Karma

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but the Karma scores seem to have disappeared . . . and I was quite proud of my two points  :)

Don't tell me that some of my fellow CSCers are unhappy with their Karma ratings and have had the function disabled  ::)

Good on ya pot stirrer. Now we will lose our avatars and our names. Next I will be a gender symbol 0-> or 0+ and my name will be 16237. I still wonder why our post count was scrapped.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

LR didn't like Karma and got it removed and that's fair enough as it was never a part of the original CSC. As for post counts if the mods want to scrap them then that's cool but also scrap any new progressive tally eg the current faux player elevation model.  Personally I like the idea of post counts from the original site which I believe pre dates the 2004 model.

I thought part of the idea of the new site was to improve it and allow new things? If we want it to be the same as the old site, why not just keep the old site?

I liked the Karma function.

I'm not that fussed about post counts and the faux player elevation model is not something I take seriously.  Quality of posts rather than quantity is more important to me.

I guess Karma measures populism and those who contribute well-reasoned but unpopular posts could be shafted.  Still, it created a bit of additional interest and it was an improvement on the original CSC.

Meh I'm not fussed either way. I had systematic karmaring but I never complained. You could always tell who was doing it anyway. For example I started a thread about something and there were three responses disagreeing with the thread and all of a sudden I was down three karmas. Or whenever Tex or MBB would log on I'd drop a karma hehe. It's all good. FWIW I never karma'd anyone who didn't karma me first.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Worried about the karma thing on a forum like this ????   :o
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

No biggie here, was pretty silly TBH.  I seemed to get Karma when  I posted positive things about Mick, then lost them on criticism of him  ??? 

Maybe a like/dislike bottom for individual posts is better.

No, you're wrong. You never know who karma'd you.
And you're final sentence explains why it could be abused - tit for tat.

I liked the Karma function.  It meant little in the scheme of things but it was fun.  Oh well.  :-\

Rename it Kudos and stick it back, no Kharma required!

Glad its gone. Gimmick. And actually had nothing to do with the idea of karma.

If you dislike something someone has said, have the nads to tell them and why in a reasoned way and expand on your opion. Ditto if you like, tell them why and maybe expand on it.

Good decision.

I think Kharma means nought to long term posters, but to new members or visitors it could give them an insight into the Who's Who of CSC.

Is that good or bad, I have no idea!

The Karma thing is ok but you should be able to see on particular posts who gave it a like or dislike. It stops people abusing the system I think.

Can't believe that just because LR didn't like it that he seeked, then it was taken down. He's not that much of a prima donna surely.
