This is very good, but how will the member know what is the reason for receiving negative karma? I mean, he will not know whether he received this negative karma because his post was of low quality, or because he wrote a response to the first post after the third page, or any other reason you mentioned?
There are many reasons that could make a member get negative karma, but without knowing the reason, he will not change his wrong behavior and will continue to write with the same bad habits, so perhaps it is appropriate to put a hint about the reason that made him get negative karma, so that he can avoid these bad habits.
1. admin said that showing the post got +karma or -karma is in his to do list. So soon we will have an opportunity to see which exact post met with high disagreement.
2. You can always say that you gave +karma or -karma if you suppose it important, when you will answer the post you liked/disliked.
And the worst part in the process of discussing how the first Karma was disappeared, another again and that made me to accused the same person that I s victimizing me.
Did you go to
the Forum Court? If you suspect a karma abuse, you can use forum options to investigate that.
Like as you said, let group of people who are capable of wearing thick skin to ignore some people character should do the -Karma issue if not I am not a prophet but this will become a good drama in the future. And to avoid that let the moderators, staff and admin should do something to prevent it. Because only this days almost 4 or 5 threads only on this issue...
-karma is a light form of bad behavior fight. Most users get +karma much easier than -karma. Your idea to decrease the number of users who can give -karma will make this option useless. If so many others don't like your posts, maybe you can improve something. If it is a karma abuse, use
the Forum Court. No need restricting karma usage of a wide range of users just because we don't like getting -karma. As long as we get much more +karma, it is not the end of the world.
