Forum - Karma System

New system is fine. Quite often a red Karma is like a text message and is so short that the context or even the message can be misunderstood rather easily. Most red karma (at least the ones I got) are attacks on personality rather than the topic. It is very rare to get a constructive red karma. Heck I even got one red karma in Spanish !

Personally I never felt the strong enough urge to give anyone a red Karma for their opinion much less to PM them over a matter. Folks take this game (and their posturing) way too seriously sometimes. If it goes I won't miss it because I never had to use it. What I feel I need to write is usually tame enough to be posted in the threads themselves.

Unfortunately, because we share the forum with the Spanish (and other users) and because we don't have enough resident posters here, the "need to spread more rep around" is kinda broken. That can't be fixed though without breaking things on the Spanish forum.

If you feel that a post or poster is offensive then you can report the post to a Moderator who will decide on the next course of action. That seems fair to me.
