I understand that hon.... but what I am trying to raise is the fact that there seems to be too much negativeness around. For no reason.

People are taking the piss

Indeed it is. I'd say this, just turn it off if you are not happy with it. I can see people may/may not like it but at least there is an option there to turn it on if you want it or off if you don't.

Kiz thanks for giving it a go - at least you tried it out, it's obviously not something you are ever going to like which is a shame but I can understand your reasons.

I suppose another way to look at it is there have been far fewer arguments on the forum since it started! people are responding by removing Karma rather than giving someone a load of abuse. Yes spiteful but surely better.

I dont think its going to stop all arguments but every little helps xx

Fine.... so nobody is listening to what I am really trying to say..... great.... I give up :bored:

Ahh right. But Iv'e just realised that Iv'e had one taken off me since this morning when I haven't been online until now, but I don't care.
Maybe some people have been going around giving people -karma for the hell of it, but personally I haven't really seen that.

But I didnt do anything wrong :sad:

I think you will find we are listening - we dont have to agree to listen Kiz

I appreciate that you dont like it I really do - and like I said I understand your reasons for not liking it but many others on the forum do like it.

Its about compromise really, Mark created a compromise for those of you who dont like it and left it on for those who do

Do you work for Tesco Sunny? :joker:

At the end of the day, I actually don't mind it but I agree with the sentiment of this thread.

God do you not even know your supermarlets - its Asda lol

Sorry, i couldn't resist, it was 4 on the dot when i read this post. :wink:

I think we should just have a + on the karma. Get rid of the -. There would be no negativity then.

Sunny... your misunderstanding me.... I like the karma system.... I really really do but what I dont like is the fact there is too much negativeness going on.

I dont feel i have done anything, until starting this thread to warrant taking a point away from me today.

I feel i am not being listened to because people assume that I dont like the system... I do

I beg to differ. lol

I don't think so. I think the -karma is good because as Sunny said, it has stopped some arguments happening. Twice i've given it because some posts REALLY annoyed me, i was going to respond but i knew from what he had already posted, adding my tuppence would be pointless so i just minused his karma - it made me feel better. :laugh:

This thread doesn't warrant taking a point from you. You have done nothing wrong.

You see I dont agree I dont think there is a huge amount of negativity going on, in fact I see a lot of members with Karma points, yes we lose a few along the way but thats life really. A minority of members are going to use it in a silly way, but that doesnt mean that the majority of us who use it in a responsible way have to let it get to us!

I turned my karma off before I even started this topic... so it was taken away from me before then

Well we will just have to agree to disagree. I would rather post my views.

Fine.... I used to love this place..... but as far as I can see its now tunred, for some people, into snide and backstabbing fest.

Like I said before, would people still take karma away if we could see who has done it.... no.
we have a no insults policy... now we have a backdoor way of doing

Shame

I know that. But you said you hadn't done anything wrong to warrant taking a point away from you prior to starting this thread. You implied that starting this thread was wrong? Starting this thread wasn't wrong IMO.

Yeah, as do I. But when you can tell from the way somebody has been posting already that they will either ignore it or call you something - i didn't want to waste my time.

Got you... sorry.... misunderstood

I see what you are saying, but I don't think you see what Kiz is saying. You took karma off someone for a post that annoyed you. Kiz hadn't done anything wrong. Someone took karma off her for the sheer hell of it.
