For all the FB users, this new site has a 'like' (Karma) function where it's possible to 'like' (applaud) or even 'dislike' (smite) a post !!!!
Personally I think it's a great idea !!!
Applaud adds Karma and Smite removes?

Yep, that would be it !!
Yep.. It will sort out the crape posters from the good ones. :P

Thank-you for the positive feedback Mr. Amers, we are pleased that you are in favour of this new feature on the site.
You have actually beaten us to the punch with your post because there is a discussion in the Staff Room regarding some promotion & education of the Karma system. We believe that once everyone is aware of its existence and then understands how it works, they will enjoy it even more.

Yeah I don't mind it but don't really understand what it does. Gives you some sort of rating? Why and for what purpose? What do you do with it?
Yep.. It will sort out the crape posters from the good ones. :P
Looks like I'm in trouble then. ;D

I thought making a thread about it would help to spread the word !!! :)

Well it's working Amers :-)
Bob Murphy would like it as it helps to identify "Rascals" :P

Ha, "rascals"......great word !.....all the effect without the abuse.
...but what about the "Bounders" & the "cads" ?
cheers

Smite? I thought it said "smile". I'm such an idiot.
How come it doesn't show who liked or disliked your comment. Hell it doesnt even tell you which comment the like or dislike was based on.. Bizarre..

Have a look at your own rating, mate. ;D ;D ;D

Thanks crash, did you do the honours? Wasn't there yesterday. :lol:
Since that comment i've actually noticed a lot of negative numbers.
Thanks crash, did you do the honours? Wasn't there yesterday. :lol:
Still adjusting Kruds? ;)

Old habits die hard. :-[
This could take a while....

I thought the same and was going to press the button, just before I checked again. Your not an idiot mate. Not at all. ;)
I dont mind the Karma rating. Its really good to know who is a respected poster.
Im a member of a soccer forum. They have a a similar feature, but its based on a per post basis so that one time when the world stands still and something profound is written it is liked by all and sundry, and then they have overall plus/minus to show that posters Karma rating. Is that possible to implement?

From what we've seen so far, no.
As for a respected poster, just because a poster may have a negative karma rating does not make him disrespected. All it means is he has an opposing view to many, well that's if the function is used properly.

Surely then it should be called the "Sheik" function instead of the Karma function :P
I reckon it would be beneficial to have a like/dislike things on posts as well (or instead of) on posters.
Yep.. It will sort out the crape posters from the good ones. :P
I've only seen 1 person with a negative rating thus far.
Looks like its me.. I'm as popular here as I was over the old place..
I like you....and I just put you closer to zero. ;)
I was also in the negative a few days back, it can turn around pretty quick if someone likes your posts.

You can't hide for long jamie. :-*
For the same reason I didn't like the posts being shown on the other site, I don't really like this function personally, but it seems the majority does, so this is just a dissenting view.
I think it encourages people just posting a heap of stuff and people ganging up on one another with back slaps when someone posts a view that mirrors their own. I am not big on that sort of function. Personally I also think it would be worth removing the dislike element if possible, I know I seen someone with a negative post and was going to just go about liking a post to bring them back into the positive. They are a controversial poster, but someone I do respect even if I don't always agree, but they were always likely to at some stage end up 'negative'.
Where I think a 'like' feature (with the points accumulated) comes in well is a tech forum, where it is important to know the posters that regularly provide strong technical answers to solutions so you know when to 'listen'. Another way it could work is for a like/dislike option, but the liker/dislikers names are published and they are not accumulated.
Anyway this goes against the grain and is more likely to be seen as a criticism of the site, rather than just a dissenting view, so 'dislike' way :P
Hehe thanks MIO......I think?
;)
I think it works better if you can see on the actual post who has liked and disliked the post. Hardly worth adding a like/dislike if it gets hidden.

Haha thanks mate. I think you and me will be always one post away from being back into the negative..
That's what happens sometimes when you don't conform.. ;D
@ BJ
I found that out pretty damn quick. O0

MIO, you've been on fire with everything you've posted lately, and this is no exception. Fully agree - the like / smite thingy is bordering on juvenile. If you don't agree with a post, why not just post and say "I don't agree" ?
If you don't agree with a post, why not just post and say "I don't agree" ?
The idea of a forum I would have thought. You can agree or disagree within the thread, otherwise everything may as well be a poll. ;)
I have to say, I started this thread thinking that the Karma function was for individual posts, not to the poster in general.
Now that I know better what it really is, I'll admit that I'm not a fan as all it is likely to do is create a popularity contest and won't really mean much.
If it could be changed, that would be great, if not, I reckon it would be better off being removed.
Do people really care what others think of them?

That's easy to say when you have a Karma in the clouds like you do :P
