We've had time to adjust to the karma cap, so I'd like to know what you guys/gals think. Do you like it? Do you find yourself giving/taking more of less karma than before?
I personally like it. All these giant numbers seemed kinda intimidating in a way. It felt like such a small thing when I started out with 0 and I saw gorzo with his giant number(can't remember it exactly). I give about the same karma. I don't think I've negged anyone in a while, so less taking of karma on my part.
I was already pretty shy for giving +'s or -'s, but I do find myself giving far less +'s after the cap. As taysby said, it doesn't bother me too much, but neither did gorzo's 700+ or whatever it was, it was kind of like a challenge, almost, how close can I get to him. But as we say to all the newcomers, karma is just a number and means nothing.
I kind of like it. I haven't really looked at my real karma number since the cap.
I still check everyday lol but tbh Idc about karma or anything karma related
As a mod there appears to be less malicious karma being given out
I still give/take karma same as ever. I kind of like the 100 cap actually.
The system works 😫😂😆👍👋🙌
I give karma the same as before and I still don't care about my own.

*whispers* taysby ;)
I don't think I deserve a say in this considering I'm not even close. But why was there a cap in the first place?
Prevention of karma whoring was what I was told.

Lol, everyone deserves a say, it could affect anyone. Also, it affects you because the way you see others changes. Did you think the whole "Gorzo, Karma: Its over 9000!" thing was intimidating? Do you think the new syste!m is more beginner friendly?
I haven't really felt a difference. Though, I never really paid attention to my Karma, anyways. It feels more like if you're at the cap, it just means that you're well-liked, known or respected in the community or you've just been around for a while. Under the cap just seems like "Oh, they haven't been around long enough, or if they have, people just don't like them"
I'm fine with the Karma number either way.
I think karma is pretty irrelevant from start to finish, as a whole it's caused more immature arguments and unrest than it has good. Because karma doesn't actually require any good deed of any sort you can't even use it was a real factor in determining peoples actual credibility, just whether they're opinion panders to the consensus of the forum populace as a whole (you can however gauge where people stand on as far as popularity of comment, "I like this guy he's funny" or "this guy is always soooo annoying" or "sometimes this guy says good stuff, but not always...").
It's as cute as liking stuff on Facebook but if you really want to know what people are about you ultimately still need and find out what they have written and will write. Else that leaves a prejudice against people for having little or more karma than the others (mainly in the case of negative karma)
