I rarely think of the karma when I'm posting, don't think it prevents me from debating with someone. I'll give karma when it's deserved, usually a funny post or where someone has done something worthwhile.

But to be honest, I give more negative than positive. I'll give negative for grammar or spelling errors and especially for starting pointless bleedin threads and having titles like "Wow" or "OMG" without giving any more detail :mad:

Only change I would ask for is to be able to give both one positive and one negative karma each hour instead of just one of either. But it's not a major problem!

I guess people can simply turn it off if they don't like it or if they're not as popular as they hoped.

I have to say that Karma should NOT be deducted based on peoples spelling! As has already been said there are many people here who have problems that would affect their ability to spell things right.

:flowers:

Thank you sunny.... when I read this origianly I was shocked that karma could be used like this.

I love the idea of Karma, its great to be able to give it out in a possitive way.

But this sort of negativeness is why I have turned it off

Well I read the new rules of karma and didn't see anything about that, but I've been trying anyway to figure out a way to make my policy on spelling errors more able to reflect the 10% who are dyslexic, I don't want to be seen to be discriminating or anything! :nono:

So as Red said, if the board is an accurate representation of the population, then about 10% are dyslexic. So from now on, when I see a post that has committed serious crimes against the english language, I'm gritting my teeth, fighting back the urge to post and tell this person how so so wrong they are and I'm just about to hit that -Karma button, for one person in every ten I will say no, maybe it's not their fault, and give postitive karma to someone else instead. :eureka:

I think that's a much fairer policy and it'll cover the 10% :thumbs: :thumbs2:

Karma, karma, Karma.. I'm going to be 100% honest I'm so sick of hearing about it as much as I am the Emily is a racist row... People, negative Karma is not going to kill you.. away from the forum negative Karma does not dictate how you are as a person it is merely only forum Karma. Those that have now turned it off.. then it's not an issue anymore.. it's off. I don't want rid of something forum members wanted now don't cause they've realised now that, although they like having Karma... negative they don't as it's the end of the world as we know it.

Here at TiBB we are all for respecting each others views and opinions.. well, that has to abide to why someone takes negative Karma too.. we might not agree with someone's opinion on why but it's their opinion and we are all very different. We are more than happy to accept positive karma without and questions and what if that was being given for the wrong reasons? Lets be fair... you don't always know why people are taking Karma ...so what.. it's really not the end of the world as we know it.
