What is Karma?

[HardcoreHunter]

Does it just raise in relation to post and likes ratio?

Karma is just if you like the way someone is or posts then give them a karma. Kind of an over all "like" instead of just a post like.

Oh, OK. I was wondering why I was stuck at 6...

[nameraka]

thank you. i was confused on this as well.

[viperxmns]

Seems kinda like getting valentines in class. From what I seen on the teevee.

Humor me - I'm old, and sometimes this new-fangled technology messes with me...how does one give karma?

click the 'like' button under anyone's icon in a post

You just click the like where it says karma

under the username where it says the post count and stuff.

I was a girl scout so I'll let him do it by himself.

A Girl Scout? Cringe (flashes back to being a cookie mother and being stuck with cases of whatever the lo-fat healthy cookie of the year was...)

[Lucis]

Ohhhh is that what the Like under the user name is for?

That's too bad.  That's sad being stuck with low fat cookies.

Thin Mints and peanut butter patties were the best.

My favorite were smoa's. A lot of people seem to not like them, but I guess you have to be a coconut fan.

So, am I getting like 10 karmas per post or something?  oO  Are there even 150 unique users here?  Can you karma someone more than once?  I don't understand.

 

Also, what are those little tan cubes over the icon, like Misaka has 5 of them?  I had 1 for awhile, but then it went away. 

[Admin]

they're supposed to be like stars/rank symbols.  They've never really worked.  sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't.

 

Originally it was just volunteers have 5, and newbs had 1 and then higher ranks had 2 then 3 then 4.

as far as the karma goes, somebody must ... reallllly like u.

 

could be good could be creepy.  that's the fun of karmas!

[Gina Szanboti]

That's why I asked if one person could [karma] the same person multiple times or only once.  Since [karma] is a generalized sentiment compared to liking a post, it seems like once per user should be the limit.

 

Can you unkarma someone you karma-ed?  ::protectively grabs all her karmas before someone takes them away::

no. 

[Gina Szanboti]

Is that no to both questions?  ::brandishes dental instruments threateningly::

[Misaka]

So uh what am I getting involved in?

[Gina Szanboti]

Dunno.  I'm not the sort to pry into your private life.  What kinky or illegal things you get involved with are none of my business.  But I'm here to listen if you need to unburden.  :-X

 

 

As for me, I'm still trying to find out if you can karma the same person more than once, or if karmas can be taken away.  So far, it appears that at least one of those is a no,  but which one, or if it's both, I can't suss out from the ambiguous clues I've been given. 

[Misaka]

Smite isn't activate so you can only gain not take

Now the karma is limited to the like on your mini-profile

 

So you can only karma like one per mini-profile on the page

So for instance in this thread you posted 4 times so the user can only up you 4 times based on your posts in a thread

 

Now when they are removed from the board post/thread they don't get removed from your counts the only thing deducted is your posts/thread count everything else stays the same

 

Does this help?

 

 

[Gina Szanboti]

I'm not sure.  So 6 people karmaed every post I made so far?  oO  I find this hard to believe.    Most people can't be bothered even liking a post, let alone both liking and karma-ing, which sounds like what it would take to achieve those numbers.  Even less likely that 150 different people karmaed me.  I figured someone must've just been mashing away on the karma button for the hell of it, which sounds more reasonable to me.

[Misaka]

You are at 151 karma right now

I'll show you what I mean

 

Edit;

Now you are at 156

Do you see what I mean?

[Gina Szanboti]

I assume that means you just hit me 5 times.  When I first asked, I had about 15 posts, 15 likes, and 150 karma, which, if I understand it correctly, means that more people (10 to 1 more) were giving me karma than likes for each post.  That's kinda bizarre, based on other people's ratios of posts:likes:karma.  So it's still baffling to me.  Weird.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before it was unlimited where you could bash it now it's restricted to on 1 per user
