      I vote to remove it.. And now I have -35… Only other post was me asking someone a questions to assist...

      I'm kinda annoyed now... I could understand if I was having a heated conv with someone but to be at -35 is a freaking joke... I dont care who did it, but would love to see an audit on how often I was smite...

        It doesn't even show the admins who voted. Honestly, it's better when it's blind/anonymous to avoid retaliation/response (bad or good).

        Admins can, however, reset the numbers to whatever they like.  ;D

          Reset karma points eh? Seems like that might bring some bad karma upon you!  ;)
          Edit: That wasn't me by the way.  ::)

          I see there are several systems available for SMF, karma description mod for example. I agree though, knowing who is smiting you can only lead to retaliation in most cases.

            You guys are right, its better not to know because of retaliation.. But good to know that it can be reset by the admins

              The funny shit is that I see Jimp having -1 and suddenly he has 0 again….

              The intention of the karma system has been tampered with...and therefore it sucks like hell to create a "me is better than you" environment in here...

                @Cino I helped you out, -1 is better than 0, as 0 is for nerd-wonk-geeks…  ;)

                  That makes me feel better!  ;D

                  My earlier edit was aimed at JimP. I was attempting to draw a humorous connection between playing god and real life karma coming back to bite you but then when Jim was smitten it looked like I'd done it.  :-\

                      Well there's a difference between karma that was deserved, and karma that someone clicked as a joke or because they were trolling. If it's being abused, then it can/will be reset.

                        Well my new best bud router_wang seems to think smiting me is fun..  As I stated in that thread and the PM that goes unanswered from him.  Does not take a brain surgeon to figure out my smite level goes up every time he shows activity.  And then nothing when between.

                        At like -24 now..

                          ;D Don't feed the trolls!

                          It's not the first time someone has made that mistake over the term 'WAN net'. To be fair 'net' and 'subnet' are different terms, I've argued it should be labelled 'WAN subnet' before.

                            The system is working as designed. If you don't want negative karma, then you should not insult users. Insulting or belittling them does nothing to promote the project or the image of the project.

                              Dude I never insulted you…  So you admit it then your just clicking on smite every time you get on the board..  That is not how the system was designed to work, but kids will be kids :rolleyes:

                                  The only truly useful thing I can think of using it for is so the community can quell spammers without admin intervention.  If your account is new and you receive neg feedback you should be blocked from posting until an admin says it's ok - preferably with all your posts automatically hidden and marked for approval.  If it's strictly time limited like to the first 12-24 hours of an account's life it should limit abuse to very rare edge cases.

                                  No idea if SMF has such capability.

                                    The only thing this thread is useful for I can think of is:

                                    Merry Christmas everyone!

                                    The Netherlands will make the soccer world championship next time :-D

                                      Merry Christmas and happy smiting.
