Forum - Karma System - Page 2

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.

I don't understand really...

The biggest issue in the Karma system is that the author of them aren't shown thus allowing them to insult/bash/whatever for wrong reasons without consequences.

The best thing to do was to show the usernames so people would think twice before sending non-justified red karmas, not this...

Negative criticism is needed.

LMAO I just got a karma for my previous post here. Its grey but I rather suspect that the giver had a red in mind. too bad they switched that off . You mad bro?

The message was so nebulous that I really don't know. Proves my point really.

The karma system is a joke really and retains no value whatsoever.
Mostly I receive green karma for making someone laugh, and red karma merely because the person isn't particularly fond of me. These don't strike me as being the intended reasons for giving someone karma in any form.

Well my last Grey (most likely supposed to be red) Karma was tagged "stfu ugly n00b."

I rest my case, the system is pointless :P

As others told allrady ,karma system is just a system to show you how much community is agree with ya or not.

This not means red/green karma is a fair system at all.
For example if 10 people that play a certain class and you are not agree with a spell from that class, 10 people will give you red karma.This not means at all that red karma was a fair one.

I don't understand frustation of removing red karma at all too,anyway people that begin to troll around have been havy banned.At least in last months more have been banned than i saw in last 4 years.

I realy don't care if karma system is complete removed.People just take this system as how cool are they on the community or not,some kind of personal ranking.
