[quote:Eastern Gate:MV8xNTk3NDczXzI2NDA1OTA1X0M3OTkzMDAy] [quote:Artlicious] I just realized something. It is my opinion that Trinity, possibly, does not care too much about the negative karma's going around or how they are being abused. At the moment at least. [b]Why?[/b] Because the karma system was implemented for one main reason... to get GLP members to police each other better, to help GLP stay clean, legal and online! [b][u]Good Karma has been set up to help:[/u][/b] 1) Cut down on copyright violations, which can be very bad for GLP. 2) Cut down on death threats, web hacking threats and threats of illegal activity. 3) Encourage unique topics to be posted and hopefully be important enough to be pinned. From what we know so-far, Bad Karma really has no purpose and is ripe for abuse from members. [/quote] 4) Identify who is willing to be an informant for the sake of collecting brownie points. Its a useful tool for determining who can be trusted with insider information. [/quote]
Original Message
I think a lot of the negative karma being given out here on GLP is coming from members who are already in the red themselves and just don't care.
What if...
1)
You have to have GOOD karma to give karma out.
2)
Every time you give out a BAD karma you will use one of your GOOD karma points.
3)
Members with over 50 BAD karma points are temporarily banned, which will remove 10 or so of there BAD points for when they are un-banned.
*Members are rating threads by using Karma points, this is not good.. Use the 5 stars to rate a thread.
*Members are giving bad karma to those who they disagree with, this is not good. Argue the point with them in the topic, try to disprove them or make your point or just move along.
I think this would help to clean the Karma system up a bit and cut down on bad karma being given out to good members for petty or irrelevant reasons.
