It was a award a prize a merit icall it what you will it was something earned albeit only in the ether!
I think karma was good when it was awarded for something useful .....but as baysearcher said - the meaning of it could get watered down a bit I guess karma points ment different things to different people A mate of mine is a member of a mercadies forum (is that how you spell Mercadies?) and they have a 'thanks' button which is similar to our karma. You would think the purporse of it would be pretty clear but apparently they have the same 'discussions' as us regarding the 'thanks' lol so its not just us
Karma probably is the wrong word by the dictionary definition, i can't argue with that, but I did like the system and it was useful.
I said it was a bone of contention ages ago good riddance to it i say but s still think we should have been consulted before all those nice comments were binned !
Ahhhhhhh lets just all get over it its gone It does give us somthing else to remanicce about on those long evenings I remember back in the day when we had a karma system on tlb oh they were the days the good old days lmao I miss it and im like rickyroo in the fact i dont like change However weather we like it or not the world and life is constantly changing evolving and devolving Its a case uo keep up or get left behind im afraid So even though im not keen on the new forum i am thankfull its back and ill do my best to adapt and overcome
I don't want to disappoint you, but Malc claimed most smited title before the rework (after Illdoit), you did in fact get the most 69s though, so some consolation
He wouldn't have got much from me. l was one of the top 5 smitted members.it was a ver exclusive clique to belong to. You had to be bad.
Agree with some of the comments said here, especially Para's last one, however one thing Karma really helped us with was when buying something from someone - you could see if there was any previous sales people had commented on to know whether to buy from them or not. Not sure now without asking people directly that have already replied on a for sale thread how you get an idea of that. Sorry - this comment of Para's: Ahhhhhhh lets just all get over it its gone It does give us somthing else to remanicce about on those long evenings I remember back in the day when we had a karma system on tlb oh they were the days the good old days lmao I miss it and im like rickyroo in the fact i dont like change However weather we like it or not the world and life is constantly changing evolving and devolving Its a case uo keep up or get left behind im afraid So even though im not keen on the new forum i am thankfull its back and ill do my best to adapt and overcome
I liked the fact my karma points were pretty much all genuine, and were at about a 10% ratio against my post count, no karma whoring here!
