Title: Who goes around negative repping everyone?
Post by: TheSocialEngineer on August 12, 2012, 03:06 pm
I've noticed even the best posters on here with very helpful and insightful posts have negative karma. Is it LE doing the neg repping or are there just lots of haters and trolls on here?

Probably the same immature users who also make all these spam threads and posts or are blatantly disrespectful to other users just because they have a difference in opinion.

At first I was like WTF when I got a few negative karma, so I re-read my posts and such, but now I know it just randomly gets put there. I personally have given out maybe 5 or 6 negative karma points and that is to people who were down right rude assholes to other members for no reason. Not because their favorite color is red and mine is blue.

The Karma system IMO is total bullshit! Some people just throw it around like confetti. God forbid someone else may have a different opinion to theirs! Members like Shannon, who have dedicated a lot of time to helping others on this site with things such as the use of  PGP, shouldn't have so much negative Karma. ??? The SR Karma system is more of a gimmick than anything else.

It's much easier to give someone a neg than to point out why you think they're wrong!

Does anyone even care about Karma? If I see a member with lots of neg karma I perceive them to be a skilled polemicist rather than a bastard

If I see someone with, for example, +2/-38 then I assume they're a scumbag and give them another -Karma simply for the lulz because they obviously don't give a damn. Other than that I only do if I have a personal vendetta against them or they say something incredible stupid. ^-^
