So I'm not a Fan of the Karma system

Newschoolers is changing, in both positive and negative ways. It has moved from a small underground awesome site to an actual business. Thats what i miss, old fashioned newschoolers, no Ads, you could actually see picture of the day, blogs were non-existent, and good old rants were common place. That is that the karma system symbolizes, the change. Too much sucking up goes on, don't be a dickhead, but don't be afraid to say something because your karma will drop. i miss that, but there is no going back, not now. So might as well except the change. In its tribute the business idea of newschoolers, the actual store is a brilliant idea. Its brilliancy run on the people who actually matter, ideas for the show are taking directly from the audience. That idea is the primary thing i want to found my business on, the actual customer.

 
I agree with the people being too nice part. I'm guilty of doing it sometimes too. Like its cool if this website is chill, but when everyone is fakely nice to everyone and there is no controversy/random rants/hate then it gets really old.
 
Totally agreed. You shouldn't be able to take someone from a 8 to a 2 just because of one post.
 
i was experimenting with it yesterday on a member, if i went from a 0/10 to a 10/10 (or the opposite) on his karma, it would raise or lower it by exactly 700 points. SICK. oh, and i left him at a 5/10.

i'm not a fan of the karma system, then again i don't really care either way because to me it's just a stupid number.
 
sorry for the double post but i just went back and messed with that same member's karma again and now i can only change it by 196 points. interesting. i'd like to know exactly how the formulas for karma work.
 
The reason no one knows is so people dont take advantage of it.

Look at how post-counts got abused...
 
i completely agreed with you on that. kids jump on the bandwagon and will eat kids shit if their cool enough. i jsut didnt say anything cuz im often too lazy to login

 
for some reason im rated a 4/10. im not a dick. i just make some occasional comments. maybe someone has a vendetta against me.
