I've noticed that things have been a little nasty on here lately and some members karma's are being lowered to -3 and things for what I believe to be silly reasons. Please start being nice and let's all be friends. Also there's been bullying on some threads which is horrible. :flowers:
Haha Matt! (and i have the right to laugh lol) Thanks anyways. Its only karma :hugesmile:
I was kinda joking on msn but alwell :P haha. Theres a "We hate Funky Sam" colt somewhere :laugh3:
And yeh people can be nasty in threads.

That's how it gos, karma can be either good or not. If people aren't happy with it, then they turn it off, as simply as that.
well you'd expect people to have different opinions on a forum, not everyone is going to agree. ah well.
(btw i'm not being nasty now, stating facts :laugh:)

I think there was a karma related thread recently wasn't there?
To do with not allowing negative karma or something along those lines.
But I can't be bothered typing out whatever I said again so...
I think the majority of things that go on are nice, the bad things just stand out more that's all. Most likely because they're less common than the nice things.
Anyhow, I understand the feeling behind "phantom karma reducers"
Mines been decreased twice recently, someone kindly put it back up though =]
Whoever it was is probably reading this right now *stares awkwardly*
Doesn't take long to work out who it is usually though.

Even a "Why can't people be nice" topic is turning out to be relatively not nice...
Maybe everyone on here has unaddressed issues they're not aware of >_<
Or perhaps too aware of.

Number 1: (:laugh3:) that normally means it was a joke :rolleyes:
Number 2: I did at the start but backed off like a week later as i felt it was unfair on him which it was
Number 3: I aint being mean to him now. I just told him to put his karma of

It's to be expected in any community of people, even if it is an online community.
Some people don't like others for whatever reason, and their a certain heard mortality. Like follow the leader. I know there are some little groups of people and if somebody doesnt get on with people, it's them verses a group. They target or get revenge by reducing karma and/or just posting nasty/sarcastic comments.

Lol don't be saying such things...
Everyone will be claiming they left you karma now, even if they didn't.
P.S I left you karma.
See, it's happening already >_<
I think karma can backfire though.
Sometimes people contribute quite well, or are naturally really nice, but their karma is decreased because some people out there are spiteful/jealous/bitter/feel inferior because they can't manage to be nice or due to being less popular etc etc.

The majority of people on here are nice but when in their "groups" they change and are not as nice as they pretend to come across. I think the main problem is that some people just love jumping on the bandwagon and that just escalates.
Also, I wish people would stop requesting for threads to be locked because they've got their point across ... what about everyone else? It doesn't give anybody a chance to get theirs across and also, you're not getting an answer by asking for it to be locked so soon.

I dont like when people bully on here thats why ive not been on in ages, but sometimes when people disagree with opinions (which everyone is entilted to)
Thats when things can get nasty.
I have not noticed it though since ive been back but this is a good thread mate
Nicky.
07-12-2007, 10:35 PM
I know what you meen lol!
Ive been here less than a month and mine is -5!!!
There's always going to be some form of disagreements, more so on a forum this size.It really is just unavoidable as there's a lot of different personalties and sometimes they clash.
I'd say most people on here are good people and it's just a tiny minority who end up taking things too far and end up insulting people.

When I came on tonight (before I logged in), I saw Posting_Spice's karma was at -36 or something. That's quite mean in some ways, I don't see why someone should have that low a karma. He hasn't done anything that bad. :conf:

I know, obviously people don't like you to have a certain opinion. I find it a bit petty knocking off someone's karma really, there's much more important thinks to occupy your mind. :spin2:

Awww that's so mean and pathetic really. I remember the majority of the members supported Chanelle, Liam, Gerry etc so basically if you had an adverse opinion of any of them you would coincidently find your karma one less. It doesn't bother me, because like I said I just turned it off, but it's pretty pathetic that someone would think "how dare they not like Chanelle, he deserves negative karma".

I think that Matthew opened this thread with the very best of intentions. I dont think it was just about Karma, it was about people being unkind to each other and about bullying which I have noticed happening subtly for weeks now.
As requested Matthew I am locking this thread now
