if you only knew... do you want me to report this constant stalking or are you going to continue making lame "jokes" and making an ass out of yourself until your body says stop?

[SLCPUNK]

But if the natural selection fits..........

The best you can ever hope for is to hit 0.

They're called "karma" points because, I think,that's what the board software calls them.

[speed-stone]

don't you know what karma is? it comes back to get you.

[pilferk]

Yes, I know what karma is.

I'm sure the person asking the question does, too.

It seems they were asking why the particular label was used, rather than "reputation" or whatever other board software calls it.

Karma is a mental force which causes positive or negative thinking. If you do something bad, karma will come to bite you in the ass, and if you do something good, karma will reward you. That is why they're called karma points... perhaps if positive Karma points were added, we'd all feel more positive about this.... I dunno.... just me rambling now!

[Evolution]

If people got positive ones we would get the exact same arguments.


Plus how do you decide when a poster deserves one?

[Mandy.]

Exactly! There's nothing like a "brilliant" post. People would have different opinions about what is brilliant and what is not, therefore it would make the whole positive karma thing unfair. On the other hand, rules are rules. You accept it or you don't, and if you don't then you shouldn't have registered in first place.

[Axls Locomotive]

does anyone actually understand that the karma points in this situation dont actually refer to karmaitself ...they are being used as a device to judge a persons worthiness for a ban

so all these arguments on how to get positive points are pointless (sorry about the pun).
