Title: Discussion about my karma
Post by: Mlerner12 on January 11, 2014, 07:49:13 PM
So, my karma's been dying lately. I don't really care about that, I care because it makes me feel unwelcome.

I get that I should have a karma drip like this, I'm in a trial and sketchy at best. I'm not upset that the karma's dropped. But some of my posts are for ridiculous things! I got a - on a joke I made in MAY just a page back in my history! I don't get why! Why neg me on a post that doesn't really deserve a neg instead of a post that does? That's all I want to know. Explain that and I'll be happy. Once I get one and read it, id like a mod to delete this.

Questionably,
m11

I personally have not given you neg karma, but I'm sure people are upset at lost cards and are simply karma stalking you

Not much to do :/

Mlerner, I know you're young and perhaps have messed up trades (just as I've messed up trades, like with Respawned) but you have to follow through and re compensate if you don't want to feel unwelcome

Because finding a post that warrants negative karma takes time (or maybe it doesn't in your case?). Either way, if the karma drop is warranted, there is NO reason to make threads like this.

Go to the highest bridge you can and sit in the edge, looking into the sunset, holding hands, gazing deep into her eyes... Then push her off

The drop is understandable in itself, but some of the e posts that GOT negged don't!

Mlerner you're just getting more negs. Relax


People aren't negging the post, they are upset and negging you

I think his point was he gets negs for really old ones and harder to find?

I've read over your trial, and to be frank, you're really sketchy Mlearner. Most of your posts seem like half-baked lies.

Sorry I just read over the trial, and I'm fed up of bad trades! It's was in a similar situation. Along time ago.
I apologize, but I have a right to an opinion.

Mlearner I thought you've been here long enough not to post these threads. ._.
If you are going to complain about karma (which is very much known as an irrelevant number) then just pm a mod about it.  Posting a thread where you complain does not fix anything.  Try to do the following.

1. fix your trading situation
2. Be yourself

I personally think this Karma system is a joke. They said it's supposed to better the experience on iMTG and make people feel welcome.

I've seen numerous threads like this, and I've seen trolls who cause lots of karma dips. So can anyone explain to me what the actual benefit of the karma system would be? Because all I've seen is that it causes unnessisary drama and an all around BAD experience. Which is the opposite of its original purpose.

Am I wrong in thinking this? Honestly just curious.

No Taysby I'm not angry.  I'm never angry online, because I can control my temper here because I can calm myself before hand before posting.  Although I can't do that in life (threw a pair of scissors at someone a couple days ago, luckily my dad taught me how to throw knives so I hey the wall right next to his head.)
I can do that here.

Luckily I could post right away here because I wasn't angry in the first place.  I gave my two simple steps, and that's all I will say, because that's all that is needed.

I was aiming for the wall next to his head though so at least I had a shread of sense!  Yeah, it is hard to get me angry, but when I am, people get scared.  Or at least should be

I don't think the system is bad, I just think people invest to much feeling in it.

From my perspective it is merely a number that shows that people either like what you post or how you conduct yourself here on the app.

If you make people happy and do good things like help resolve rule things, they like you. If you troll or do less than helpful things or are rude or whatever, someone gets butthurt and goes after the only thing they can since they don't know what else to do.

Personally if a person has a problem with something said I feel they should logically talk about it and get resolution...

People will always act this way though.  There will always be those people who will cause drama because they think Karma is a huge deal.  So why cause more problems?  Just to satisfy the three people who actually think Karma helps create a positive environment?  I don't think it's worth it.

At least the karma system reflects real-life.  If somebody has a problem with you in real life, rest assured you will hear it from them early and often.  On the other hand, well-wishers and the like usually don't continue to dwell on a past occurrence.

It's just a number and I'm pretty sure everyone goes through the confusion of random neg karma at one point in their iMTG lives, I know I was once at around -3 and was afraid to post for fear of the neg karma trolls.

If one or two people don't like what you have to say, take it with a grain of salt, don't change how you compose yourself to simply raise your karma.

Also, threads like these and the ones begging for karma really annoy me, neg incoming.

So what's this, mlerner? You can go post on threads that have been dead for months or even years, but if someone negs a post you made months ago it's to be questioned? You're the king of reading through old posts, how can you justify questioning someone else for doing so?

Reviving something after 2 weeks isn't necromancy. The thread is still warm.

The only thing worse than reviving threads like this is .poo.posting... And you did both.
