Question: Should SL bring back Karma?
Option 1: Fuck Yes!
Option 2: no :(
Title: Karma?
Post by: Variable on Aug 03, 2011, 08:18 PM
I think most people around here either remember when SL had this, or have been to a different board that has it.

But, just in case, its just a little button under your name that someone can click if you say something they either "like" or "dislike"

We used to have it, but it got taken away because everyone was just messing around and "smiting" everyone for fun. Which, I was largely a part of, and WILL probably continue to do if it comes back.
But bringing it back wouldn't be because we take it serious. It would just be a throw-back way to have fun.

What do you guys think? Lets take an official vote.

I mean, its really only a good idea if everyone realizes that it's just for fun.

I don't really have any authority at all do make this happen. I just figured if the votes went to yes, the mods could talk to Nuno or something.

I can see into the future, and i see Variable using the karma system to act a knob just so that he can have the most minus points. I really don't see the point. I also really don't care, so whatever. I vote nothings.

Too many haters on this board.  I can already see it.  Basically everyone who uses the board the most these days would have like 100+ Karma, and people like me who hardly come around and talk shit would have like -100. 

It seems to me like you want it back because you'll have hundreds of Karma and for some apparent reason that makes your dick hard.  I vote Nay.

The people that vote no are the reason this board got extremely lame.  Quit being a bunch of bonenuckas.

Why the fuck would you want it back?  Yeah, it got lame because people didn't want little Karma points pre-disposing them and making them out to be bad people.  You do remember how you could vote people you didn't like down, right?  What do you think that tells people?  That they're fucking social pariahs/lepers.  It's not cool being judged right out of the box.  I personally didn't experience that issue, but I do remember a bunch of decent people leaving solely because of that reason. 

Actually, who really gives a shit.  If you faggots really want some stupid point system back, go for it.  It might spice the board up and bring it back to life once again.  But I highly doubt that will be the end result.  The main reason people joined this board was because deftones were releasing albums, and now they won't be doing that for a while.

Wow, we have a complete dichotomy in opinions just one post down from each other. Did the two of you even read what anyone said above you? At all.  Let's see, let me quote myself here.

AKA, its just a joke. More than likely, most of us would just smite our friends and ignore everyone else. I can't even imagine any smug bastard having a + count. That would surly be a sign of an outcast.
It's just something that a few of us were talking about today, about how funny it was for a while because people actually took it seriously and said shit like

We just got all nostalgic about how funny it was that people took it serious, and we were like "hey, we should bring that back, it would be funny" THATS ALL. Nobody has any grand schemes to smite people off the board or brag about negative points (fuck you btw, for calling me out like that. I thought we were cool)

But I forgot that this board still has a healthy population of fun police. Right, lets just not have any fun and hope the board magically revives itself.

Relax.  Just because we disagree on something doesn't mean we're not cool.  I still respect you, douche. 

I just really don't think it's a GREAT idea...it wasn't a good idea back then which is probably why it's no longer part of the board, either that or that one upgrade got rid of it.

We don't need a Karma point system to keep the board fresh...there's plenty of people here posting different topics, even when nothing is going on in the deftones world...there's plenty to talk about.  I'm starting to post more often these days solely because I sense an awakening in the board as of late.

I wasn't talking to you with that exact comment.

I just think that you missed the point of why we wanted to bring it back. I got nothing against you.
Title: Re: Karma?
Post by: shine down unshy on Aug 04, 2011, 06:00 AM
Eh, I was just too lazy to dissect all those quotes so I quoted it all.

I get it.  Apologies...I don't mean to shit on your nostalgia.  I just had to get my opinion in there.

I guess this was meant for me then. I can't tell wether you're being serious or not. I'm sorry if that little comment hurt your feelings. But go right ahead, like i said, i'm not voting no, i don't give a shit either way.

I did tell him that quite a lot of people wanted it back, but he doesn't trust the karma thing anymore, which means he doesn't trust us. I can't blame him hahaha
