"Karma" to be removed
« on: September 07, 2012, 06:25:31 PM »
Karma on the Innectis forums isn't and probably was never based on helpfulness of a post. Much like any other forums website, the karma is based on butthurt and angst. TheJudge hardly posted and got -100+ Karma. People who post get negative karma for positive comments by people who are butthurt about something that happened months ago. It should just be removed, because it's not something anyone should be proud of to begin with.

Inb4 "lol u mad you have negative"
Inb4 "no I like it it shows how helpful I am"
Inb4 "Skye's a moderator?"

The way it's used on the forum, seems to reflect the way someone thinks of someone else in the community. Sadly, this is what I generally do when I raise/lower other people's karma.

Honestly, my opinion is more or less neutral, but not toward a positive view of karma. I wouldn't care if they got removed or not. It seems you're right about this, Skye.

I like to make things. That pretty much describes the kind of person I am.

I dislike karma. Only thing it does is hurt people. Plus there are those people that dislike one particular persons and spam -1 karma.

Goodbye Karma, I guess you got negative Karma at the end of all of this. It's sad to see you go.

Why was there a need to lock this? People could talk about the negative outcome of Karma, you didn't need to lock it until people start causing drama over it.

Unlocking for now, but in the future, if a topic gets out of hand, you can lock then. Not saying you were completely out of line, but just know this.
