ShogunWarrior Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think Karma is anti-developmental and really doesn't end up changing anything.I have [b]-4[/b]! which I'll say without problem, because there isn't a reason for me to have it.The Karma system doesn't work for a number of reasons:-Someone who gets corrected can -Karma out of spite.-Someone can just -Karma for spite, no reason.-There's no way to change a habit or develop.-The people who are helped can't +Karma because they're new.What you need is a "Resolved" mod which allows you to give credit to the people who helped you.

wildteen88 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think the Admins are trying to find a way of adding a comment (not sure if they still are though) for why a person has graced/smited you. Also hopefully the solved button may take a return too. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15395-karma/#findComment-64202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 you know, everybody seems focused on looking at the bad aspects of the karma system. I'm fairly certain that the karma system was built with something good in mind; that is, to give credit where credit is due. Sometimes I know an answer instantly, and sometimes I spend hours trying to find a solution for someone. The very least I should get in return is some kind of recognition. Is the karma system flawed? yes it is. If you can figure out a more balanced form of it, then hell, I will write the mod and submit it myself.

ShogunWarrior Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 That's exactly it, I get -4 Karma while I spend 90% of my posts in PHP HELP and spend time helping someone on a project over considerable time. Guess what - SMITE! Oh, that will really give me incentive, and no way to know why it happened.

Koobi Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 maybe the problem lies in us expecting something in return instead of genuinely wanting to give to or help someone? :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15395-karma/#findComment-64251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogunWarrior Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Maybe, but I really doubt people want to "get a bad reputation" if they genuinely were trying to help, never mind positive Karma.
