User ID: 1311280 United States 08/16/2011 05:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me" Phillipians 4:13 "I shall call upon the name of the Lord who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from mine enemies" Psalm 18:2-4 "In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God."

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? I think you bring out some very good points with your post. And I would like to add some of my ideas also. I think this “karma” system probably was intended for good reasons, but any system that gives people another method of judging others, or the merits of some posts and ideas over others is always going to be a problem. It just gives people another method of trying to force others to think the same as they do. Therefore it limits our unique and God given individuality of expressing ourselves even when trying to share our sometimes original ideas with others. The worst part of this forum is that so many tend to think that they are expressing their intelligence when they judge others, especially by putting them down or insulting them or any other form of verbal attack. The BEST quality of this website is that it provides a method where we can ALL share our ideas. Some people who have more knowledge in certain areas can share their ideas with others who at the moment do not have much experience at all in those same areas, and yet by sharing the ideas it allows us all to ‘catchup’ by the information provided by the more knowledgeable poster. That’s always a good thing. But most importantly this idea to incorporate ‘karma points’ to GLP tends to ‘water down’ the word and real meaning of the principle of KARMA, in the minds of some who don’t realize just how important the KARMA Principle really is.. Karma is not just another word for ‘opinion’ or ‘whatever I think’. Karma is a very important and powerful Universal Spiritual Principle created by the Creator of the Universe; God Himself. It is intended to teach each of us, (regardless how long it may take, even countless lives) to learn to live our lives and not harm anyone else. Jesus’ message of the Golden Rule;“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It is a formula to remember for leaning how not to have to go through more lives (as in REINCARNATION) where one has to come back to earth and live life after life by facing similar problems that were not learned in the previous life. KARMA is God’s total Universal Justice System, WHICH NONE OF US CAN ESCAPE. It is a fact of life, and to not believe it has nothing to do with its reality, it just means the person not believing in it has more to learn. This world’s “justice system” seems most often like it is just another reflection of the devil’s jokes. Its a place where we find criminals sitting in the seat of supposed ‘justice’ allowing other criminals to continue their crimes, and only punishing those with less ‘power’ or connections to be severely punished and most often for no offense at all. At this time this is certainly a weird world, but, if we learn what KARMA really means, we can learn why it is spiritually important to us all, and also how to avoid more KARMA.. which is: (Just more lives after this one by reincarnating over and over.) ............ |

I found that out by trying to do it to a certain shill. I think it will just take some experience to decide whether to 1* a thread or bad karma the poster, or both. I'm not clear on whether AC's can post karma, though. Since they can't have the same done to them, it doesn't seem fair to let them. |

Karma, man... it's all about the Karma! lol :glee3: No worries my friend :) I made up for the negative ones by doing some copyright notifications, LOL. I'm not worried about it, in the end it will balance out and unfortunately, I think it will likely remain negative/positive no matter what just because of the motives behind some posters. Good for you for using your karma wisely! I think it's important to do that. Yesterday when my thread was pinned it had a green pin and I got a lot of slack for it. What people didn't realize is that the thread was pinned by another member who was spreading good karma by pinning it using their karma points. What a good random act of kindness! Now it's my job to pass on that act of kindness.
