bring it back so that it could just be removed a few months from now or a year from now?
it's the internet.  you know there will be drama eventually.

I say remove the whole karma system altogether.  if you like somethinging, say "thank you."  if you don't, tell the person they are an idiot.

I am always amused how everyone posts when they give someone karma but never posts when they smite someone.

This.

I very rarely let people know when I give them +k, and get bumped all the time without knowing who or why.

I vote we just let Rich back.
Here here.  I really could give a rats ass about Karma or smiting for that matter so it's a non-issue in my mind.

And Dan, that avatar kicks serious ass.
+K?
:-D
Everything is connected, because it's all being created by this one consciousness. And we are tiny reflections of the mind that is creating the universe.

Can we talk about the Dead?  I'd love to talk about the fucking Grateful Dead, for once, can we please discuss the Grateful FUCKING Dead!?!?!?!

surprisingly my smite ratio was almost zero.  I'm ok w/ it either way.  I was going to suggest this for 1 or 2 'paugers:

I say we bring back the smite but also increase the moderators' salaries...

You're entitled to your opinion but I'm going to laugh at it.

I say we bring back the smite but also increase the moderators' ban quota...

you have a quota you have to hit? What happens if you don't ban enough people? Do you lose some mod powers?

I've always wondered what it would be like to have "mod power." It scares me a little. What would I do with it? I may have a tendency to run amok and mod threads about kittens just because I'm a dog person!!
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Oh, and I voted "yes." I wasn't here when smite existed, but it sounds fun!

Not a fan of the smite, it makes people paranoid and whiny.

But, I don't think our fans do happily lap it up, I think they go online and talk about how it was a bad show.

What if we brought smite back but somehow made it so you are forced to list a reason or cite a specific post before the smite goes through? This might cause more drama, perhaps, but it would also probably make people think twice about smiting someone... no more trigger-happy smiters?
Just two whiskies, officer.

I'm not sure if I followed this thread correctly, but what guys are saying is that Dave Thomas sold crack in inner-city DC in the mid-80's, right?
