I think it's turned back green now. I wonder why.

BTW, i bought some green karma points from ebay, that's why.

The emphasis is that they have done something good.

After all, good karma are for those who have done good things.

we don't need a system to gauge someone's reliability. Especially when the system works on the basis of "democracy" or "majority is always right".

Agree... sometimes systems like "democracy" and/or "majority is always right" can direct us to the wrong path.

Also agree...

If this is a popularity contest, kwun would have named this as our 'most popular members' system, and not our 'karma' system'.

To let out a little secret, cooler is color-blind

Hi LazyBuddy,

In fact, initially I thought that;

... is for us to inform the posters that their posts are useful/helpful, and

... is for us to inform the moderators that a poster is behaving inappropriately/improperly.

We have witnessed how some of our members@BC have argued... when all hell broke loose.

Cheers... chris@ccc

There is a "X point(s) total" being shown under the "Latest Reputation Received". How does it come about?

blue 0
red -1

Then why when I mouse on your green box, it shows "cooler is an unknown quantity at this point" whereas some show "xxx is heading the right direction", "xxx is on a distinguished road", "xxx will become famous soon enough" etc?

**robin7** · 10-09-2007, 01:27 PM

(1) Member/User will become famous soon enough (at least 30 points)
(2) Member/User is heading the right direction (at least 20 points but less than 30 points)
(3) Member/User is on a distinguished road (at least 10 points but less than 20 points)
(4) Member/User is an unknown quantity at this point (less than 10 points)

No, the standard seems much higher than that?

No need to guess. You can find the exact details from the vBulletin manual (although Kwun may customise the system if he wishes).

We need someone brave enough to stand out, and voice different point of view. There are some ppl here abuse the "freedom of speech", as well as "karma system".

The worst part is, the ones abused the power, can mask themselves as the "hero" coming down to rescue the world. If they happen to spam such "xxx cheating" threads in CHN forum (yes, the CHN forum members do mention negative things about their own players, but not accuse their national team/system after every single tournament), I wonder what their karma might look like?

Well, what can i say?

**Athelete1234** · 10-10-2007, 06:53 PM

Wow, that's pretty sad. I read that post and that pretty much sums up what biased people do when they cannot think of an arguement; they make [anonymous] personal attacks. That's pretty sad, and pretty low.
