Hankers wonders what a "woutl" is 

It's Zubish, that's what it is...   

She can see fine thank you very much! Just because there's not much to see in her very special padded room doesn't make one blind. 


{And to think she liked you.  }

The best so far:

I guess ya don't have to beg when someone just gives ya 10,000 karmas.  That sure goes a long way into making the system legit.  Oh well........

A quote from another post -

"The Karma system is designed to be a reward system to users by other users for being a helpful/nice/pleasing member of the community. It isn't a status thing but more of a 'thanks' thing. I'm going to talk with Zoomba when he gets back amount making a new forum rule against Karma Begging. I feel it defeats the purpose of the system."

Seems that both the 'begging' and the 'giving' have strayed from the original intent. 

How can a system that allows an unlimited amount of points given for any reason at all be illegitimate?

I've posted a number of places where *I* think the system could be improved to give it purpose and prevent abuse . . . I can only wait and hope.

As far as my points go . . other than the humor and the thanks n the comments, it matters not to me.  A few, a thousand, a negative  . . I'd still do the same thing in teh forums I always do.

I think too many people are reading too much into karma

Yeah definately. WOM, I was just having some fun with Zubaz. I have some medication for you...

@ andrew

I hope it remains the lighthearted,fun thing it was intended to be.I sorta like them now.


I'm sure most of us would,and all those points won't help our spelling. Tip:those red underlines in FF3 aren't decorations.

  

Karma is just another one of those things which brings out the worst in people 

Karma is a force of life. You do good, promote & intend good, you usually get good back & then some.
If you do the opposite, you'll get the opposite. Karma itself doesn't bring out the worst in people, karma is the manifestation of life based on what people bring out of themselves.

Seriously, I think we're all getting worked up over a non-issue. An on-line karma points system.

People are asking how to get karma points on this site, simple answer, do unto others what you would want done to you. Hang out in the forums when you can, if you see a chance to answer someone's question or assist in another way, go for it, that's good karma, points or no points and if you get karma points for your user account, great!!! But if you don't, no worries, feel good because you've helped someone - that's what is important and that good feeling you get... that's karma. 1 point or 10000 points, it's all good!
