Testing. 1, 2, 3... / Re:OT - Gettin' Peeved about the Cursing
« on: July 03, 2003, 08:34:05 PM »When i did my little test. . there was no one else about. . i didn't say I just did it. .hence I wasn't necessarily wrong... but i see people are wedded to their beliefs on this and what i know to be technologically possible doesn't matter a bit. So let's just conclude this conversation and topic.
I misunderstood when you did the test. But I contend that use of the feature is cumulative; doling out 1 cure or curse does not earn 1 of the same unless you had already accumulated karma for using the feature, and then you start accumulating all over again with the next one. To see a total number of members online, you have to return to the main page, then to cure or curse someone you have to find their post or their profile, and in the case of the latter you'd have to view their recent messages and then open one of those posts in order to use the feature. Then to check your own karma totals, you have to open your own profile or one of your own posts. In that time, you wouldn't have any way of viewing a count of hidden members without returning to the main page.
I agree that this is getting us nowhere, and I will lock this topic per your request once I've had my say. If you had access to the karma scripts for the forums and I disagreed with what you'd seen with your own eyes, then your insinuation that I'm foolishly "wedded to ... beliefs" would make sense. And I did not say that what you've said isn't technologically possible; I said that it's not the way the karma feature currently works, and I've been hearing every word you and others have said about the feature so telling me that what you say doesn't matter a bit to me is unfounded.
