Every net +1 karma that you earn causes a bitcoin to be deposited in your SR account. :) It's tallied each night at midnight

This would be awesome but it's completely false.

The karma doesn't do anything really but give you some credibility?  For instance if you have -100 karma and +3 karma then others know that you're probably not someone they should take advice from.

Karma can only be handed out by full members.

You get negative karma for daring to express a view which someone happens disagrees with.
If you want to say anything that someone may disagree with, then set up another account and use it instead, and use your main account to say things that people will most likely agree with or not care enough to give any negative karma.

Ahh, no, that is not what you should do. Coz everyone knows that's what people do and it's lame.

Just use your one account and say what needs to be said, just don't be a dick about it. Simple.

But yes, karma is handed out by people with 100+ posts. If you are helpful on the forums people usually give you Karma. So like a forum rating.

Well you have -4 now...

Looking at your posts to the forum in the time you have been here, I would say some are not worded so well.

You come across as ignorant, not willing to learn, and for everything to be handed to them.

No offense meant, this is just the feeling I am getting for your posts. Everything you posted about including this thread have multiple answers on the forum already. All you need is a but of initiative.

You can't find out who gave you the -1 btw

Well if you don't give a shit, this thread is pointless. (However I would think its contradictions like that that leads to neg karma). Saying you don't care but arguing your point more.
If you want to become a vendor, do your research and don't make uninformed posts. Pretty simple.

If you are asking questions about how to get bitcoins, then realise that the forum has seen 1000+ of you asking the same uninformed questions. That in itself is enough for neg karma.

so if i understand correctly a few arrogant backstabbing asses instead of give answers to a new guy or at least tell him what he do wrong just do it this way?
Is it not just as much trouble to tell me what I do wrong that it is to give - karma?
What is this here, okay, i understand no new vendors hey.
Surprise i will just sell my shit
i thought this was a ....well don't even know now waht a load of crap
you say i will not know who give that rating so they are cowards
i ahve been here for maybe 2 hours and did nothing else but look around and say i want to sell coke

Unfortunately you have neg 1 now as well. But I agree, you are taking this shit way to seriously.

If you want to sell, as I said, do you research and sell, all the answers are waiting to those who look, just don't make a dick of yourself int he process. Not worth it.

i have been here only 15 minutes

the funny thing is...i did not ask anybody anything.
I have all covered, I have the btc, I have the stuff to sell. the account and name all there.
Just came here to find some friendly vendors who would say hey....welcome
I still think there are some cowards who think i am a threat selling mdma and coke
no other reason to give a bad karma after a few hours.
Suppose someone ask the wrong question, who are you to not tell anything but just say fuck you
Is this silk road=? shame on you

just lost a whole message but the answer was yes LOL
fuck the arrogant pricks that had never any problem when they started here...they knew everything and NEVER needed help
They started and knew all...no mistakes, nobody told them shit...right ?????????????
Its much cooler to give bad karma than it is to tell somebody ''hey, you better think of this or that''
Cowards, anonymous they do that, nobody said yes i did give that and this is the reason (you did not looked it up yourself you fuck ) and I did not even asked something...just had it all covered and just wanted to see what was going on here.
Well, that was clear, better stay away from those arrogant asses  and yes....give some more bad karma...who cares, not me LOL

Black you're just making things worse for yourself.

Chill the fuck out, it's only 'karma' you even said you didn't give a shit.. but still you seem to be getting worked up from the way you're structuring your sentences and use of language. Also calling the people here arrogant pricks isn't going to help is it?

If you're trying to find out information take time to read through the forums for a bit and make use the search function (you said you'd only been on 15 mins). If that still doesn't give you the answers you want then go ahead and post.

I am already on SR for some time. Made everything ready so I can start selling.
Looked around on the forum and never asked a thing.
Now I was here 15 minutes and was given -1 and just wanted to know why
You are right that I don't care, again I just wanted to know why.
If that is so, that one ask the wrong questions is it not nicer to point that out like a human being.
I think all those arrogant ...yes arrogant asses, have forgotten how they started.
Of course they knew everything, never asked the wrong question.
I don't care about bad karma (what is that anyway besides the karma we know) its the arrogance of  those few who never make mistakes.....
Have fun everybody, maybe today another stupid ''new'' fuck comes here ....if so....try to be nice, think how it was when you were ''young'' :-)

Yes, this is completely false. Where would he/she have got that idea? There's no free money in my bitcoin account. I also think some people misuse Karma as well. Some people give -Karma for simply having an opinion that conflicts with theirs, which is just petty. Really, it should be used for trolling and bad actions by forum members. I have given out about 40 +Karma now, but only 2 -Karma. Some of us are capable of using it, some aren't.

Its much cooler to give bad karma than it is to tell somebody ''hey, you better think of this or that''
Cowards, anonymous they do that, nobody said yes i did give that and this is the reason (you did not looked it up yourself you fuck ) and I did not even asked something...just had it all covered and just wanted to see what was going on here.
Well, that was clear, better stay away from those arrogant asses  and yes....give some more bad karma...who cares, not me LOL

Again, some members misuse it and secretly I think they get a kick out of giving -Karma but no +Karma. Stupid, really. And they're anonymous. With me, I always tell them I'm giving them Karma, even with -Karma, and explain what it specifically was for.  :-X

i gave you + 1 as i do not believe in this beyond flawed system think about it. you need to post 100 posts doesnt matter what you wrote some people have conversations on here and add them up. the ones with the 100 + are older vendors and buyers. trust me they do not llike new venors appearing giving low prices ,having sales and an opinion. look at mine at one point i had -69. all from the hatters, i have 70+ sales i 1 month, had a perfect feedback, till 1 scammer messed that up REPULSE64 .all my negative karma was from pissed off competition who were upset i came in with super low prices and did great. for all you NASCAR fans its called the Jeff Gordon effect. same thing happened to him when he joined nascar, won all the races and the old racers and their fans got mad.

Hey Black, as one newbie to another I agree it does catch you by surprise when you suddenly get a couple of minuses, but wtf are we gonna do about that?... we are going to keep reading, keep posting, stay true to our beliefs and be nice!  Just like the real world man, that wont always work and you will still get a minus here and there... i think some people use it a bit like their car horn and give anyone in their way a blast.  I think Razorspyne has it pretty well nailed!

All the best for a good Christmas mate,  take it on the chin and keep the faith.

thank you and very much appreciated.
This is exactly why SR will go down eventually , the ''seniors'' trying to keep the young ones out. Its a threat to their established accounts.
So scared to loose business what they will loose anyway LOL
I am a well established vendor trying to see what and who are the ones fucking up....got already a lot of them LOL

I was wondering what qualifies someone as a jr member and full member it looks like people with 50+ comments are  jr members and 100 are full members?  I applied to get vendor status and am waiting for them to get back to me.  :)

Post by: Razorspyne on December 20, 2012, 07:06 pm
TY for those sentiments morphineman. Nobody should give you -Karma for cheap prices, that's just wrong. And seeing that a lot newbies are getting more -Karma than +Karma, +1 to others (not all) on this page. If this is how Karma is going to be given out then perhaps we should not have it at all. It just leaves a bit of a bad taste when someone gives you minus with little to no cause.

I was wondering what qualifies someone as a jr member and full member it looks like people with 50+ comments are  jr members and 100 are full members?  I applied to get vendor status and am waiting for them to get back to me.  :)

Yeah those figures are correct. In addition, the catchpa disappears at full member which means less timeouts when posting.

One thing though.

you need to post 100 posts doesnt matter what you wrote some people have conversations on here and add them up. the ones with the 100 + are older vendors and buyers.

Currently there is 72 hour rule where you can't give the same person any more Karma for 3 days. If newbies could give karma, it would technically be possible to kre-8 account after account and dish out quite a lot of -Karma on someone without making a single post. Some members start a new username just to post an unpopular thread or be a troll. Imagine how they would use this.

Don't forget, you can always get good Karma by making a post on the +Karma thread nomad bloodbath (the mod) started. I usually don't go myself, but give it a shot. Piece out. Drive safely.

Post by: jesse on December 21, 2012, 12:45 am
there are some like BLUEVEIL  and EXTOsomething (probably much more) who give shit to a lot of new vendors/customers here on the forum. Try to sort that out now....
I know they give bad karma and trolling because the get karma and points for it. I asked and they admit it.
I think it is so stupid to scare young ''blood'' away but i am sure they want to keep their customers from going to the competition.
Personally, as a vendor, I am disgusted by that, Its like mafia ...a cartel and i think we, the community should not let that happen.
I think anybody who want to be a vendor has the right to do so...not only that, also get the help and support instead of being bullied  and scared of.
A sr vendor myself have no problem with more sellers, even -of course- welcome them because it means more possibilities for everybod
