Girish Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 They should bring back the karma system, in my opinion, it made people more better behaved, cause people wanted those shiny stars. Or at least award more members, for various small things, like reporting posts, Unique posts. Just give people more awards, so other people could see them, and try to be like them... Did you ever hear of something called 'karma-whore'? And I think people do get verbal commendations for helping the community; it's just that others cannot see it. And giving people more awards is stupid. We'll then have award-whoring.

Where's the problem? Beats the sh*t out of topics called "How do you wipe your ass?". The results will be amusing at worst, and useful at best.

And if they brought back the old system your log would have negative stars.

That's just the small picture, Struff. The root of 'karma whoring' lies in the fact that people expect to get rewarded for whatever they do that they themselves would think as karma worthy. And given the 11 and 12 year old kids that we have on the forum, you should very well know how they'll react when not given one of those shiny little stars. On the whole, what I'm trying to say is - Don't expect anything, just do it because you like it.

CrazeLaze Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) I still think we need more of a "Positive Reinforcement", just my opinion. Also, what's so bad about karma-whoring, as long as they are not spamming the forums, I don't see why it should be a problem? So a few members might get a little angry, cause they won't get a karma star, I think members like that shouldn't be here in the first place. @Waddy I'm sorry. I don't want to be a bad guy. Sometimes I don't think.

Not saying you are mate. Just saying that you would be in negative if we did the old system.

Struff Bunstridge Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 girishb: that makes sense mate. If I could think of anything that'd be useful to everyone, I guess I'd go ahead and do it without expecting a medal for it, so...yeah.
