Cut down on death threats, web hacking threats and threats of illegal activity. 3) Encourage unique topics to be posted and hopefully be important enough to be pinned. From what we know so-far, Bad Karma really has no purpose and is ripe for abuse from members. [/quote] I keep putting myself out there, to try and add my input and help, but I keep getting negative karma's.. And for no reason at all really, other than people want to give them out.. LOL Check the reasons people have left on my karma list.. at least that's good to laugh at I suppose.. ? [/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?
