I will take your advice. But my friend, he is at 0 karma and he keeps smiting my posts. I don't like it when he does that. That is partially why I probably have the lowest karma on this site. Whenever I see my karma go down It's him I have to blame. About 2  or 3 of my negative karmas were his fault.

This is a bold-faced lie. We can keep track of who gives karma to who specifically to prevent either the artificial increase or decrease of karma, and there are no abnormalities to your negative karma. I can't even believe you'd try and attack the integrity of the karma system after the work Kat and I have put into it to ensure fairness. My patience has come to an end.

As Lord Monkey pointed out, him and Kat have spent numerous hours perfecting this karma system. It's very useful, and a lot of the bugs have been ironed out from my understanding. I was going to suggest you talk with your friend about why he's doing that...but this has been proven to be false. Brendan wouldn't make that stuff up. He has the system up to see who smited or applauded whom. It's not nice to insult someone's intelligence like that.

If you want good karma, Elana made some very good points. I'll also add that I also give points to those who write entertaining material. I recall giving someone I think a couple applauds for a amusing story of how they tamagotchi went for a swim in the toilet and survived. It was a good laugh. Or good logs I read on here I enjoy giving points to.

Unfortunately, if there's one thing I don't like, it's lying through your teeth. You'll probably have a harder time getting good karma after that stunt Another thing to avoid: bad reps.

what's karma?

what's karma?

Well first off, in order to give karma, you will need to be above 20 posts to do it. I see you're very new here, so take your time

Second Karma is when the posts you made either give you points or take them away. People who have negative numbers as their karma lose privledges because of various issues such as SPAM, double/triple posts, harassment, and just poor judgement overall. Usually the staff can see who is a good community member and who isn't by their karma number.

The best way to ensure you won't get negative karma is to be a good forum member. Report problems, help those who require assistance and just use common sense before posting something on here. The more you know the better

I hope I answered your question.

Sorry to bump such an old topic, but I had a question regarding applauding and smiting. Since I can't do either yet, are the buttons really close to each other, and if they are, does it ask you if you're sure you want to applaud/smite them? I don't want to end up smiting a good post or applauding a bad one by accident, and since my fingers slip alot, (lousy fingers!) I might click the wrong one. Once again, sorry for bumping it but after reading this, it really worried me about messing it up terribly and looking (and making others look) bad.

Heh, now that you mention it: yeah, the buttons are pretty close to each other. I know I've slipped up at least once. But it's not hard to amend your mistake. You just applaud twice to get it back up! You have to wait an hour between applauds, which is a good mechanism to prevent artificially bumping up people's karma by clicking a zillion times, so hopefully you remember to fix it.

Hope that helps!

  this topic is old! yeah I don't take Karma seriously so that is why I keep puting my "cool" growth charts I make myself. That is how I keep getting negative karma I think? Maybe people don't like my V5 chart. But I don't care, I just make them for fun  !

[MistyKetchum]

Amigop, I think the reason that your karma is low is because you bump a lot of old topics just to put a one-sentence reply. I often see posts you made saying "oh, that's cool" or something similar on older topics. There's nothing wrong with posting on an old topic for information, but don't do things like the time you posted on the rules board "it's always nice to have rules", since it was a little pointless. Don't worry, I was just like you when I first signed up.  People shouldn't really give you bad karma for posting your growth charts, though. Someone finds them useful. However, you might want to put them in your logs instead of on a separate topic. Hope I could help!

Also to add to that, the charts should also give credit to Bandai as well in my opinion since you're using their images in your chart to make them. I could understand if you pixelated your own versions, but yeah, just something I noticed along with bumping topics with one-two word replies to them
