I have noticed how some people sneak on your profile and give you a proverbial stabbing in the back, In the shape of a bad karma. They're like them snakes at school who used to run to the principle, or in my case headmaster, and sing like a canary. You know the slimy looking ones. I think transparency is called for here, whoever stabs you in the back, should have to front you, and explain their slimy
deed. That way you can't be negatively effected by someone who has the intellectual capacity of a lump of jelly, and who doesn't understand your point so proceeds to stitch you up. :-X

are you fucking serious? who gives a shit about karma. woopy fucking doo. if it really means that much to you... on an anonymous drugs forum... perhaps you are in the wrong place.
if you get trolled, its your own fault for biting back. join bluelight, maybe you will be more at home ;)

No its the point of some mooching behind your back like a bizzie (L/E and you know what ? I don't like your fecking attitude, U want a slap?
-
Piss ant !
-
depends where you slap me..
and will you clarify on what a bizzie is? if your calling LE you are sorely mistaken.
guess this board is useful after all... kept you off the main threads i suppose ;D

wds, karma is especially meaningful on an anonymous forum, because it means that the holder of that account has the respect (or disrespect) of the community. An account with a lot of karma will generally be viewed as more reliable than one with low good karma and a lot of bad karma.
-
I personally don't look at a person's karma score. I'm more interested in review threads and vendor feedback.
-
Honestly, I care.
And so do a lot of people. It's nice to have some indicator of the abrasiveness of someones post history.
Nice posters have a good karma ratio.. it actually works.
And it's good to be nice to each other... even on an anonymous forum.
Be safe,
Your DrugBuddy

lmfao. yea......na! dont work like that on SR . this is an ANONYMOUS forum. we are using TOR. we have millions of people with shill accounts posting all sorts or shit. whilst this forum does semi prevent this happening, it still does not eradicate it.
I have been here on SR since the start. I have another forum profile in which i have over 1500 posts, and over 100 karma, and less than -50.
i just use this account to give vendor reviews, as to not link profiles.
karma means NOTHING. especially when NomadBloodBath has a thread titled POSITIVE KARMA. where people post, and give other users karma, without having done anything, with the expectation they will receive positive karma in return. not dissing nomad, props on the thread, and will be happy to rib him more about it on irc, but this is just one example of why karma is USELESS for judging people. IMHO the only way is to chat on irc.
i see a ton of fuckwits on the forums with over 150+karma, and been members for only a couple months, check their postcount etc... and all their posts are in the karma thread.
maple... your retort? :p
-
Could you be so kind as to provide examples of these fuckwits?
The issue with using shill accounts is that while it is easy to avoid linking things with your original account, an account with an extremely low post count and zero feedback (referring to karma) is generally not going to be seen as having the same level of reliability as an account with many posts and a bunch of positive karma.
The 50 post limit is there specifically to prevent shill accounts from being created.
I have seen that thread. However, I do not believe that if someone posts a complwds, karma is especially meaningful on an anonymous forum, because it means that the holder of that account has the respect (or disrespect) of the community. An account with a lot of karma will generally be viewed as more reliable than one with low good karma and a lot of bad karma.

etely useless and offensive post that they will receive as much karma as someone that posts something useful.
If you could also provide proof that you do in fact own such an account, I would be much more inclined to believe this. I leave it up to you to figure out a valid method of doing so.

i know exactly why the thing was put in place you pumpkin. im just saying its pointless and a pain in the arse. all forum posts should be taken with a pinch of salt anyway. also why the fuck would you be more inclined to believe an acc with more posts and more karma, than one with fewer posts, but with more substance. not to mention join date is a big part of it IMO. some came at the start, others when that senator had a cry about sr, then others came after the gawker article.
so then you have to sift through that persons posts, looking for some substance, but no, all you find is shit to get them to their first 50 posts to get out of here, then 100 posts so they can use karma. yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa.. then see what they are about.
did you not read what i wrote about karma? just look at that thread, all those muppets have been members for a couple of months, have 500 posts, and 200 karma, 90% of which came from nomads thread!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is the point of karma? ? ? ? ? ? ?
or you would look at my profile. only 3 posts, just reviews for my fellow sr users. but no, now i have to spam up shit, just to review local vendors. its pointless.
a better captcha system and more spambusters would have been a better solution.
personally, i think a vouching system would have been more effective. and keep out said rifraf from certain forums. but onho, where is the liberalization and personal freedoms!
no i will not point out said fuckwits. you can make your own opinions on people.
and you have further proven your stupidity by daring to ask me to prove said profile. ::) i dont give a shit what you think. im simply here to boost posts to then be able to contribute to my local threads.
