Karma Points

fortunato · March 15, 2007, 01:07:30 PM

Just curious about this. I joined within the last week, this is my 41st post and I have 3 karma points.
What's the karma points thing about?

You get a karma point whenever someone thinks you deserve one. They just have to click on "applause". Conversely, when someone else thinks you should be taken down a notch, they'll hit "boo, hiss". You don't get to up your own karma, though. That wouldn't be kosher.

Cool, thanks for letting me know.

It's a way of measuring how much of an ass kisser someone is.

I sure hope not. The intent is not to make anyone better than the other, but so people can look at someone's karma and get an idea if they often write posts that are funny, informative, or otherwise useful to someone else. If I ever think it is working against the harmony of the community (or am told that by a number of members) I will immediately turn it off.

I sure hope not.Because I have a lot of karma,and I am not,and never have been,an "ass kisser". Menard has lotsa karma,and I can honestly say he is so far from "ass Kisser" as they get. Maybe ass kicker, or ass grabber, or jack ass,or something from another planet....
Simply don't use the karma button. Personally,if I got a bad karma for every time I did spelling errors or just plan turned a post into a mess, I would be negative something or another by now....

(Just kidding,Menard........kisskisskiss)

Should I bake some more cookies?.....

Of course, one could create a dummy account and award oneself all the 'Karma' in the universe.

Hmmm... can you Karma total be bigger than your post count?

I just gave Raffine a Karma for his avatar, Andy Mulligan signature, and his humorous post.

I may be doing that today, we got a new stove yesterday. Nice big chocolate chip cookies sound good to me.

I found a drooling smiley.

Chocolate chips are my favorite!

Chocolate Chip cookies are a must for bad-movie watching.
