Can't go wrong with Korma.




No, but seriously, I have never been an advocate of the karma system of keeping track of people; it emphasizes seniority, as before, but it also leads to people trying to build their karma illegitimately. Frankly any kind of level system is going to lead to issues, and it is better to go without completely. We have mods and admins, what else do you need?

The manbaby can stay, I think, mostly because it does no harm.

Well, this is funny... it turns out you can't hide the post count without fiddling with the php.  I'll look into it.

In the meantime, have fun raising people's Moxy levels.  I just toasted Kyle because he did such a good job putting the Comicompo together.

This sounds suspiciously like communism.  Are you a communist, PF? Lips Sealed

Okay, no more post counts.  But let's try out the karma system for fun.  It's still a leveling system, but it's quality-based rather than quantity-based (at least in theory).

EDIT: By the way, you do need a post-count of at least 10 to change someone's Moxy.

You know what, I got tired of the karma system almost immediately.  Too many links in the user info section.

It was fun while it lasted. I always thought of karma as a social sytem instead of a quality one anywho.  Shrug

i wonder if it's possible to display the post count in a person's profile but not in the sidebar. that way if someone is really curious if someone is a spammer or not (like supershigi mentioned) a click on their name would let you know what it is. although the 'level' thing does the same more or less.

Maybe if you had icons (i.e. thumbs up, thumbs down) instead of plain links?

I like postcounts Sad

It lets me see just how much time I waste here.

Also, I use it as a way to promise myself to post something at a certain number (like I promised I'd post the game I was making when I hit 3000. I didn't, but it motivated me to spend less time here and more time working on the game, for a little while at least.)

Nice job on the multiple of 100 thing, though.

I vote for a three-strikes feature.

After three strikes the poster is sent to australia a deserted isle where he must learn to fend for himself against the rest of the three-strikers.

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed that this just happened.

Could we at least see the poll results?

If we're not having post count, I would rather we didn't have karma either. That would just be replacing bullshit with more bullshit.

Why not allow each person the option of whether he wants to see post count or not?

It's the same way for avatars and signatures.
