Title: My First Karma, where did it come from, who sent it ??
Post by: kai on August 09, 2024, 03:51:04 PM
I was very surprised, I got Karma with number 1 in my account.
(https://i.imgur.com/RXeIdQJ.png)
But one side I don't know who sent this Karma to me, is this Karma a positive or negative thing in the altcoinstalks forum?

I have read this thread "How to get a positive Karma point (fast)" (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=64540.0) but I don't think I have done what is written in the thread.
And also I have read this thread "Earn Karma for posting quality content at our Partner site" (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=317898.0) but I don't think I have done what is written in the thread.

This was a surprise for me and I have been thinking a bit about where this Karma comes from, can anyone explain it to me in detail?

You get karma when someone reads your post and decides that they like what you’ve written - or if the post is helpful to that topic being discussed, there’s no pattern for posts that gets karma. As long as your post is helpful and relevant to the topic you’ll get karma (if people actually read it, but in cases where it get skipped you won’t get any).

But one side I don't know who sent this Karma to me, is this Karma a positive or negative thing in the altcoinstalks forum?

On the thread you linked to your post, you’ll see that there’s an option available for you to see where karma is coming from and that is for you to acquire Eye of Saurus(sorry for my spelling) - but if you can’t afford to pay for it you’ll just have to keep using the forum without knowing where, who and what post earned you your karma. Which means you’ll have to make all your posts constructive if you wish to earn karma from all of them or most of them.

I almost forgot to mention; not all ranks can give out Karma - you’ll have to get to a certain rank before you’ll be able to give karma to a post you think is useful and also there’s a time limit for which you can give karma to the same user, which I think is “10 hours” I’m not sure if that’s that exact time though.

Just keep contributing to the forum you’ll surely get karma.

Congrats to your first karma, i suggest you to read more and provide more useful thoughts, posts, facts and quality posts to get more karma.

Just continue to post good, more of your posts would be liked and be be given Karma. I see Karma similar just like the likes on social media like Facebook and Twitter.

also there’s a time limit for which you can give karma to the same user, which I think is “10 hours” I’m not sure if that’s that exact time though.
You are correct. It is 10 hours before an user can be able to send another Karma to the same users he sent Karma to.

I think it's another way to say thank you and it might be useful to help you join a signature campaign but I don't think campaign managers focus on it. If you don't get Karma, it's not bad, but negative Karma gives a negative impression about your account.

Users generally cannot see who gave the karma and also which posts were given karma, whether positive karma or negative karma.

However, if you want to get a detailed karma log, you can try the 'The Eye of Sauron' feature (note: this feature is paid):

It can be overwhelming to receive your first karma because you want to know what you did correctly, which warrants someone giving you one Karma so that you can likely do more of it to earn more Karma. To earn more karma, just keep being of value to the forum, contribute reasonably to discussions so someone can learn from you, and give your comment or post a karma, or maybe give you karma because someone will be able to learn from what you posted.

Which means you’ll have to make all your posts constructive if you wish to earn karma from all of them or most of them.
I just found out that the rules are like that for Karma giving and it seems very interesting to discuss.
Yes, I also try to continue making constructive posts because I am present in this altcoinstalks forum to learn about cryptocurrency.

I almost forgot to mention; not all ranks can give out Karma - you’ll have to get to a certain rank before you’ll be able to give karma to a post you think is useful and also there’s a time limit for which you can give karma to the same user, which I think is “10 hours” I’m not sure if that’s that exact time though.
......
This is also a very unique question for me because I saw on my account profile I didn't find a button to send Karma.
This is very strange for me who is new here and that's why I asked about this Karma.

Honestly, i give it to you after your reply here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=323353.msg1602544#msg1602544

Yosshhh, Thanks sir, you are the first member who sent me Karma and I currently have 4 Karma. Amazing.
That means I also get Karma from other members, even though my posts are just like usual which is what I experienced and I am present in this altcoinstalks only to learn about cryptocurrency.

Just continue to post good, more of your posts would be liked and be be given Karma. I see Karma similar just like the likes on social media like Facebook and Twitter.

My Pleasure, I am here just for FUN and to learn cryptocurrency, I also don't want to be too serious in the altcoinstalks forum because my life is already too serious.

But one side I don't know who sent this Karma to me, is this Karma a positive or negative thing in the altcoinstalks forum?
I think it's another way to say thank you and it might be useful to help you join a signature campaign but I don't think campaign managers focus on it.
If you don't get Karma, it's not bad, but negative Karma gives a negative impression about your account.
Ah yes that's right, maybe they say "Thank You" by giving "Karma", this didn't cross my mind and it makes sense to me.

Are there any members in this forum who have Negative Karma?
It seems I haven't searched more widely in the altcoinstalks forum because I see that those who reply to each of my posts mostly have a lot of Karma, more than 30.

Well, it seems like this makes me think hard because when you want to open a hidden feature you have to pay, is this marketing from the Admin and Staff?
But the paid feature is not a problem for those who have the funds and are very interested in opening the locked feature, like this to open Karma Log you have to pay by burning ALTT tokens.

I give you Karma + on your following post:
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=323352.msg1601120#msg1601120
Oh thank you sir, you are the second member who honestly gave a statement about giving Karma after @PX-Z. I am very happy.

Yossh, I'm here at altcoinstalks for FUN and to learn cryptocurrency and maybe this is also a FUN discussion because altcoinstalks has a lot of features that I may not have known before (that's for sure).
I also may only know 1% about the contents of altcoinstalks and this is the right choice for me to continue learning cryptocurrency.

No problem, that karma will grow more as long as you keep post quality and helpful replies/thread. As of today your 4 karma was added another 2. Just keep it up.

It is nice you recognise or remember people you give karma. I don't think I memorize their names, I just read their post and if it interests me, I'll simply give karma.

It's just that, i just sent him the karma (from zero to one) after i got a telegram notification mentioning me, then few minutes later i got a notification of new thread (this thread) as i'm getting notified every thread created on this board. If it happens few hours later, maybe i won't remember it either 😅

Ok nice.
Good that you use telegram bot notification. Without that, it is difficult to surf this forum. I am yet scared of the scammers den called telegram. The trauma of my past experience there is still disturbing me. I have reactivated my telegram account, hope to be active soon and start using the bot again. Both here and in the other forum.

Meanwhile, @Op, this is my first time of seeing karma excite someone. It is first merit that normally excite newbies.

You can just ignore them, and make sure you don't just joining any channels or group. Or if some random stranger message you without giving any reason on its first message better to delete and ignore the message/user just like i usually do. Lol. And last option is changing username.

just understood, it means if we share a post in a thread, it depends on the person who wants to give us karma or not. a person who gives karma must have a good post or just an ordinary one? Please explain for the seniors here.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Any user (as long as their rank is Sr. Member or higher) can give positive or negative Karma to your posts. If your posts are relevant and useful, and help the community, you are likely to get positive Karma from several users. A user can only grant Karma (positive or negative) to the same user every 10 hours, but can grant Karma to different users without restrictions.

In order to use Karma (positive and negative) it is only necessary that the user be a Sr. Member as I said above.

I recommend that you read all the pinned posts on this board to understand things better: Basic questions about this forum (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=255.0).

Okay thank you PX-Z, I will continue to be present at altcoinstalks to provide the best information for all members.
And maybe I will also create a new thread about image upload media and search engines that have problems accessing altcoinstalks.

Congratulations for your first karma

But one side I don't know who sent this Karma to me, is this Karma a positive or negative thing in the altcoinstalks forum?
You have got a positive karma.  If you get negative karma, if you had any previous karma then one will be reduced from it.  And earlier if there was no karma then it would show in your profile as -karma. Karma transactions have not yet been made public in this forum. so moderators and general users can't see karma transactions, who gave karma to whom and when.  Only Admin can see it.

It has been discussed several times when many members teleported from the btt forum, and some members who teleported seemed to be used to the karma system here so it was not a big problem ... so for this karma transaction problem, it is indeed not displayed transparently, but you can see it with "The Eye of Sauron" (a paid feature of this forum).. https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=316161

Keep making good and useful posts, sharing useful things will certainly also bring some karma that will definitely make you even more excited.

As far as I understand, 'The Eye of Sauron (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=316161)' feature will only give you a karma log so you can know who gave karma points, but for now, you won't get information on which posts got karma.
This feature becomes non-exclusive if you are also given access to see the karma log of other users besides you (you may be excluded if you also pay separately for that).

Can I calculate it like this?
Initial karma: 5
Karma increased by 1 because someone gave it to me from another member: 6

Initial karma 5
Karma decreased by 1 because someone took my karma from me from another member: 4

Or how about you?

I thought Moderators and Staff could see Karma transactions, but it turns out that only Admins can see Karma transactions.

Yes, I am here at altcoinstalks trying to learn everything about cryptocurrency because it seems like I am comfortable being present at this altcoinstalks forum.

No, I don't mind it but I am actually amazed by the many features of altcoinstalks and that's why I created this thread.
And I also feel appreciative of myself because this is my first Karma which basically I don't know the function, use, sender, what this karma is used for someday.

Keep making good and useful posts, sharing useful things will certainly also bring some karma that will definitely make you even more excited.
Yeps, I'm on altcoinstalks trying to make posts that may not be good but I'm sure can be valuable and provide information to other members. Especially maybe for the discussion of Bitcoin Core, Altcoins and various unique features of cryptocurrency.

not being able to see who gave out karma to what post (freely) can be limiting since as a newbie you would want to check which kind of posts get appreciated and which ones do not

i would suggest to not aim for karma but instead just genuinely be interested in the forum and have fun in interacting and sharing insights with other members of the forum

+1,
Didn't know it is possible to change username on telegram. In almost all platforms, it is very difficult to change username, didn't know that telegram has a different rule. I use more of WeChat for biz, I can confidently start using telegram actively again.

That's the spirit and exact goal of the admin, a few times I've read him talk about why he decided to make the sender of Karma hidden from the receiver, he mentioned that he wants users of the forum not to overdo themselves, that is, he wants users to interact naturally without the hope of getting anything from another user or the user they are perhaps, replying to.

And to be honest, as much as I would have loved to know who sent me karma, the admin's decision to keep this hidden have indeed contributed greatly to the unity of all users on the forum, we are not divided like it is on BTT where there is a particular group of users always giving merit to themselves regardless of post quality, where as some other users without friends struggle to earn merit even with quality posts.

Since there is no option to see the karma provider so forget this and increase the quality of your posts to earn a lot of karma in the future. This forum has admin and their community so they hide the karma provider option. You may also benefit from btt forum where information about merit provider and trust provider is available. Also you can see which post you got merit from. However, this is altcoinstalks forum so it is normal that rules may different.

That we cannot know who gives us or takes Karma from us can be annoying for many users. But you don't know how much trouble this saves the forum as a community, otherwise it would be a real disaster of meaningless arguments and fights, believe me. In things like Karma, it is better to know almost nothing. It is not difficult to achieve and with patience it increases.
