NYM Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 All I can say is that Karma sucks. I made one post since the site went back up (this being my second) and my karma is down. All this will come down to is the people who have bad karma smiting the idea and people with good karma applauding the idea. It's useless and I think it should go. All this is going to do is cause problem. I think this should have the same fate as the ranking system that never happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYM Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hmmmm. Now that I thought about it, I think we should keep this so people can applaud the **** out of me when I release the "Never before released in MVP baseball history" mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was against this simply because I figured so much bandwidth would be wasted by people clicking this button so much: I'm not trying to make a joke. I think there is no reason to further humiliate this guy. Has anyone ever read the Scarlet Letter? I think NYM is kinda like Hester and his 'Spammer' title is like the scarlet letter. By the way, want some provolone with that Korbel? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to give you an applause, because NYM, you are forever an optimist, and I figure you probably aren't a bad kid to boot...just a little high strung, but a good kid none the less...

Sean O Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 What exactly is the "Never before released in MVP Basbeall history" mod? Isn't every new mod 'never before released in MVP baseball history'? Otherwise, why would people even download it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaplerisking Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 While nothing has gotten real ugly yet, I still think the karma thing should go. I'm just waiting for another big debate or argument between fans of different teams (rival teams, particularly) to get ugly and seeing karma points being thrown all over the place and by the time the thread gets locked everyone who posted in it will be at -50 billion karma.

Campo09 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If you have -50 karma you earned that, if you do something that helps this site, you will have positive karma It should stay for at least 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroEric Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I would laugh at Kraw's comment. But I am no better at finishing projects. In MVPMods or real life, sadly. I gave abc a smiting, because I thought he asked for it. Like literally asked for it. Apparently the fragile ego led to the demise of his experiment.

michaeljjt Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think the karma system should NOT stay for one simple reason: It is very easy, despite the time limitations on multiple castings, for members to misuse and abuse the system, and improperly stigmatize members who are undeserving of such positive accolades or negative disdain. If karma is kept, I believe the moderators should be exempt from the system, since it is their job to do the dirty work, and if they annoy people just by doing their job, they will unfairly recieve negative "votes" On a similiar subject, I also think post counts should be done away with, as it has created a ridiculous heirarcy where people with high post counts believe what they say is more important/the high post count entitles them to rights other do not have. Elimating all post counts would eliminate many poster's inflated sense of self importance and put everyone on equal ground. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm sorry...did you say something? I have 1,000 posts and it's hard to hear the little people these days. Just kidding! P.S. -- Mark B.: When I was in high school, I had a different Clash shirt for every day of the week. So not only did I recognize the subtitle of the thread, I involuntarily starting singing in bad Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
