Discussion about my karma

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

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.

I think spamming (posting random jokes after every post)and necroing  threads may have hurt your karma.

[Moneekahh]

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?

[Pi]

To dawg, I heard you have too much negetive karma in a post about negetive karma, so here have some negetive karma

JK you have enough problems. I won't drop your karma lower than it is, if it causes you this much distress
