stryd_one Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Ok what's the story with giving me negative karma?I've checked my posts over the last few days and I don't see anything I've said that was even remotely offensive or deserving of such a thing, and certainly nobody has spoken to me about any problem they have with me.If you're going to dish out negative karma for no apparent reason then you're not really helping anyone. If you do have a reason, it might make sense to talk to me about it, that way I won't make a repeat performance and keep annoying you.

bill Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 (Maybe) there is an explanation :There is no confirmation message when you click on those [applause] [smite] buttons.So it's possible that someone did it accidentaly (dont worry, i did not)In fact, i allready push [applause] without wanting it, but wondering what was that feature.Who know ???

stryd_one Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Woops I accidentally hit applause too heheh ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I wondered too, if I missed an interesting dispute ;DI know how it feels, because I've been also given bad karma without knowing a reason some time ago...Lucky me, I got rid of it due to thy merciful board moderator :DWhoops, seems I also accidentally hit applause ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yeh I'm good at starting "interesting disputes" too heheheheOh hey, I'll be honest, I'm surprised I didn't get some -karma a long while ago, cause I'm the not kind of person to hold back, you know.... I can deal with the -k, but the thing that reaaally shits me that whoever smited me hasn't even had the common decency to tell me what for :-\Anyway in my true bizarre style I'm tempted to combat this situation by flicking karma around like it's free candy which is really cool, because sooner or later I'll probably + them, and in the meantime I will totally devalue karma heheheh ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 hey stryd, what's going on now, who smited you again?That's not nice >:(Isn't there a function, board add-on or plugin, where we can get to know on what posting the "-" has been applied?It seems to me that karma – as good as it is to push someone for contributing more to the community – it might also cause the opposite.Michael.@David: once you have composed 50 postings, you can applaud/smitenice avatar btw ;DEdit: huhu, David, where is your message gone? Or am I seeing postings that are not there... ???tss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBanner Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 audiocommander,what message?? Not sure what you mean, I haven't posted a msg on this forum...just kidding - lol, - i deleted it after I searched through the forums a bit....so 50 is the magic number eh? Was wondering when I would lose the newbie title.>nice avatar btwta! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Dunno looks like someone's got it out for me...I'm about to throw the karma system into a state of disarray shortly.... Edit: No, Smash and TK, I won't really do it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 It seems to me that karma – as good as it is to push someone for contributing more to the community – it might also cause the opposite.Well look I wasn't going to get into this, but hey.... being a buddhist, the karma links on the side seemed a bit dodgy to me at first... I guess a bit sacrilegious, but that word makes me sound waay more serious than I am ;) But I figured, hey, it's just another way of giving the thumbs up or down, I don't mind +ing someone when they're helping out, and I don't mind -'ing someone if they're being rude to TK or something similarly deserving of the smite... And I'm not perfect, I do accept that sometimes I can be abrasive and that might earn me a smite, fair enough.. But the thing that bugs me is that I never do anything other than try to help people out around here. I feel like it's the least I can do. TK helps me, I help someone else, they help someone else, and so on, and we all live happily ever after ;) So yeh I realised that it only bugs me so much, that whoever is smiting me doesn't care to show any reason for it, because I try to help out....and so I could not help out, and then I wouldn't care....But then I got to thinking about how TK would feel when he sees his work for sale on eBay and I just thought, "stryd, stop your bitching and moaning" ;DSo to my gutless smiter I shall say this:[shadow=red,left][glow=brown,5,5]FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART.[/glow][/shadow]And get back to the smell of hot solder fumes.
