That thing to the left of your name where people can give you a rating from 1 to 5. I recently got two votes, one star. :P Anyway, what do you think about karma? This poll has been moved to another forum. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

*picks up phone* Do you still have one star now? Good! I am feeling happy right now for reasons unknown. :) EDIT: I noticed you are an apprentice. I dont know why people vote votes for apperentices. They have not ben around long enough to really evaluate. [ Thursday, July 22, 2004 17:29: Message edited by: GIFTSare2cudly ] Posts: 249 | Registered: Saturday, July 26 2003 07:00 |

Djur's Karma Rule in effect. Talking about Karma deserves an Evil Priest ranking. [ Thursday, July 22, 2004 20:05: Message edited by: Andrea ] -------------------- I've got a pyg in a poke. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I don't see why ben's got only one star. His grammar is perfect, he doesn't abuse gremlins and the poll was actually good. Also, I asked about karma when I first came here which resulted in me getting about nine votes and two stars. And I even asked people to rank me, which must be the most provocative action one can take. Yes, those were the days... -------------------- ahhahaha i rule u droool Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

My voting is not regular: I don't immediately rate anyone I see. The only two times when I bother to rate someone is when I read their post and think, either "*******", or "<3". That's why I've never given anyone anything but 1 or 5. :rolleyes: And I've had to earn my karma slowly. The first 3-4 votes I got were pretty unanimous on giving me one star. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Bleh karma. Tell you what. Everyone vote me as an Evil Priest so I'm on one star. I really do not know which people keep on voting on this, but some flaming muppeteer actually voted me good karma. Oh well. Talking about karma, talking about karma, talking about karma. Blah, blah, blah. Now let's see if any of you actually can give me a bad rating. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

I'm well aware. I've been rated 23 times and I'll bet that counts for most of the more influential members here. I would say I can sink lower. But only by insulting newbs. :D -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Karma is very useful. I think, by rating them one star, I've managed to drive at least one person away from these boards. I always smile when I think about that :P EDIT: Oh, and giggle in an evil manner.

I generally disregard karma entirely, but it does serve one useful function: bragging rights. I am the most rated person on Spiderweb. That means everyone loves, hates, or is ambivalent about me! I feel so loved/hated/ambivalized! —Alorael, who finds karma meaningless. If you don't know someone, you shouldn't let someone else tell you what to think. If you do know them, you don't need outside opinions. Besides, most ratings don't correspond to anything meaningful. Getting good or bad karma is just... karma.

I've given about twice as many 5-star ratings as 1-star ratings, and one 3 - RoR, for whatever reason. No 4's or 2's. I tend to vote for the same reason as Aran, although it's usually not just one post that influences my decision. Karma may be meaningless, but it's nice to be loved and have visible proof. In the form of stars, you perverts. And when you get a rating of one or two stars, that's usually when you decide that karma doesn't matter. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

I've never had ratings enabled. I've given 20 1-star ratings, 1 2-star rating, 1 4-star rating, and 13 5-star ratings, over my entire career. My other accounts have given 0 ratings. It wouldn't be fair. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I think in that respect the karma is actually a good thing: It allows people to relieve their feelings - usually the negative ones - in voting (Hah, take *that*, you *) and thus prevent such feelings from having to leak over into flame posts. I'm pretty sure if we didn't have this way of saying what we think of each other, the boards would soon be cluttered with rants. :P Edit: Imban, but that's the whole *fun* in multiple accounts...

Meh. Generally, if I'm yelling at someone for fongchongery, I sometimes just decide to take the time out to rate them an evil priest while I'm at it. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
