I've gone from 10 to -3 in the space of a day.  I have no real incentive to try to be nice anymore.

But...
que sera, sera

 >:D

this is a perfect example of why i think the system is totally flawed

I agree, i say from -19 or whatever the hell I'm at now.  I know I've starting smiting more and more rather than applauding.  Why should I?

I can only imagine what my score would be if I was trying to make people angry...actually...
"Well, that idea might make a stupid idea feel better about itself."
"His goat killed you?"
"I love you shovel."
"Your conscience calls you on the telephone?"

People choose to do whatever they feel to do. I have no idea why I have so much... I rarely post in discussions anyway...

(but hey, let's not start smiting now...)

We won't.  You get the good old reputation, awesomeness applauds no doubt.  ;D

All hail Richard of Awesometon!  ;D

I try to think before I Smite people. I Applaud more because why not? Smting though I feel I should try to do only if the person deserves it. I don't think it should be done simply because I disagree with somebody, as we're all welcome to our own opinions.

Here, have some applause wotw2112!

Thank you Phoenix!  Same to you!  You've been awesome the whole time I've been on here.  Not as awesome as Richard of course...

i mean if people dont say why they smite you, how are you gonna know.  I think we should discuss differences of opinion in a mature style rather then smite someone who thinks diffrently.
I put you back to 0, whatever you did wasn't worth an official complaint so do you deserve -19 karma?

I certainly hope not.  I usually try to stay on the topic and away from the person.  Unfortunately others don't always do the same.

Thanks for the restart though I doubt that'll stop the eventual decline brought about by he who shall remain nameless.

Though I'm usually bad with names, wotw2112, I haven't noticed you saying or doing anything smite-worthy, so yeah, I thought that was a bit odd, too...

I never pay attention to my karma, personally, but I doubt it would be fun to have a negative number. Mostly because it would make me wonder "What the heck did I do?!?!".

I try not to.  One member just got very angry with me after I told him he should stay on topic and not attack me personally.

And thank you for the vote of confidence! (Or so I choose to take it...)

Is there a way to see how much good and bad karma one has?

I'm just curious, as I noticed that you can see the top good karma/bad karma earners on the forum stats...

Only staff can see that info. We'll be happy to tell you yours if you send a PM to any one of the Sr. Staff.
