Karma
 

How did I not know about this? To all the lovely people who've left me karma/kind comments over the past 2.5 years, thank you. I wasn't being ignorant :o

Is there a function to reply to them individually? I'm certainly going to use karma going forward.

Re: Karma
 

You can send them a private message or, do what many of us do, find a random unrelated quote of theirs and give them a nice karma message. ;)

Re: Karma
 

I found the karma messages purely by chance last year too. I was going through a horrible time at home and it just made everything better.

Re: Karma
 

Sorry to hear you were having a rough time, the messages I found made me smile too. Of course, I'm now in danger of checking obsessively!

Re: Karma
 

Karma messages? I haven't seen these!

Re: Karma
 

Go look in your profile.

Re: Karma
 

Go to the 'my profile' bit on the blue bar, and underneath all the threads you are subscribed to and have replies you haven't yet seen there is a list of the [people that have given you karma, and the post you were given karma for.

Re: Karma
 

Can also be used to send snarky comments if you don't want to be bothered with using PM.

Not that I've ever done anything like that, obviously :angel:

Re: Karma
 

That's a really weird way of saying 'if you're a cowardly wanker ..."

Re: Karma
 

The difference between PMs & karma messages is that PMs are saved & can be reread.

I find I forget who I've given karma to ... & what I've given it for, though it's usually a post that either makes me laugh or nod my head vigourously.

It's often the same posters, but I try to vary mine a little so as to avoid the dreaded "You must spread karma around before you give it to this poster AGAIN!" message.... :lol:

Re: Karma
 

Fusty ,boring old mod toddles on by :zzz:

Anyone on the receiving end of karma or private messages of that ilk can let a moderator know if they wish. Either forward the PM or copy and paste said karma message and let a mod have that. That's not to be a big girls blouse but if it is bothersome in some way best let a mod know.

:thumbup:

G'won then. Have some karma .

Re: Karma
 

That doesn't stop the receipient sending a suitably worded PM in reply. :sneaky:

Re: Karma
 

Well, of course.

Re: Karma
 

Wanker karma sent. :)

Re: Karma
 

:lol:

Re: Karma
 

Now if we could turn those Karma points into air miles Id be happy :rofl:

Re: Karma
 

Air Koryo might be willing.

Re: Karma
 

Is there someplace one can cash in their Karma points? I am willing to accept a percentage.;)

Re: Karma
 

You used to be able to do stuff with karma, it went when we had the last big 'upgrade'.

Re: Karma
 

I seem to remember a place to "invest" your points?

Re: Karma
 

Yes, there was a virtual stock exchange using karma points.

Re: Karma
 

I send a lot of Karma, but probably only receive one back for about every ten I send.

I have long suspected that many BE'ers don't know about Karma. :unsure:

Re: Karma
 

I think most people send karma to say 'well done' 'nice comment' 'I agree' type of thing. A few others prefer to use it in a passive aggressive way such as 'you're wrong' 'do you not proof read your posts' 'look at the typos' etc. Personally I treat karma as a gift not a rebuke. The joys of BE and opinions.

Re: Karma
 

Some of us also kind of forget about it half the time. Then when I do go to award it, it doesn't let me because apparently I have to 'spread it around' like I'm easy or something. Honestly ...

Though if I was going to make reference to the 'passive aggressive' things you mentioned, I'd do it as a reply to the post. Because I'm not a pussy.

Re: Karma
 

Would it offend you if I said I could be offended you were using 'pussy' in a derogatory way? Send karma in reply. :lol:

Re: Karma
 

Are you saying that's what I did, or just saying you're going to say that that's what I did?

I could have made that more confusing, actually.

Re: Karma
 

Not sure you could. Not long woken up and haven't had coffee but have had a couple of headache pills, comprehension levels aren't the highest. :lol:

Re: Karma
 

I'm sorry I offended your cat :p

Re: Karma
 

You won't get grabbed then.

Re: Karma
 

Thankful for small hands mercies.

Re: Karma
 

Is anyone checking their karma received these days? :unsure:

Re: Karma
 

Yes. I might start responding in a similar fashion one day.

Re: Karma
 

Karma karma karma chemeleon, you come and go..

(Sorry, Boy George moment!)

Re: Karma
 

:lol:

Boy George songs are a sure thing to get you karma:nod:

Re: Karma
 

Re: Karma
 

Coma karma deserved:thumbsup:

Re: Karma
 

I am. I love karma!

Re: Karma
 

You're just a karma whore. :rofl:

Re: Karma
 

I've only recently stumbled upon the bit on our profiles where we can see what karma we've received - until then, I'd just been using it to give blue squares to nice/wise people! :lol:

I'll start using it properly now. :nod:

Re: Karma
 

"Using it properly"? :unsure: I have no idea what that means. :lol:
