OK everyone, can I have your attention.....

Go ahead Doc, I see you are trying to make a point......

I don't call all those forum games noteworthy posts, just spam that takes up half the recent replies. I really wish there was a way to remove the Off Topics from Recent Posts because maybe 1% are worth a look and then some get locked anyway.

"Instant karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev’ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you’re ev’rywhere
Come and get your share"

~John Lennon

The current 'Stardockia-wide' karma list plus the disappearing karma problem make me suspect that Bara is in the process of making karma totals consistent across all Stardock forums, even if you've never made a post at that forum directly. Or else putting a filter on the report page to exclude 'non-local' sites is a low-pri task.

@the OP: That earlier chocolate-as-crank line is one part of it; karma can mean nothing when you have none, but if somehow folks pile some on you and then you 'act the same' but go for a while without more karma, you think about karma and get irritated by confronting your own vanity. Also, I think the Elemental devs once used karma as one criterion for choosing a select group of beta volunteers for some NDA-covered testing.

Nor did I.  I just had an interesting conversation in a Forum Game discussing the worth of karma, and me and my peers there concluded together that most karma is given for no real reason at all, and that it measures nothing important.  We also agreed that karma should only be given for TRULY noteworthy and interesting things, yet I'm a hypocrite in that respect; most of mine is for simply giving out lols.

Just wanted to add, I am thankful for the Karma that has been bestowed on me by others, I enjoy helping folks and if that's what they want to do in thanks, by all means.... I just think that as a whole, its a bad idea for the site. I don't see that since it has been implemented there has been any significant betterment of the site as a result.

Karma, like life itself, is what you make of it.

No, but thanks for asking.
