Even if there were something to the choice of word beyond simply removing offensive language, seems to me Piotr's saying no one should refer to women as whores.

I think people just like to argue

I like this one At the end of the day we don't know exactly why we made decisions such as these. I remember vaguely that at the time when I was adding offensive words people might use, I was finding words and trying nice warm fuzzy feeling replacements for them. So when one would want to say, .love. you .bore. it would make the offender say the opposite. That joke is now partially ruined, thanks to political correctness

As for the other petition, are we all clear that your karma is still visible in full detail, including %, on your public profiles? To people for whom karma matters, including yours truly, it is still accessible with a little bit more effort added.

Yes, but when things are not easily visible, it makes them less important. To me, there is no point in having karma work like this. I think either have it or get rid of it, but not something in between.

It's such a silly thing to petition. Karma DOES NOT MATTER. At the end of the day, it's just a number.

To me, karma is mostly about seeing the trolls early.

I'm a number too

Very long one, but still just a number

[Piotr]

I find it super amusing that a lot of people who support taxing the rich because they have too much money are upset that they lost their karma because they worked for it. Same with the rich. 

So now it appears that they support letting the rich keep their money. 

Perhaps that particular group of people have a very special difficulty with gaining karma? That would explain some of the ferocity, things you have to work hard for to get, you value more?

Well if we do have it, we might as well have it fully. Piotr, can you either quote from somewhere or tell us what the reason for the cap was? I didn't see it if was posted somewhere.

It's was "To prevent karma whoring."

[Piotr]

Experiment is the reason. I'm curious what will happen.

Sometimes we made enough experiments in implementing something to know well what will happen when we implement it. Like, socialism, implement it and most people will hate it. With karma systems though, much is unknown yet
