          My Ratio is better than your Derelict??  Yeah that doesn't make lot of sense… I am way more likely to post something that pisses someone off ;)

          "over meaningless Internet points"

          Meaningless - you mean they are nothing more than reddit karma??  I thought the ratio was the actual of length of your e-penis?  Well WTF??

            My own opinion is it should be positive only, to only provide a happyness feeling in the community.

            If negative is allowed, I think allowing it to be done anonymously and without a reason just is inviting abuse.

              over meaningless Internet points

              They're not meaningless.  In a tech forum, the karma score can show you who is helpful & dedicated vs Joe Rando who just popped in and is spouting nonsense replies.  Low karma does not equal bad advice, but high karma tends to consistently have the correct information.

                Or a clique of people boosting each other.  Or people inflating their own, etc.  The karma ratings here are useless.  Even John presents evidence of that.

                One vote up/down per message so that others can see which messages are valued, and is used to make up a posters karma +/- I think would be much more useful and due to the one vote up/down per message helps keep it from being abused.

                  Well, since they're apparently useless, why are we wasting time talking about them at all then?

                    To inform those who seem to think they are meaningful just how useless they are.  Also to provide input on what would make them meaningful and useful.  This is after all the "feedback" forum.

                            Likewise.  And I'm sharing my opinion.  Then KOM suddenly wants the thread closed rather than discussing.  A very typical response used to squelch opposition when ones position is weak.

                              You misunderstood what KOM meant. "/thread" was meant in jest, like an online forum version of a mic-drop.

                              He definitely wasn't literally requesting that we shut down this thread.

                                So now you are the voice of KOM?

                                If KOM's close thread request was in jest then there are ways to make that clear with more than a dozen emoji cons to chose from.  Usually when people request a thread lock they are not joking.  And mods don't seem to take it as a joke.

                                    I cannot believe that this thread has gotten so silly so quickly.

                                    Yes, I was joking.

                                    No, I did not want the thread closed.

                                    Can we stop arguing about this nonsense now, please?  I'm regretting ever replying in the first place.

                                      I don't feel that providing feedback for improvements is silly at all.

                                      As for nonsense needing to be stopped.  You're the one making jokes rather than providing serious input on how the ratings system could be improved.

                                      As for your involvement in the thread.  Only you can control that.

                                        edit= and as I come back to edit "why"  to "what comment contributed"  I see I got my first smite..  ;D ;D ;D

                                            smites piling up again I assume due to my posts in here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=125105.0

                                            Smiting someone because you dont agree with their opinion is abusive in my opinion, smite someone if they rude or just trolling but for just offering an opinion?

                                            I think someone is toying with me, another smite right after this post.  Great system abuse galore. Might get 50 smites by end of day?
