Your criteria to grant +/- Karma to someone!

[joniboini]

I don't really give negative karma unless an account is a bot, but I tend to put anyone who posts repeated points, quotes the whole post but only responds to one point, or says low-quality things like "thank you" without further comments, usually end up in my ignore list. It's not like I won't see their posts again in the future, but I feel that they need to make more than one quality post to improve their image and get karma from me. It made me a bit biased if the first few posts that I see from a user are somewhat low-quality. Judging from some of the comments above, are people using AI that prevalent? I tend to find more spammers instead of AI posters.

You are doing right, if I am not wrong I only send negative karma twice here until now for the post that made with utternonsense and no one will benefit from reading them

Thanks, and yes you did very well by sending negative karma to the posts which were giving nonsense information that could not be helpful for anyone. It's always better to send negative karma to those who post spam or plagiarized content.

I suggest using - Karma when you feel someone is actually using AI because no one is going to benefit from a genric reply created by bot

That's a quite good suggestion, and yeah I believe we all should try to send as many negative karma to the posts that contain AI generated content as we possibly can. I have personally not seen any posts that contain AI generated content but when I see such posts then definitely I will send negative karma to such posts because those posts are not useful for anyone and such posts allow AI spammers to post more AI generated spam in future.

When a member posts he has to give positive karma or negative karma but there are no mandatory rules like this but since there is a system of giving karma we can use its positive.  If a member has made good quality post and his post has enough information then you can give him a positive karma but if that member can't make good quality post then avoid his post but there is no need to give him negative karma. If the post is too bad then you can point out his mistakes and give him the information so that he can post correctly next time so that he will get proper suggestion and not make those mistakes later.  But not all users are the same there are some users who follow others and they use negative karma more than positive karma.

Every post that improves the discussion on the topic gives a new solution, or a new constructive opinion deserves karma +
At the same time, nonsense spam posts that are only there to fulfil the post quota for the campaign deserve karma -.
Personally, I have no problem rewarding such posts. It's a shame that we can't even have an insight into which post got karma (regardless of + or -) that would probably help many to recognize where they went wrong and what needs to be improved.

I don't know what's the main purpose of karma here since they already removed the conversion of karma into ALTT tokens already.

Good news for us @LogitechMouse, I remembered reading about this thread this past few weeks that this rule or the conversion of + karma to ALTT token is valid again. The admin updated the rule and you can request to convert it if you want.

This is wrong because karma is the only parameter whether a user contributes to quality, without having to read all his posts. It is very useful for campaign managers and facilitates the candidate selection process.

If it is already possible to convert karma points into ALTT tokens, maybe the admin could add certain badges like 100+ earned karma, 500+ etc... So even if he were to convert karma points into ALTT tokens, his previous contribution to the quality of the forum could still be recognized.

In the end, those who cheated are punished by deducting karma points, so in the end it equalizes the punishment of those who showed real quality.


edit
Right after I wrote this post, I opened a topic where the admin gives an explanation supplemented with screenshots, everything is more than clear. https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=313190

However, someone thought they had something to add, in addition to the fact that it does not refer to the problem that caused the topic to be opened, it is also very confusingly written, and it does not explain anything.

To go back to the same topic after posting you can click on your profile option from there you can go to show post option and click on the last posted post link but you can reach the previous topic. If you find this too cumbersome then the last post you post will be at the top of the specified section and your post will be at the very end. Your task is to find your post by going to the last page of the first topic in the specified section.

So what do you say, does this post deserve + or - karma?

Until I figure out the forum properly, I am not giving out much karma (both positive and negative). I rarely give karma for a certain reasons. One of them is karma abuse. We all know that recently there have been many reports about karma abuse. And that's why I have restricted myself. Maybe 1 or 2 in a day, but no more than that. If it's highly informative or something I also believe, I send +1 karma.

If it is already possible to convert karma points into ALTT tokens, maybe the admin could add certain badges like 100+ earned karma, 500+ etc... So even if he were to convert karma points into ALTT tokens, his previous contribution to the quality of the forum could still be recognized.

It just sounds unfair. If that is really true and I wouldn't have any kind of recognition, I certainly wouldn't convert my karma to ALTT.
