what's more annoying is that if you post anything at all that people will oppose, your karma takes a dive. It doesn't bother me personally because i don't base my life on what people on ns think of me, but i think its almost like abusing the karma system.

I do agree, main reason being not that it really makes me upset at the time losing karma, but more so that when I want to go sell something in the buy/sell/trade forum, people are sometimes sketched out by people with lower karma and not a lot of reviews. Other than that though I don't think its too big of a deal.

it is for sure abusing the karma system. i'll post an opinion and watch my karma go on a roller coaster ride for the next 2 days as people rate my opinion. k is supposed to let people know whether what they posted was relevant/entertaining or not, not whether you agree/disagree with their opinion. i dont give a damn about karma, and i dont really post enough to build a massive karma rating or anything, but this just seems backwards to me.

my karma took a dive right before the election when i posted funny videos of obama saying stupid shit. it wasn't even a serious thread. i used to have 70k. Not that i give a shit.

this is a good point! +k for the good idea


also, karma just fluxuates, i dont have much, but it took me like, 2 weeks to get from 2900 to over 3000. even now, it may be below 3000 lol. oh well.
