Karma?

[jumbopackage]

I woild suggest that be applied in both directions - positive and negative.

I'd agree. Once I started getting a lot of rep power, I was hesitant to rep posts, either positive or negative, since you can swing someone so quickly. Someone's first post might get them 400k+ of rep if Angie were to rep them, for instance. Once you hit a certain mark, limiting it to a certain number will help that.

Please tell me we are not adopting other aspects of Eastern mysticism:

Reincarnation- banned board trolls get new life

Yoga- Cyclones have bad loss, CF members are required to only post "Ommm" for remainder of the day

-Cyclone fight song changed to "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison...14,000 fans in Hilton are required to chant "Hare Krishna" in the background.

-Walking tacos bags now served empty in recognition of Gandhi's hunger strike.

It makes me feel like He-Man...

Maybe I just miss the point of rep and karma and all but I think it just gets in the way of everything else and serves as a point of conflict.

Once you've been on the board for awhile you get to recognize the different posters and their styles and attitudes. You form your own opinions of who has good insight, who can make you laugh, and who thinks the sky is falling. I don't think we need a system to try to quantitatively measure that.

I do appreciate the option of opting out which I have done as a precaution of the impending madness

Is that because of my post in the cave this morning? Awesome.

Maybe

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).

Ok the spelling is different, but hey, it popped into my head.

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!

The only thing you are the king of is Turdville! Have fun storming the castle!

I'm not sure what Karma is but I'm sure ISUFan22 has 3 million of it.

Jeremy - I kinda like the "controversy" level on the statistics page ... is that gone for good? I take it that was a standard deviation type of calculation? I do like statistics in a really sick way, so maybe I'm just being excessive, but they were nice when they were here.

I don't have any??

There ya go ISUForLife, you have some now.

Hey guys - just letting you know I'm going to close this thread and start a new one later this weekend with more info on the whole karma/rep situation. Thanks for helping me with testing and feedback!
