Karma?

I think the karma is more for their body of work, Wesley - that is one of the reasons you can modify the karma you've given someone.
Thanks, Cyclone62 - that's exactly the type of feedback I think is needed.
Test Update
I did a formula to lower the rep values to a more moderate level and am TESTING the images but don't know what people think of them. I think Karma and Rep both have pros and cons but they can be redundant at the same time. Karma is a number given as an average by the other members - you can change your rating of somebody if your opinion of them changes. Rep is a weighted rating based on individual posts/threads/etc.

Thanks for the feedback! I think it's looking much better and more reasonable. Karma for overall body of work and rep for individual post feedback with comments. Simple and effective.
It would probably also be beneficial to put a "cap" on the max amount of rep any one person can give out, say 10k or so.
And I was finally only a few thousand away from a million. Thanks...thnx a lot:realmad:
Seriously, though...I like the changing ability because I may dislike something they say but see that they are -1300000000 rep because of that 1 post and I don't even bother giving them neg rep. But I can give them bad karma and look it up later and change it if I saw they posted something I liked or agreed with.
2 bugs I have seen so far. The PM message for the rep # is still the super inflated version. And in your user CP it shows the old multi million rep.
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.

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 :wink:
