This thread isn't about what admin posted regarding how to get Karma.
Just to hear the opinions from the individuals about what they lookout for granting positive or Negative Karma. For example if you see a guide which could be helpful then you grant +1, when you see a reply that gives the actual answer for the query of topic starter and like that.
You can be specific cause this will be helpful for the forum members especially to newbies to understand when they will be awarded positive Karma and what they should do and don't.

It is not that hard to understand how karma should be used.
I am giving positive karma when I see that member created interesting post with new information that engages more conversation with others.
Negatve karma are given by me for low quality content or when members are just using copied text from other sources.
-
As other moderators said, karma is the same as giving a like to someone's post. This includes being informative, answering questions that you know which will be helpful not only to you but also to other user as well. If you like the post, simply click the + karma, there's no need to have a specific criteria. As long as it is not an abuse to the rules, you can give it to anyone that contributes to the forum.

You have started a good discussion, as awareness is also necessary for those who are eligible for giving karma, speaking of myself, I prefer to give karma to those who added information to my knowledge, but I also give karma to those who bring something unique that would add more to my information overall, I know I should think at bigger scale like if a person is contributing to forum then he/she deserves a karma but I also try to give them too.
It's just sometimes, I forget to give karma even to a good poster but appreciate them in reply, it's just silly me that I sometimes don't give karma to the ones who deserve it but from now on I won't be doing this mistake and as you started a good discussion which will add more information to the knowledge of other members so you deserve a +1 karma too. I won't be seeing your profile history, like are you obeying rules here or not as I think these factors should not be considered.

Topics and replies that are of high value are +ve Karma deserving because they provide value. A valuable post is a something that helps someone, and anyone who makes a valuable contribution deserves merits as encouragement.

Mine is not that complicated - I simply just check if your post has contributed anything to an ongoing discussion or if you’re just there to echo what has been said a thousand times in that thread just to cover your weekly quota.
There are times when I don’t make reply to a thread and yet still give people karma in that thread, there’s no fixed criteria for me just be on point and I’ll release the karma to you - as simple as that.

I personally enjoy engaging with interesting content that I haven't come across before on crypto websites or YouTube. I often +Karma new topics with thought-provoking questions and fresh ideas, especially when the authors dedicate significant time and effort to their analysis and provide personal insights rather than simply reporting on market events.
Additionally, comments that provide valuable information to the community also deserve +Karma. I believe that as long as members are genuinely willing to contribute their time, effort, and intellect to the community, I am always happy to give them Karma.
-
I read every replies which is fewer than expected but those are enough to witness that everyone has their own way of giving Karma and that's the point of this discussion.
I expect more people to express their way of granting Karma that will be actually helpful for newbies to understand what are the do's and don'ts...
-
I look Karma here like Merits in Bitcointalk, and I give it the same as well.
When somebody helps me with something, I give them karma. If I saw a helpful answer to a newbie, I give them karma. If somebody is constructive with their post and that post helped at least 1-2 people, I give them karma.
We have different factors that we are considering when we are giving karma to other people, but one thing's for sure though. I don't know what's the main purpose of karma here since they already removed the conversion of karma into ALTT tokens already. :D
-
Since karma is not a merit and is not used to rank up, they way I give it completely depends from my mood. If I see good posts, they I definitely give +karma. It is not like I evaluate post from «if it gives valuable information», but for me it is enough for post to be well written and contain new idea (for example I would not give karma for post with «DYOR is a must», «not your key=not your crypto». That is basics that everyone knows and repeat each day on the forum). And I dont remember giving someone negative karma. If a post is bad, spam, useless, contains bad words, offend someone - I simply ignore it like it does not exist.
-
I don't know what's the main purpose of karma here since they already removed the conversion of karma into ALTT tokens already. :D
Karma is similar to merits and upvote which shows that we are contributing to the community in some way so it's important to being recognised as valuable member of the forum. Aside from you may get other perks in future which we don't know yet.
- Positive Karma will grant bonuses from time to time and shows that you are a contributor to the forum
-
Just to hear the opinions from the individuals about what they lookout for granting positive or Negative Karma.
I don't really send negative karma to any post but I believe the posts that contain AI content, or are fully copy/pasted content should at least get a few negative karma so such type of spammers may not make such type of posts.
I send positive karma to the posts that are helpful in nature and the user who made that post has helped the community with the help of their post. I often give +karma to posts that I find helpful, but I don't send negative karma to anyone even if they make some low quality posts or oppose my opinion.

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.
Kindly see below,
Despite this update being announced in 2018, the pinned informational image that regularly appears between posts, the 9th reminder says that positive Karma can be converted for ALTS.
(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/03/VYkq2.jpeg)
Admin's reply,
updated, rule valid again
-

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 and also 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 and thus destroy the actual purpose of forum along with that don't hesitate to use "Report to mod" when you see a low quality post.
-
I can not speak for others but I can share my criteria. Usually, I send karma to the posts that are useful, like guides, tutorials, and useful translations as well. Or if someone shares something that I did not know before. I also share karma if I see the topic is interesting for me and I can join and talk about it.
Overall, the post quality should be good. Sometimes a short one-line post may get karma. On the other hand, some people write essays but that does not make any sense to receive negative karma from me.
-
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.
-

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.

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.

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.

This is a sample post of a user who directly answers the thread's title. You can see that his answer does not follow the flow of the discussion, maybe without knowing that the thread was created by the admin giving an instruction or guide to this certain topic that was raised by teleported users a few months ago.
He also has a red or a bad color quality badge.
-
Personally, threads/posts that help other users understand things well, in detail and in depth, always get +1 from me. Another important thing is that those threads or posts not only help current users, but will also help new users in the future, and that should always be appreciated and rewarded.
For users who only post spam and L.Q.P I have other tools, although I also use -1. But mostly, I use negative karma for posts or threads from users who disrespect others or feel superior.
I find this thread interesting and for everyone, since it collects the opinions and ways of acting of the members of the forum, which will be helpful, as I say, for current and future users.
@Findingnemo, +1.
-
Most of us feel reluctant when we give +Karma because we are used to the merit system of BTT which is scarce though but we can be more generous in my opinion and will encourage the active users who are trying to contribute in any way they can in this forum can be motivated to continue their journey. I hope you see this and encourage anyone trying to keep the forum alive even if there is no financial incentive for them to be here. ;)
-
Currently I am active giving positive karma for user has qualities post and most useful and still not used negative karma although found some user have lower qualities of their post. I think its advantage or benefit from Karma we have and most active sending or giving appreciate for some one else has good post.
Some time confusing for sending positive karma because many user have increasing well their post qualities regarding limitation of positive karma available sending each eight hours. Wish will modify with karma sending procedure and make more limitation for sending every day appreciate user have good post qualities.
-
I treat karma as the merit version of our other forum so if the post is rich in content and very informative I'm generous in giving karma compared to the other forum you have to get 2 merits to get one so if you don't have any more and you find some post that is worth it, you have to skip it.
I like the version here so it encourages more useful posts and all posts are equal as we cannot see karma it generates its to our judgement and is not influenced by others.

That is actually true. People rarely give karma, because they drew parallels in their heads and think that karma=merit. Many still live in past and believe that it is hard or impossible to earn merit. Thus they find it hard to spend merit and save it for something very special, and similarly behave here.
But, there is also an opinion, since karma has nothing to do with ranking (its is not needed like merit), people dont bother giving positive or negative karma. They just ignore that option in general.

You can be specific cause this will be helpful for the forum members especially to newbies to understand when they will be awarded positive Karma and what they should do and don't.
I love giving +Karma to any member of this forum who I think is contributing some value to the forum. Now, with that said, my criteria for doing so can be so basic...share something in a nice and comprehensible way and you can be sure to get some +Karma from me. There is no need to be a potential Pulitzer winner in posting here. of course, there will be those who are exceptionally good and I value them for sharing their deep knowledge and experiences here. As to newbies, just do good and eventually you will get your +Karma and do not engaged in spamming and plagiarism or post non-sense replies...and you are on your way to be a better time here in ATT. As to -Karma, that is a big reminder that you are doing something bad and you must reform your ways while staying in the forum.

Karma get more advantage than merit because we can distribution karma every eight hour indeed received positive karma or not, difference with sending smerit we need received early before has capacity for sending smerit to informative post and has good qualities.
Every day if found informative, educative and most useful post always give them appreciated by sending karma points indeed the receiver not know who are the sender of positive karma to their account.
In bitcointalk forum we can see some one appreciated with our educative post because the sender of merit appearance in our account, but sender of karma seems not appear in our account and become anonym.

I do the same.
Good answers and when I learn something always receive +1 karma from me. I think that should be visible, as users could easily go to +karma posts and read what is useful faster.
-
For -karma, I usually give it to some users with comments/post that look long or well-written but if you actually read it, they simply rephrases their first or second sentence. Word Salad is probably the closest term I could think of for that posting style.
For +karma, it's usually posts that I didn't know.
-
I don't know why many give importance to +/- Karma, but if we notice, some of the members who were recently selected for signature campaigns (for more than one campaign manager) did not have a high +/- Karma, but some of them had less than 50 for that, especially since it is a measure that is easy to manipulate. For a group of +10 members, I do not think it is has that value.
I may have sent more than 200 +/Karma

1+karma point for you for this nice input. Well some people value karma because they believe they received the karma base on the quality of the post and that is not far from the truth. For the first time when we came, many campaign managers accept users with 0+positive karmas and they even accept participants that were just teleported. And tell now among the three active campaigns, some didn't use +karma as a criteria. So they accept if the user is 5+ karma but the quality of the person posting is the major criteria.
-

This isn't about selected for a signature campaign and members can abuse Karma in any way because it's unlimited unlike merits but we can't deny that Karma is a point of being recognized by the community members and I am sure you felt that way too whenever you see someone with high karma under their profile that will inspire others to do contribute like them whether they are being part of sig campaign or not.
So this is just an attempt to get the collective opinion of members for +/- Karma.

If I am not mistaken, your point is that there should be some kind of information in the forum to direct/guide people mostly newbies to know how to give karma and other activities so that when they finally rank up they would not novice in the forum. But those information are already in the forum. Admin has made them clearly for everyone to read if you visit the forum related board you will see. And also someone register new in the forum and start from the baby step to Sr. member rank must know those information because they are like every day discussion so if he is active then he will catch up. And I don't know if you were here since. Why Hugeblack said so, because some managers consider +karma point as the major criteria to pick applicants while some are not.
-
because some managers consider +karma point as the major criteria to pick applicants while some are not.
Speaking of that, if the forum traffic gets higher and signature campaigns become so common, I doubt they will ignore karma. Although it can be abused, it is one of the easiest ways to judge whether a member makes an interesting post or not. While the admin or the forum gives guidance, there's no way to strictly align interpretation, which is why discussing how people give karma is not a bad idea in my opinion. I think that's the gist of why OP opened this thread in the first place. Still a good discussion to have even if you don't count signature campaigns for this if we want to evaluate whether the system to improve post quality is working as intended or not. CMIIW.

When I ask a question and give some information to a member and in return I get a good answer and additional information I prefer to give karma to those members. Helpful and good answers are what force us to give karma. We all should give karma to newbies because they can't give it to anyone. Therefore seniors should support them although karma is not necessary for ranking. But it will help them as in terms of motivation.
Once a newbie will receive karma he will be happy and will try his best to contribute more in his next posts. It's good that we can give karma as much as we want we don't have to earn first before giving to others.
-
Simply put for newbies, if you post and quote as per the rules of this forum then that is the right way to get positive (+) karma. Even if you break the rules of this forum and insult various posts and senior members then you will get negative (-) karma. The quality of your posts will help you gain positive karma. Maybe you are a new member here but if you have more knowledge about crypto then share it. Share any experience you have, not just crypto. Not only the level of the account but your experience will take you higher.
-
Anything that is helpful, new suggestions, new information i just read, contribution posts especially in my locals, and those sometimes who agree with me. That's how i gave +karma.
While i rarely give -karma, only if the user keep asking annoying and repeated questions, and spamming, although i'm considerate so sometimes i just let it slide and just remember the username.
-
It's spontaneous happening and can't define criteria, you read a post and you feel like giving it a + Karma, that's all there is.
I don't remember giving - Karma to anybody.

In fact, giving karma to a good post increases the motivation of that member due to which he is encouraged to post better. Earlier also i gave some karma because those posts were very helpful. Many times we don't keep our promise to pay karma and forget. Whenever we see good post and feel like giving karma there should give. But we will not let the scammers go, so we will give them negative karma so that they cannot scam anyone.
-
I guess this thread needs a bump since it's been few months already and a lot of things might have changed in these time so let's hear what's the thing you look when you see someone's post before giving positive or negative karma which will be helpful for the others to understand the system better and may act as a point of motivation to contribute better.
-
Am not the type that likes giving karma anyhow, once i see a post that much energy is being applied and has many thoughts on it, then i try to appreciate the OP by giving him a positive karma, while that of the negative one rarely comes out form me, because once i see any post of low quality content, i only try to ignore and pretend as if i see nothing, because i cant tag them all, they are many and will continue to be, will i not be tired, dishing karma.
-
I gave it to low key shills nowadays. They've been smarter by opening what seems like an interesting topic but I still see them insert something else.
~ while that of the negative one rarely comes out form me, because once i see any post of low quality content, i only try to ignore and pretend as if i see nothing
You'll have more 'peace' doing it this way but can't be done by everybody. The problem is they will proliferate and you'll see mostly LQP if left ignored.

Right, and sometimes you cannot ignore them anymore especially those who obviously spamming the forum like almost the same topic in every board or posting nonsense anything in the forum.
-

I guess you aren't talking about those Bitget shill accounts. :D
Sometimes I gave them negative too when it's so obvious that they are just promoting the name of the exchange by creating a thread that is so out of the topic but still somehow they manage to infuse the name into the discussion.
-
Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer threads of this type that appear on the forum. I think the most important thing to avoid them is to act quickly, first warning and then sanctioning if necessary. In this way we avoid the threads being large and having to delete them with user opinions that may be valuable. I hope we can continue like this.
-
I give +karma to users that make posts that are very informative and mostly when I see a topic that relates to something I have in mind. I haven't really given -karma before. I prefer giving proper direction, just to follow up with the friendly forum for all it's users. I have not really come across those who deliberately break rules in the forum, this could be probably because I have not completely gone round the entire forum I guess.

I will say, we should also be reporting them if the reason is enough so atleast the thread will be locked if not deleted. But the report to moderator button works here different compared to Bitcointalk which maybe one of the reason not many of them reporting cause spams has to be treated with -Karma here. I do often report some but still I am hesitant about my judgement.

well if you ask me generally I give karma based on many reasons however a majority of the time it's always based on post quality. Sometimes when some members are being picked on by some other member by giving them negative karma and such a user is a quality poster I see no reason in adding a positive Karma to counter the negative.
Nevertheless most of the karma I have given out are mostly to post that have decent quality with real-time facts backing them up and sometimes some positive moves made by some members to improve the forum.
-
If someone says something clever and I laugh at it I give a karma. If someone gets me to think differently about something I give a karma.

that seems simple enough but is actually what you would want to do lol we are not here to hoard karma and be selfish about it i mean if i like the post i give a positive karma no matter what the context of the post it is kind of a show of agreement even if they might not see it was you
though there is a new development in the forum where you can pay and see who gave you karma so if you are just giving positive karma for about anything and they see it then you might or should get a thank you later on

If someone says something clever and I laugh at it I give a karma. If someone gets me to think differently about something I give a karma.
That's a pretty straightforward and simple answer.
I expect this kind of answer from members here to give an idea instead of saying "quality posts".

I will say, we should also be reporting them if the reason is enough so atleast the thread will be locked if not deleted. But the report to moderator button works here different compared to Bitcointalk which maybe one of the reason not many of them reporting cause spams has to be treated with -Karma here. I do often report some but still I am hesitant about my judgement.
No user should worry if their reports are 100% compliant with ways to deal with spam, for example. No one is going to be "punished" for not thinking or having the same lines as the moderators. The important thing is to report those threads/posts that in one way or another do not comply with what we understand as normal. It may seem like what I'm saying doesn't make sense, but it does. Don't be afraid to report, just use common sense.

Yeah, i understand what you are saying because quality posts can mean something slightly different to different people. However, i will say any post i find interesting falls under quality post for me, and i am likely to give it a +karma, also any post that teaches me something new is surely getting a +karma from me.

Ohhh this... when I read a post, and I feel like thinking "oh my god, that's so true, why did I just realize it", or when someone writes in simple language but has a meaning that makes me happy with the facts, it's enough to move my hand to press karma +...
Posts that even make me really want to reply, because there may be disagreements or differences of opinion, I also often give karma +, because of the interesting points being discussed.

True, interesting ideas discussing make my self have own criteria sending positive karma, have limit sending every day around each 8 hours make me bit confusing when sending positive karma which one most interesting post have to give. Each person have difference way for giving positive karma and I don't think problem during post have interested, most useful based on our personal viewed have to sent positive karma.
By the way any one sent around 3 positive karma every day during each 8 hours only available sent one karma, usually I sent only 2 positive karma in daily day because active at forum not fully 24 hours.

What you say is incorrect. The limit on giving karma works only for the same user you give karma. So if you want to give karma for example to me for several posts you have to wait some number of hours between each karma giving. But if you want to give karma to different users you can do it at the same time, no need of waiting.

I think that should be the way to go, to begin with. I don't think the forums expect you to stay 24/7 on the forum trying to find good posts to send karma to. I have experience of being a merit source on Bitcointalk and I don't think there's a requirement since everyone is busy with their life. Making it mandatory would be a bad idea IMO, since it will just make the members feel forced.

When I see a quality post and have a touch within me that convinced me that such counts for a quality post, then I try to dish out a positive karma, but when I found no taught on a particular post, or maybe discover it to contain malicious link or content that could be or no relevance to anyone, then I try report such or dish out a negative karma base on the severity of the content on his post.

Everyone has different judgment over karma. In my case, I treat it as same as merit. And regarding giving out karmas, I follow the same mindset I followed in the other forum. I would send out positive karmas if I like the content, and if it's about technology and stuff, they they certainly would get somethings from me. Sometimes, I would send good karmas to those who quoted me, even if the content isn't that much of a quality. I just do it as a sign of gratitude/thanks to that person. As for negative ones, I rarely send it, not that I don't see bad posts, I do. But I don't feel like giving out negative, unless the content is of total trash.
