[andyb]

[Mark Olson]

I'm currently out of town - so I'll post more information on this topic next week when I return.  The way the Karma is currently setup is that you have to have 80 posts or higher to be able to vote on another members Karma.  You cannot see the vote links in the "Most Recent Posts" view - you have to actually click into the topic to be able to vote.  (I'll fix this later)

You can vote one time for a SPECIFIC member only every 3 hours.  That will keep you from clicking a specific person up or down repeatedly.  I think this is a good balance - but it is adjustable.

The vote is not tied to a specific post or message - it is just a general vote for that person when you choose to cast a vote.

Who are you trying to kid Randy, I have met some of them guys. Pricks is a far better description.
(Not including RPM of course)

And who is the wanker that gave me negative Karma? I didn't even post anything today. Come home from work and I have smite?
I was going to be upset but then I noticed marsh got some too. Who would give Marsh negative karma? 

[Marsh White]

BTW: this Karma thing is currently an experiment.  It may not stick around.  There are positives and negatives to it.  I'm still on the fence as to which outweighs which.  It is open to discussion.  I've had PM's requesting something like this.  The Karma system has been a feature with this forum software all along - I just decided to turn it on and see how it goes while I'm out of town.   Again - please discuss and post your opinions!

Notice I said "some", not 'all'...

You probably got bad karma from whomever did it to me, too.   Who cares, really?

My opinions are not always popular, but they are my own.

The person who did it to Marsh probably picked some REAL bad karma, not the virtual kind.

I just put up a Poll about whether or not we should have this Karma thing.  Please vote!  Note: you can change your vote on this poll at any time if you change your mind on this topic.

[gripit_N_ripit]

i don't like it......cuz I CAN'T VOTE YET!!!! really doesn't matter to me, it could be cool if unabused. cheers.

[Marsh White]

I'll also throw out another option: I can set it up to just be a total Karma count - no negative field.

Example - it would just say Karma: 29.  If someone Smited you, then the total would go to 28.

I will add that option to the Poll.

You know that Klavady is going to get hammered.  All just for fun.  Geez, I just got hammered for saying that, him being a website designer and all.....

I got smitted! I don't like the Karma thing anymore.
Seriously I am in diffrent to this thing (wife says I'm passive aggressive). If I was forced to vote, I have to go no karma rating. There are a handfull of contributors on this forum that are invaluable contributors. I apprecite them immensely. Once in while someone says something that rubs and that just provides entertainment for those of us in the gallery   as they get straightened out by the articulate ones.

I was feeling good as I just got back from a ride to Crystal Lake, but after getting smited, I wish I had a dog to  kick . Where's the old lady?

...once in while someone says something that rubs and that just provides entertainment for those of us in the gallery   as they get straightened out by the articulate ones.

You mean like this;

...Thanks Marsh and the guys with love and knowledge/experience  and fuck those pricks that put them in
racecars.

Even by his own admission he hasn't posted in "yonks" which must equal 8+ months, but the first thing out his brain to tell everyone is that he had surgery, has found out how to make booze and f*** off to at least two of the regular members here that have the knowledge/experience, love and ride an FJ as well as race the car.

Oh well, I will keep offering my knowledge & experience I have gained by first coming into contact with the FJ found in a "racecar" and pass it and the plethora of parts still available because of the car application.

Hopefully he can control his "Cooper's homebrew ramblings" in the future...
