    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. ;)

    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.

    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. ;)

    What Confucius said about posting @Badminton Central

    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

    Is that the longest post@Badminton Central ???

    Hey ctjcad,

    Thank you for the link...

    It will take me a long, long time to digest what was posted there about Confucius. :):):)

    Is that the longest post@Badminton Central ??? :confused::confused::confused:

    And, here is another quotation... :):):)
    Indian religious teacher and founder of Buddhism, Buddha, 563-483 BC, said...

    "Through zeal, knowledge is gained, through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost. Let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow."

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    I thought Sir Dink is a gentle panda? Looks like he turns into a very emotional panda now! Need more karma to calm him down! :p:D

    The fall of bamboo forests in the name of development and progress has seen pandas developing a taste for graphite shafts it seems. It is expected that the improvement in fabrication technology will spur their appetite towards the more exotic carbon nanotubes in the near future.

    They still however, prefer the more expensive Japanese variety developed by a former maker of fishing nets and wooden floats, now the most popular brand of graphite shafts with interlocking strings in the world.

    What they do with the nylon strings are however, open to speculation. Many theorised that they were used as fishing lines.

    damn, now I have to be nice and suck up to people ;)

    I like the system, and it should work ebtter when it's fully implemented and better known (I think I saw a forum who called it 'rep' it worked quite well, though many posters post a "+rep" in the specific thread in order to show who did it...)

    the only risk I see is a certain distrust to newer members, or dictactor member...
    "my karma is high, therefore I'm right" or a "you can't be right, you're just a newbie".
    Though it's certainly a better standard than just postcount ;)
