Dubious honour

(1/7) > >>

Hi Guys
I started my new build on this brand new site today and after about 5 minutes I noticed my Karma shoot up to the heady heights of 2  ;D ;D
and then shortly after that I was on negative 2 :'( :'(
I therefore claim the dubious honour of being the first victim of the dreaded Smite attack, or as my friends put it
They needed to try it out on someone  ;D ;D ;D ;D
ummmmmmmmmm guys, is this safe????????
Pete

This is why I'm not a big fan of karma....

I don't know who/why I'm afraid. Not sure I can find out either. We could probably machine up a trophy for you though?  ;D

I think I will turn off smiting, if I can work out how. & will discuss with other admins the whole karma thing. I'm more inclined to allow a "thanks for this post" type system.

metalmad:
my friends were just having a little fun at my expense and it was not meant in any way to be taken seriously ;D
But after the three of us stopped laughing, I got to thinking this could really be abused badly ( we were in a 3 way skype conference at the time and it really was very funny  ;D)
I don't want to ruin Kama for everyone  but its only a matter of time before someone smites someone in earnest
it could get messy!!

 ;D ;D

Pete, the admin already removed the smite option - so Karma will now be back to the way we're used to it

Kind regards, Arnold

metalmad:
Hi Arnold
does that mean I don't get my trophy :'( :'(
Pete ;D
PS
One thing I did not like on TOS was a growing tendency to use Kama as a form of currency.
Personally I felt that went against the spirit of Karma as I saw it
