Just a quick poll to find out what you TiBBsters think:

Do you think negative karma should be disabled?

[Billy]

Yes it should be

[sarahtheangel]

yes i think it should who wants a negative 1 .

[Dr43%er]

I say no. Neg away. I don't care.

[Lauren]

No, LOL sorry to be the odd one out here.

But, I feel the theory of negative karma is good, if someone breaks rules, or makes a badly thought out post then they should get negative karma.
Yes it's being abused, but so is +ve karma!! People give it to their friends regardless of whether they've made good posts or not.

[Sarah.]

I think it should. People abuse it and it can make people feel as if they are not liked, even if they have done nothing wrong. However if someone abused the postitive one, it's not hurting anyones feelings.

After my initial grumbles (sorry admin/mods) I like the karma system.

I mainly give out positive karma but if some has pee'd me off.... I have been known to neg a person...it doesnt happen very often tho... and you know what it stop me from responding in a negative post so it does the job well

So why the need for the karma system if it's there to be abused?
Someone abuses the +ve karma system - yeah it may not hurt anyones feelings but it's no longer doing the job it's meant to (i.e. applauding good posts).

spot on Lozza..... couldnt agree with you more

[Billy]

people take it off they disagree with people which isnt supposed to happen

[Ann]

I totally agree that it should be disabled Matt brilliant idea too

[Sophii3x]

Nope, what's the point of having karma at all if you only have the positive? It makes it the whole thing completly pointless without the nagative.

[~Kizwiz~]

If you dont like the karma system then turn it off...simple... you cant have positive without the negative.

Like Lauren says, yes, its seems that some people take far more negatives than they should but I also see a lot of positives given to friends... thats also abusing the system.

[Billy]

Why dont we get rid of it then, its pointless, all it does i smake people feel bad.

[Billy]

right, what did I do wrong to get another one taken off me

If it makes people feel bad then switch it off.... why should others suffer by taking it away when you could just easily take the system off if you want

[Billy]

Sophiee agree with me i gave you paris lmao just kiddin

[Ruth*Star]

Yes because when i had karma i was having karma taken of me for literally no reason, so i think just having positive would be a good option to think about.

[~Kizwiz~]

Everyone has karma taken off them..... and they also have karma given them..... ying and yang

[Dr43%er]

Genuinely. If any of you are in a bit of a mood and want to neg someone but have no reason to, then let me become your neg receptacle. I can take it and you get it off your chest. As i say, neg away.

[Sunny_01]

No in a word it should not be. I feel that as people already have a choice about whether to have Karma switched on or not then thats enough. If people have it switched on then they accept the terms of it being on.

[Richie]

No.

What's the harm doing if you don't have it turned on?

There's a feature to turn it off if you dislike it. Why ruin it for people who DO like it and want it turned on?

[Legend]

It defeats the whole object of ''karma'' so no it shouldn't be turned off and why people waste their time with these threads is beyond me when they have the option to turn it off and have no negative karma thrown their way ever again.

[Wasted]

I agree that it's abused but I don't care personally, if you don't like it you are able to switch it off.
