In the old forum that i was a member of they had these things called karma points. Basically, they are points that show how popular someone is in that forum. The more points, the more popular they are. So i was wondering if this forum would have the same thing cause i really enjoyed them.

Nope, we don't have anything like that. I'm sure fab can tell you why. I don't know personally, all I can say is that we don't have them.

Many a war have been caused by these, and it can only result in misery. It's pretty useless otherwise :-\.

I could imagine that it'd make people stoop so low as to constantly SPAM in order to raise their post count. Is that even how the points are aquired? Or is it by other people suggesting them as good members? I'm unsure about that whole bit so, yeah..

No, all u gotta do is click a button under their avatar thing that says exalt to bring up their points or smite to bring them down. And u can only vote once an hour or sumting like that.

Yeah, it definitely sounds like something that could cause trouble. For the most part we all like each other anyway though, and generally people who have problems with us don't stay very long. (Unless there's something I don't know, and the rest of the forum members secretly hate me or something, and...nah, I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who actually hates me...)
But yeah, people'd probably smite people when their own karmas are low and junk and things could get ugly. We've got such a nice community going I'd hate to see it wrecked over something stupid like that.

Exactly. Knowing us, it'd seem as if we're doing it all in fun at first, then eventually either grow into something even worst, or fab would just remove the whole system altogether. Like Danish Roll said, we're all peaceful and friendly here, so it'd be the more temporary members, with stupid intentions in joining the forum, that would just come in here and wreck the place. Not that it'd much to us though, as we already know the type of people that we all are, and besides, not even post count matters much here, so it'd just be another useless accessory that we don't really need.

...I don't hate you, and if your kudos dropped too low I'd raise it every hour on the hour till it was a decent number. I mean come on, you pay your rent, you give fab his cookie dough on time, what's not to like?

And to add to Dashe's list of things to like about you, your alias is "TIESEL BONNE". Remember, this is Dashe we're talking about. I'm sure that both her and GSG would keep your number up. I'd just give 10's to everyone by the hour, and in no time, everyone would be higher than me. Score!

then It would be rather pointless because voting for YOU...ok not really I would probably forget to vote or I wouldn't know that it is there any way.

I agree with the general feeling of the thread. It's unnecessary and has the potential to cause a lot of problems.
Are we ready to lock? Seems that way...
