Message Subject Bad Karma Good Karma... Being used in place of thread rating?
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
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
nutkick
for no apparent reason?

I completely agree with you. In fact, I did the same thing when I was figuring out how it worked. It should not related to the thread, but the person., and I see still now, people are not "getting it". And, its understandable, wouldn't you need to be pretty familiar with the poster and all of their postings before you could even begin to apply karma points?


I have tried it out, I am just going to stick using the thread rating system to look for good threads, regardless of karma and how many colors of pins there are. I think I am going to be frugal about good karma and bad karma. Only give it if I notice the person is really really good or really really bad over a period of time, and I will really try to be careful about giving Karma based on a single thread, but on the user as a whole.
