ANNOUNCEMENT: new Karma system

**azabaz_ipoh** · 06-28-2007, 10:21 PM

yeah, i agree. so far i have not used any negative karma coz to disagree is what discussion is all about. as long as we do in a gentlemanly (though really i am a woman, and women dont need to be categorized as gentle as we are naturally sweet natured creature, yeah right! self sarcasm there

) manner (meaning no cursing, no personal attack on a person individuality...etc). so far two has received my positive karma because their posts made me smile. and i believe smiling is good karma. and laughter is the best medicine. hehehehe

I don't think I'm so keen on this.
Unless it resets every day or something.
I don't forsee myself handing out even 10 karma a day, maybe only 10 a week.

Can you give the same person a + and a - without having to give to 19 others?

That is why I suggest may be 15 max perday. Agree with Neil, we should be able to give Karma to the same person like ever other day without reaching the 20 different karma before the same person.

to that end, BC is going to experiment with a karma system.

..well, well, what has kwun done this time again??

...i've been away for about a week, and bam, kwun has a new karma system installed in BC...

..
And i see there are a couple new icons next to the users' post(s) as well..hmmmm..BC is getting more 'sophisticated'..hehe

..yes, it takes a bit of getting used to, but it should be pretty straightforward after a couple of tries. However, it could be a bit cumbersome when one wants to use the feature in a pretty lengthy thread(more than 10 pages)..

..this thread reminds me a bit of a previous thread/post(which is pretty humorous and entertaining) made by quisitor, or we like to call him Q, a few months ago, here: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/foru...ad.php?t=39023

I am 3rd on this.

The # of regular posters are very limited. It's almost impossible to find enough "others", if I found multiple good posts from the same poster.

**chikkubhai** · 06-30-2007, 09:19 PM

I like this idea..

For me, kartha, my karma will decide the kriya.

Lets seee what my Karma got in store for me..

For karma,
Kris

It's alright LB, I can wait for the next turn. I think you're boss too.

**DinkAlot** · 07-01-2007, 01:52 AM

I 4th the idea about multiple karma to the same person.

***kwun*** · 07-11-2007, 03:46 PM

ok. i have reduced the number to 10. so you need to give karma to 10 different members before you can give it to the same member again.

**twobeer** · 07-11-2007, 05:32 PM

Darn.. Now I am getting afraid of being sarcastic to stupid or incorrect posts... darn... I can almost already feel Cooldob sucking away my Karma ;-)

Cheers,
dudes

**wilfredlgf** · 07-11-2007, 11:21 PM

There's nothing wrong with sarcasm if done without malice, just don't overdo it and at the appropriate moments - one done at the right time may actually be funny without taking away the context of your disagreement.

As for 'incorrect posts', if it meant your preference for only white-coloured replacement grips, you can tell those who make an issue of it to sod off.

Greetings,

The best effect of any forum is that it excites the reader to voice his/her opinion.

But as Chinese philosopher, Confucius, c.550-478 BC, said...

"For one word a man is often declared to be wise, and for one word he can be judged to be foolish. We should be careful indeed what we say."

Cheers... chris@ccc
