Hey folks. Just playing around with the server settings, noticed something called Karma. Basically, you can give fellow board members either a positive or negative rating, an their overall Karma is reflected every time they post. The only rules are that you must have at least 25 posts in the forums to be able to do this. If you guys think this is just plain dumb, lemme know, and i'll disable it... otherwise, enjoy!
man, something new to compete for! karma! sweet :-D
Sounds like fun!!!! :mrgreen:
Tet- karma given :-D
I like it.

HAHA...I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH NEGATIVE KARMA!
I don't know how a cubs fan has negative karma. Maybe your intro was harsh? :wink: Anyhow you got one on the plus side from me
does it allow you to applaud someone more than once? I think it'd be better if it only allowed you to give out one applaud, and one smite per person. Meaning, I could give out an applaud to a bunch of different people, but I couldn't give one person 3 applauds.
Know what I'm saying?
Well I did a test. You can applaud then smite, and then applaud again, but you can't increse or decrease someone else by more than 1karma in 1 hour. It'd be cool if that was changed to 1 day, but whatever. It's cool

I gave you one of each for S&G!
Oh, ok, i'll give you an extra positive. As soon as I can. It's up to someone else to make up the negative I took away :-)
There was a point in time that we (the active members of the forum) talked about the karma feature and decided that we either didnt need it because of crap we'd seen on other sites that used it. But the forums are much different from then and it could be a fun injection to the atmosphere so I hope that y'all enjoy it. Bottom line: dont take anyone's karma or postcount too seriously.
well i give up.
guyforget has a 1000 count :roll:
EDIT! ---HA! i give you karma for the karma edit!! :mrgreen:
is there a reason faux has -7 already :P
Who's smiting faux every hour on the hour???
Jephrey
HAHAHA THAT RULES!!!
ok, i'll make it 24 hours instead of 1 hour... ya babies... ;)
someone's been smiting me!
Karma points should be awareded solely based on seeds provided to bt.etree.org
Karma points? What's the point? Oh well, John Lennon wrote a great song about it:
Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you
Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on
Instant karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Thanks for the birthday shout out Aug!!!!! And yes, I think this can be a fun thing.
This isn't Karma - it's "agreeablity" or some sort of buddy network where you all praise each other because you have the same opinions.
I don't know how week4paug turned into a place where you could'nt discuss things with differing opinions - it's like some kind of phishy dick measuring contest and it's lame.
Seriously - take the time to listen to other people and consider their opinions before you fire up the flamethrower and try to disprove whatever they're saying.
I care about the music sharing aspects of this place so I won't leave, but I really don't feel like sharing my opinions around here anymore.
Go ahead and smite me - it'll just prove how shallow this whole place has gotten.
um... ok... :?
Hey dude...at least you have some karma. :cry:

Awww thanks Jon!!! I really don't care. I think the Karma is silly and goofy. I mean I think it's nice that you gave me Karma. But I wasn't really crying that I didn't have any. Hey, has anybody on this board ever wondered where the babe geeks are? Maybe that's why we're all so cranky...lack of babitude!
Heh heh :mrgreen:
Yeah, the karma thing is silly, but it's just another silly thing we can do online.
karma is a bitch. :evil:

matt what are you talking about? what post/thread inspired this response? Different opinions do exist here, if we all had the same opinion, everyone would think big cypress is overrated (you), or that 95 contains the best shows (faux), or apples are the best software (jedi) or deep appreciation of beer (jephrey).
my point simply being that we do respect each other, and that the karma system is more a joke than anything (at least to me).
Are you saying that there are people here without a deep appreciation for beer?
Screw this. I'm outta here.
I don't know about you guys, but I give applause when it's due. Someone helps me out with a show, someone backs me up at etree etc. I don't know what the complaint is about. I don't even watch my karma, but I am a karma whore. I'll post things to get my applause. :-D
Actually, I log on as another username and give myself one karma every day. :-P

Well, if that's how you REALLY feel about it, SMITE!!!
kidding.
It's silly. We should have a vote, keep the Karma or dump it.

Who said we couldn't discuss things without agreeing with each other? I myself am a contrary bastard, and I've never felt that I was constrained from voicing my differing view of things. There've been times when I've bitten my tongue because I wanted to avoid petty conflicts, but that was my choice.
Personally, I think it'd be pretty lame if we all just sat around agreeing with each other all the time.
But hey if you want to keep your opinions to yourself, well then that's your prerogative, but I don't think anyone but yourself is preventing you from voicing them.
this is starting to sound like a conversation i had with St. Augustine once.
