I am not an admin here or have anything to do with setting this site or forums up ...
But you are the second person in as many days that has posted this question with no reply.

So I looked it up on the "Simple Machines Forum" website... it says,

"Karma mode - Karma is a feature that shows the popularity of a member. Members, if allowed, can 'applaud' or 'smite' other members, which is how their popularity is calculated."

Take it for what it is worth I guess... Anyhow... I owe you an applaud, so here you go. Thanks for the fuel gauge Billy.

why thank you, just would hate someone who bought something from me not to be happy with it and not say anything about it to me, this is not my buisness like most others this is my hobby.

imho, it is a complete waste of time to pay any attention to this whole "karma" bulls#!t. unless of course you're truly concerned about your internet popularity.

the whole idea of a virtual "smite" and "applaud" is just way out of hand.

have we reached the point now where we cannot thank someone in person for something they've done? or call them and thank them over the phone? or even send them an email or start a post that says that they've done right?

likewise for the smite. if you've got a problem...go directly to the source. contact the person by phone or email or in person and resolve the matter at hand like a rational and civilized human being.

dont annonomously punch the keyboard and snicker silently thinking that you've actually made a difference.

this rant is not about any one person in particular...but more about the concept of the whole matter.

just my $1.50!!! 8)

Might be a good thing in the buy/sell section but really not needed on other parts of the forum.
This is prob one of the tightest forums out there right now so I think most people already know a lot of people on the forum already

Billy,
My brother got the Kadron gear. It's old vintage Kadron! Cool stuff... I'll try to get him to post some pics.

Oh oh ... someone didn't like what I said I guess... I'm -1 now too  :'(

On topic:

I have run many message boards over many years and you hit the nail on the head West coast-paul, it is a make work project ... and really, what is the point.
Got something to say to me? Here I am. Screw me over... well ok, you won't have to deal with me again.

it is a complete waste of time..

..just my $1.50!!!

Your buck fifty and my buck fifty make 3 bucks. That's coffee, see ya there!

 ;D Gee, it looks like there is a lot of bad Karma around here.
Or maybe I shouldn't say anything for fear of bad Karma!
