Karma

[Murph37x]

I just noticed I received a -1 karma for something.   I have no clue what I did to warrant this.   I was hoping a moderator would have a idea.   Cause I have no clue why.

Thank you

Maybe have givers put in reasons for negative karma but have names anonymous. Many people seem to be getting upset about karma or just annoyed..
This would be an idea to make sure the receiver knew why, I think it'd make people less mad

Someone just gave it to you for some reason that probably no one knows except for the giver :/ so like adding in reason for negative would help. But it'd have to be in a way for the reason to only be visible to the reciever

I agree. I just got another one for no apparent reason. So I agree there should be a reason box, so to speak.

Well I like to trade alot.   When people are the negative karma, people tend to be wary about trading.    People think I'm going to run off with there cards.   That's what I see when I see the negative Karma.

That's actually false. You just asked me what they meant and how they were earned.

I wouldn't worry. If people trust you, karma means nothing.

@ kuberr. Prior to us talking I thought that is why people got negative.   So I got a negative for someone disagreed with my opinion or views.   That's ridiculous!   Am I going to get another one for this post?!  I know I didn't troll anyone, nor did I send vulgar messages.   I just want to know why.  Why did I geta negative for something I can't even know from whom or for what?

[Kuberr]

I have negatives because I'm outspoken and I enjoy speaking my opinion. Some people don't like your opinion. Just stop worrying about it.

Back to topic though, it would be nice to have a little box come up when you click either positive or negative for an explanation. I wouldn't show the name though, because that's kind of calling people out so I would keep it anon.

I don't think it would make a difference if you made them post something. All they would do is dhrfgjhgcvhgcc  and that's the reason.

Do you honestly think there are tht many trolls here that would do that?

My concern is that it would serve no added function that doesn't already exist on the forum.  If someone upsets you to the point where you feel they deserve negative karma, you can easily PM them to let them know what happened and why.

Having a box for people to fill out to explain is redundant and if someone is neg'ing just to be a troll, you are now giving them an anonymous mask to troll behind.  Trolls love that, that's why they are on the webs, because they are too cowardly to be mean to people's faces.  Why give them another layer of anonymity on top of the first layer that we have here on the forum?

I would love to see people's karma numbers in the dozens or hundreds.  I think users should give both types of feedback frequently, because I believe in large sample sizes.  But hey, I'm a Jester.

Actually, I noticed that more and more people are getting negative karma. Some of them, I have never seen post, until something like this pops up. I think karma should be moderated a little of you want it to mean anything.

Karma is an experiment.

Ok. Is there a way that mods could be able to see who give's karma? Because I it is just one or two people that have a reputation of trolling then we might want to know.
