Karma?

[cmoore_23]

didnt Earl always say it was bad to mess with Karma??

Honestly, I am laughing at all of you right now. Is this how you decide if you feel good about yourselves or not??? If your rep level or karma is high enough you feel good and *gasp* if it is low you hate yourself?? Really, people...you are in the middle of a 4 page discussion of a rating system not even fully functional yet. This is my vote for best read of the day! Maybe I should give positive rep to the person who started it.

could we change the statistics chart to read "most dispised" rather than "most hated" ... or maybe "most likely to drown a bag of puppies"

Oh and Wes, you're going down buddy - I'm king of this castle!

Help me!! This talk of Karma has caused that '80s pop tune to be dragged up from the depths of my brain where it was buried, and now I can't get it out of my head!

For some member input here...

Question

What would be the downfall of not using karma or the numerical rep but just using the indicators for rep like I have on the member list page? This could top out at x number of indicators which would essentially give you the same end result as karma but you could also do the pm for each post, etc. Any feedback?

I want to simplify the way members rate each other's input and not make it such an obvious popularity contest.

Have you ever had any positive comments on anything? I think I"m going to start calling you "Sir Whines A Lot"

Jer - do you mean the little green boxes?

[cmoore_23]

in all honesty i like the fact u can see who gave u what..and for what post and if they want a comment they can but the comment is not a need

[Wesley]

One more comment - is karma to apply more what a person has posted as a body of work or karma for that particular post?

I am ahead of clones jer!

[Cyclone62]

Depending on views, I think the Karma dealy would be fun, as long as it topped out at +5, and we can't tell how many people (different or same) voted for said number received.

That being said, I'm nearly dependant on other people telling me what is good/bad about my writing so I can improve, so the leaving messages about what was liked or disliked is beneficial for me.

I like it. I gives credence to what people say and do, without the popularity contest or weighted rep. Also, it's kind of cool how it changes easily, because some people go on bad rants for just a day because of their mood (okay I'm talking about myself).
