I think you might have to get in line for that, Patti.

NANCY BARRETT...MARRY ME
This is one of the most interesting threads I've read in a long time. If you read it carefully, you'll find it a fascinating study in contradiction, the frailty of the human ego and a rich example of hypocrisy on many different levels. (And all packed into one little thread!)
Gosh

-------------------------
"Well, all I can say to that is that if someone has a strong opinion about something, please don't be afraid to state it. This forum was specifically created so that any DS fan could feel comfortable knowing that they wouldn't be chewed up and spit out simply for saying something that might be a bit controversial (which most definitely isn't the case on some other DS venues )."
--------------------------
I don't harbor ill feeling for MB, I like MB, I just don't agree with him on this subject, or how he chose to publicly handle it.
Knowing you personally as I do, I'm very disappointed you chose to publicly do what you did.
How can a person ignore it when it appears in EVERY post they create and they can see the tally?
It is obvious from the responses this thread has received that several posters are not comfortable with it.
As I stated initially, the feature is ambiguous in nature, and it should just be removed completely.
I personally don't have much use for the feature; if I agree or disagree strongly enough with an issue, I'll take the time to post about it and not bother bumping someone's karma up or down. Without a quantitative point breakdown (positive or negative), the number means nothing
didn't mean to imply that I believe the forum rules are not enforced, or that people are ganged up on here (that is SO not the case). Just that so many of the folks who've been on the boards awhile seem to know each other really well and that can be a little intimidating to newbies.
The Karma feature might make some folks feel a little uneasy/queasy when stating what may not be the most popular opinion.
Just out of curiosity, how long is the trial period for the feature going to last?
I have no idea, sorry.
dom (who doesn't mean to step on MB's toes - but is just trying to free up his time to work on fine tuning the forum, by answering the easy questions that I know the answers to.)
Pfffttt! I think you guys make this stuff up as you go along. If it's just default settings why did it just begin to happen YESTERDAY?
I think I hear the sound of screwdrivers and pliers tinkering around in here.
I can only guess. These are probably all default settings that changed when the Forum was moved to where it is now and converted to this format.
MB... SEE? SEE? They're all OVER the place!
I guess the worst is the one who has 50 MB web site on David Selby. Talk about needing to get a life!
