Hi all,


This might be a stupid Question but what are you all talking about with this Karma?

I see that people have it on each post that they post, I have looked about the site and see no section on it to read up on, plz help a noob out..

Click 'my profile' and go see dude :-)

Rich.

The idea is that if someone provides really useful information you can reward them with Karma.

Just click on the Karma link on the bottom right of the message - a bit below the stars and blue box's.

Stars represent the posting you have done on the site. Blue box's represent the Karma you have been awarded.

However - beware - a lot of blue box's does not necessarily mean a reputable person. I went to the lounge area and simply said hi and a load of people suddenly dropped Karma on me for saying hi - Kind of crazy in them rooms.

I think I would trust some-one more with just a few karma box's and a lot of posts rather than some-one like me where I have more Karma than posts. Its a pity you can't reject Karma that has been given to you. (unless they are a moderator of course).

hope this helps.

Been here, done that...

Its changed a little since then....no longer anonymous and more Karma hits show in the profiles. Basic thing is the same and it remains as pointless as ever.

You doubting thomas you! give me back all the karma i sent you then!

I gave some of it back

You have to agree though that if the point is to show who are the "reputable" posters, its failing dismally. I say we should enable negative Karma, but its not a popular suggestion

I think the problem is that lots of people have no idea what it is...............after all it took me a whole year to even NOTICE it!! I sat for all that time wondering what the heck those little boxes and stars were......blonde I hasten to add! Posts like these do give me some comfort though that I am not the only dozey-beggar on here.

You have to wonder though - there are so many Karma-floosies!! I think I should become one too . I gave out tonnes of Karma a month ago and do you know how many People returned Karma to me? 2 people . So anyone who feels sorry for me.........please feel free to send me some.

you may be new, but you have loads!

I got some when I announced the birth of my little baby - I do think that is somewhat drastic to get some though

You really know how to sell yourself don't ya Airseir?

PMSL!

(... I tried to give you more karma but I "must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ClareBC again".)

happy to see my blatant hint (and of course, the pix of her cuteness) worked!!

Not only is Willmore not a karma floosie (love the phrase TiaRibbon!!) but she disabled her karma option months ago. Willmore clearly has healthy self esteem and doesn't need our votes


But for the rest of us .....

Thank you soooo much guys!!


I really am a fully-fledged Karma floosie now!!

Tried to return some, but gotta "spread it around" again . I won't forget you though .

LOL....I would never say no to receiving karma if the sender felt it was deserved!
