Did you ever go back through the archives and wonder, "what was I thinking?" ... when you answered a question?

I have been conducting an experiment to rid myself of VOTE UPS as I have no idea why we are rewarded so many. It is impossible to get rid of the darned things by the way. They multiply like rabbits.

During this experiment, I have read many of my old responses. How tempting it is to edit a few things here and there. I am certain this is frowned upon. :D

I would like to mention that many of you are completely adorable, especially when you were 'Newbies'!

Hmmm...Most of my answers are either silly serious (or a mix). I've been challenged about 3 times when what I wrote was considered rude or innapropriate- those members were right & I am glad members feel comfortable enough with me to "call me on it" when my answers come across badly. Fishy, we all change...but around here (for the majority) we accept the changes as the natural flow of a group of friends!

Comment this answer

Some of those pages are down right frightening as well.

I imagine it would have a lot to do with each member's subjects of interest. Art and Fish very rarely come up and so I have adopted the subject of Aliens... fun, weird and a chance to be creative.

You are correct your 'adorableness' is clear to see all the way over here on the West Coast of Canada! :)

Thanks for answering my question.

The karma system is stressful. Can't we just be assigned sparkles or something?

commented 12 years ago

I would anything that didn't show numbers.

commented 12 years ago

Sparkles it is then! Woot! Let's ask admin.

commented 12 years ago

You asked. I've tried 3 times with them to remove the karma system.

commented 12 years ago

Maybe the admin could put it to a vote.

commented 12 years ago

Nope, not even something they would consider. You may as well give it up. Too many still like it, the admin included.

commented 12 years ago

I will contine my quest then.

commented 12 years ago

sparkles!!! Or bubbles!

commented 12 years ago

Bubbles would be cool with little stars inside.

commented 12 years ago

Bubbles with stars inside- how totally Brilliant!

commented 12 years ago

How about frequent flyer points Or discount coupons instead of karma? Now that would be a challenge,to see who could get a world tour or a new Mercedes first.LOL

commented 12 years ago

The Karma system would be just fine if everyone would give TU's to ONLY the best or most worthy answers and questions. Getting rid of the totals would be to my liking also.

commented 12 years ago

I think a Thank You button without points attached would suit my liking.

commented 12 years ago

How about planting a tree for every 10,000? It would be great for the planet and the FREE CHICKENS!

commented 12 years ago

I eat delicious things and very healthy things... It would probably give you a heart attack Don!! ... de-clog those arteries and put you into shock!

commented 12 years ago

I am allergic to trees. I can only appreciate them from afar Don... sad and true.

commented 12 years ago

I like the karma system! Giving free gifts or gift certificates would probably result in a charge for this forum! Why doesn't everyone like the karma? It's fun!

commented 12 years ago

The karma system is actually a silent and subliminal system of communication. People TU because they like you, people don't TU you because they don't, people don't TU you because you don't TU them, they TU indiscriminately without even reading what they're voting on, they never, ever TU anyone....and on and on and on...

commented 12 years ago

The karma system causes behind the scenes fights that you people do not see. It's a headache for mods and admin a like. Jealousy abounds when someone believes they are not getting enough TU's or anger ensues if someone gets passed. It's a bad system because no one uses it for what it's suppose to be used for.

commented 12 years ago

Colleen:- I can't believe that anyone would get that upset about KARMA POINTS?????
Go figure!
Haven't these guys got anything else to occupy their minds?

... one button > You made me smile
and one button > Brilliant!

No points, just appreciation.

commented 12 years ago

I like that idea Fishy.

commented 12 years ago

"- I can't believe that anyone would get that upset about KARMA POINTS?????"

Oh yes Tommy....you have no idea.

commented 12 years ago

We need more people on board Tommy. Karma is a personal relationship with the Universe. It only makes sense that the positive feed back be a individual thing.
The buttons need not have the labels I suggested attached ... They could read any number of things. I like the idea of the rewards being more of a personal accomplishment rather than a competition.

commented 12 years ago

Fishy I agree! + feedback is the best!

commented 12 years ago

i too vote for complete removal of the karma system.

commented 12 years ago

Dardeigh kinda got lost in this thread I like what she said. Brill.

I will not be getting any more Karma points because right here. Right now I will not be giving any. (I think so anyway)

Fishlet: I like the idea of gold stars. They’ll gum up our computers but in a very short time they will simplify our lives. Sparkles and sprinkles too ... let’s pile it on!

commented 12 years ago

Karma: 1032535

Newbies answer differently I notice, myself included. After you get to know people on the forum, you can usually understand their thinking, where it comes from, and what they really meant, assuming it isn't quite clear. For the most part, I think that I say what I mean and, more importantly, mean what I say.
