Bad karma for what?

As the topic says...Bad karma for what? Here's the post the bad karma was linked to.

The above is a comment made to me in closing out a thread, offering up that I agree with closing it and well...apparently it merited bad Karma and a response of ...

from someone I don't know. Now, this is just an example here to make a point and to wonder if others also get bad karma from people who just seem vindictive. You know, if I said something that was ugly, horrible, rotten, slamming, sure, hit me up for all the bad karma I deserve. I'm not posting this to complain, but instead to discuss what actually the Karma rating means to people, beyond just a way to get to premium status. To me, it has a sort of implication to say that you either contribute or you are just someone that is there to be a troll.

Good Karma for me implies I agree with something strongly or the post somehow affected me in a positive way or you were just blown away by the merit of what was said, even if I disagree because it was so thought out. I've never considered giving out bad Karma, but if I was going to do so, it would be for a post where someone is attacking, trolling, or just being outright rambunctious and rude, trying to raise ire. Of course, that sort of person, I would probably just report to a moderator instead, since it takes a lot to get me going, but eh, I see the merit of having bad Karma.

If this was posted inappropriately, I apologize now to the admins and moderators but I just could not see not making a comment on this and letting it just ride. If it requires movement or deletion, I will be glad to do so.

 

I was neg. repped twice for having fun.

That's right. HAVING FUN.

Luckily, Darky delayed the rep system, so now you can only rep three times a day.

 

really? 3 a day? i repped about 9............. but thats just me.

 

I would have to agree with you, and there really isen't much to say that wouldn't just be repeating what you just pointed out already.

 

@ Saxor - that's what he said.

I don't know if it happened =/

 

i was on an intelligent discussion spree :)

 

I agree, I got bad karma once and it linked to my aplication form on an RPG and I was like WTF??? I think it's either something else that you did and they were just looking for the quickest way to get to a post that you've done or they did it just because they can. I may be wrong though.

 

Someone de repped me once...reason being?

'fv'

>< STUPID PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM xP

 

I got derepped once. It really isn't a big deal.

 

Why is this in intelligent discussion though?

Dont worry, Ive gotten some pretty dang stupid reps...

 

I have got derepped before, but I purporsly wanted to get de-repped (though I didn't need the insults or the warning), mainly because the site is basically setting us a goal of trying to become Premium members so they can keep us active on Kh-vids, but I do not need aan influence like that, I stay on for my friends, Rping, Intelligent Discussion, so the pressure of becoming premium is something that doesn't pressure me.
Anyway, people do random things because they are bored or whatever, you can't stop it, just accept it.
Anyway Karma translates as choice.

 

I was fighting with a girl who called me a hypocrit (sp?). She
started to be horribly rude in a thread where someones mother
died. we were all saying sorry and then she stepped in and
said we were pathetic. HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO SOMEONE!!??

anyway, we both got a warning for fighting over someones death.
