Title: Karma
Post by: tinyGRS121 on May 01, 2013, 01:08 am
How do you give +/- karma?

How do you view who has given you +/- karma and for what reason?

I think only people with 100+ posts can give karma.
It's usually given due to what you post. If you post spam or negative posts or be abusive people give you bad karma. If you give people info or help you get good karma.
That's how I gather it works anyway.

Thanks Fiend4it. But can you see who gave you karma and what post they are referring to? I'm trying to figure out how I got -2 karma already!

once you've made 100 posts you'll see a  [thank] [discourage]  under the Karma.

There seems to be a craze a the moment where people give bad karma just because they can, particularly if you ask questions about karma, it seems to trigger their mean side.  Don't sweat it, there's nothing you can do.  I've just tried to balance you both with a bit of good but sadly, people will be people so expect more of the bad stuff.

seems like many people just elect neg karma for zero reasons other than they can

Yep. I've been neg'd twice in a day apparently for helping new members figure out PGP and other nefarious acts!

A lot of good people here, but a fair few a..holes as well.

PB.

I've just been through and Karma-ed the rest of you..  I feel a bit like one of those fairy godmothers sprinkling sparkly bits on people!

I had the same issue. Picked up some negative Karma and couldn't figure out what I could possibly have posted that would be worthy.
