So far most of what I get from y'all is either psycho-babble insinuating that I should toughen up and get over someone not liking me... OR reference to scripture roughly insinuating the same thing.  Both of which are cheap shots, IMO, and completely miss the point.

Remember guys, this topic is under "Site Suggestions."  My purpose was to stir conversation about the karma system. 
 
Does the karma system in any way improve this forum and does it accurately reflect the credibility if it's members?

How does it help or hurt?

Should it be done away with? 

Could it be improved or made more accurate so as to actually serve a purpose? (APX808 mentioned a modification.)



Maybe attempt a method in which the level of "karma" or "smite"  varies to each particular thread/topic. This would allow for the user to identify whether or not an individual is credible based on the feedback from the other users in that thread topic. In essences the karma smite function would be used as a general consensus among the users and moderators to identify BS or spam or off topic posts in each individual thread. Also this can help identify what users are knowledgeable in certain areas or could use a little education in others based on their posts. Easiest way to put it is it would mimic a "like/ dislike" function found on most social media sites.

Well crap, I didn't know the admin changed the karma system to only one karma adjustment per hour. I smote you once, then I was going to applaud you twice (I like multiples of five). Oh, well. I'll see if I can remember to bring you up to 45 positive over the course of this evening.  :P

Oh, it's not about karma, dude. I seriously love multiples of five, and 45 is the perfect number (obviously...look at John Browning's caliber, and my name!). If I could go back, I probably would have chosen a hi-cap .45 ACP pistol like the FNP .45, not a 9mm. Oh, well. One day I'll have enough moolah to justify making the purchase and investing in much more ammo.  :)

Haha, yeah, I was "smitten" as well. At least they had the decency to give a +1 also.  :P

I really do agree with special-k's post, though. If you're going to have it, make a point of it. As it currently stands, there really is no point to the Karma rating.

What does all this karma do anyways? Just let you know whether or not your viewed as an a-hole on the forum?

I ignore it and just accept the fact that some one(s) out there hates me.  It doesn't bother me.  I've got two ex wives and a slew of scorned women in my past.  Someone sitting around hitting a smite button doesn't even come close to comparing with what they've tried to do to me.

Bout time I admitted this. It was me. I did it way back when. Before I got to know you. I can't really remember why I did it. I think I was still burnt from the whole TG age thing.
Fan out your shots. We want everyone to get some.

LOL!  Spirit just can't take living with the guilt one more day.    :)  Way to man up and fess up the evil you've done!   :)

Yep, I think he transferred over to me now.  :P

Don't worry, Sledge. If you get mass-smitten, I will raise you twenty points like I did the first time!  :))

The Karma thing is just a harmless method for us to take jabs at one another. Nothing more nothing less.... except that the 5 guys who have the highest and lowest karma are invited to my 4th of July BBQ!! Yay!
