Just as the title says, lately people seems to be forgot about giving Karma to the users/posts that has something to contribute in the discussion.
Even though you can give unlimited Karma unless merits are scarce due to the fact you need to earn two merits to give one now why you guys are not spending much Karma when you can.
I am not encouraging abusing it to every comment but it is important to recognize the active and helpful community member that will give further push for their contribution also I reckon most spend karma not really based on the merit of the post but rather just because they like the individual which is not the right way to do it.
I really appreciate everyone's opinions on this.

You have a point .
Karma isn't really flowing as expected considering that it's like unlimited to give out plus you just have to be a senior member to be able to give it. Anyways let's just assume that members haven't really found attractive posts to give karma. Never the less I have also come across some members of recent that have some fancy number of karma.
Another possible explanation is probably that users aren't really taking karma too seriously since it isn't if great importance like merits on bitcoin talk and come to think of it may active members here all teleported from bitcoin talk.
-
I recently had a similar idea, but I didn't pursue it because we can't force people to use karma. Unlike BitcoinTalk, where merits are limited and you need to earn them before giving some out, our karma system is unlimited for senior members and above. So, when you see a deserving post, it's easy to click the karma button. It's even quicker than the merit system, which requires an extra page to input the number of merits you want to give. Let's try to make the karma system more enjoyable while it's still easier to earn.

You are not encouraging abusing karma. Karma is too much faulty. Admin should let people see each other's karma. It should not be hidden. If I have friends on this forum, we can just arrange how we can be sending karma to ourselves. What I am saying is that some people will be abusing it. I guess you do not really have friends on this forum is the reason for your complaint.

Looks like it, some people teleport account here and reach good number of karma in less time. I do not say that they do not make good posts but there could be karma cycling, so karma receiving history would deffo be a nice addition to this forum.
-
I only give karma if I found useful and it seems you can't give multiple karma at the same time it needs to wait 10 hours so I don't think someone can abuse this feature unless they keep giving karma to a useless post since it's not visible who give karma they can easily do this thing. I hope the admin will decide to make it visible so that we know who abuses this feature or who usually uses it on helpful/constructive posts.

We can't expect every post to be something great, that has new thing that no one has ever read of so if someone is giving the right solution to a query then it's worthy of giving a karma even though it's relatively simple cause many of us are here from bitcointalk so we may have been exposure to these knowledge so we just find this ordinary but it doesn't mean it has no value in it.

I mentioned about making karma viewable on multiple threads but only admin can answer why it's been private and he mentioned that it's private to avoid any drama over that but it leads to abuse of the system.

Right, 1 Karma can be given for one individual once for every 10 hours but assume someone is managing 5 different accounts then they can bring all their 5 accounts to 100 Karma in matter of weeks and asked mods about this but admin will watch for such kind of abuse and will lead to penalty but I am watching a lot of users who doesn't even post at all but their karma keeps growing.

Karma is not mandatory for anything here so far. As in btt, there are certain merits required to increase the rank. so the value of merit has increased a lot and there are merit sources who are given a lot of Smerit every month for distribution they have to do that because merit source gives merit for good posts.
Even though you can give unlimited Karma unless merits are scarce due to the fact you need to earn two merits to give one now why you guys are not spending much Karma when you can.
Here no sendable karma is required to send karma but in btt a user can send merit of any amount if that amount of sendable merit is in his account but here you can give maximum 1 karma to the same person and wait for 10 hours to give next karma have to do This is why no matter how good one posts here, one's karma points do not increase to a large amount very quickly. there are many karma transactions here too, but because the transaction is not visible, we cannot understand how many karmas have been received by any post on any topic.

There's restriction on merit system too, one person can send upto 50 merits per user for 30 days cycle.
And here user can recieve more than 1 Karma too from certain users like presidents and assume them as merit source just for the sake of comparison.
My point is why we are not using the system effectively if it's going to help the betterment of the forum, don't keep it too scarce that voids the purpose and people who try to contribute can fed up with such attitude.
-
I agree with you and I already gave you 1 more Karma hehehe
Maybe because users don't need karma immediately, they end up forgetting to give a + Karma or even a - Karma if necessary
I think it's important to use the forum tools as a whole, including Karma, because it can help in the future or even to encourage users to keep posting useful and interesting things
As well as the Trade Count if you have made a transaction here on the forum
We know that in the long run all these tools can help a lot

Yes you told appropriate, we are seeing since long time people are not giving Karma. I think they are forgot about giving Karma. I thank you post will be helpful for giving Karma to us.
I think you who will post informative and good post he deserve a positive Karma for him. So people need knowledge about cryptocurrency, Who will post informative and useful for from users he will get positive Karma I think.

It has been discussed in many topics, and the admin still sticks to the old rules of this forum... the topic of discussing karma came up a lot when btt members did a massive teleportation a few months ago... looking at it from another perspective, this karma is also not too complicated... if you like it, you give (+) to the related post, and if you feel the post is disturbing and seems to attack others or potentially dangerous, the karma (-) is enough to prove your support for upholding justice... I am still quite comfortable with the simple mechanism of karma in the altcoinstalks forum, and it is not a big problem now..
-
Briefly reading the other answers here, it seems that the majority of users agree that the karma system is not the best used on this forum. And it has the potential to be an indicator of the quality of writing for each member.
This has been discussed many times, but since there is no reaction, it can be assumed that this problem is at the bottom of the priority list.
In addition to the fact that there should be visibility on which post a user received karma, I think it is a big mistake to allow any user can pay for the removal of negative karma points, as well as the user can swap karma points for forum tokens.
Any possibility of reputation trading did not bring anything good.
-
The reason may be that it is not a rare thing and everyone can send it, and merit sources are not relied upon in choosing who to join the campaign, as some people were accepted and had low Karma, and others were rejected and had more than 200 Karma.
Giving Karma to posts and replies instead of the account may encourage more Karma use, create high-quality posts, and recognize high-quality posts.
-
Maybe admin should make the + Karma and - Karma buttons bigger, because I guess they are not prominent enough. They have the same font weight as all the other profile text surrounding it, so even making it bold helps. Or perhaps it can be moved to the top right corner of each post next to the Insert Quote button.

+1 karma for this (so that I don't forget) ;)
The idea of having it next to the quote button is very good and makes more sense. Of course, karma points should be awarded per post and not per user.

Yes, the admin or the forum itself had this features even before we teleported here, and maybe if we didn't for sure the system will still be in place.
But I do agree that the (+) and (-) should be at least bigger or next to the post itself so that we will encourage to give it out to posters we like or we think the members put a lot of effort to reply to someone's post.

That's actually a very good idea, will make it more visible so that encourages people to use it along with that it also aligns with bitcointalk's merit button and since most of the users are teleported from there, they can find it more convenient and don't forget to use it if they want to. ;)
And I do stand by the point of making the Karma TXs visible so that people who abuse it due to anonymity can't do it anymore.

You are right, and you got +1 karma for being very thoughtful, I personally have been trying my best when it comes to giving karma to posts i think are worth it, and actually earned quite a few as well, should I assume myself lucky? Cus alot of people are actually complaining about this same issue you complained about, but then, all I can advice us all is to be proactive in appreciating ourselves, giving karma to others serves as not just a motivation, but also encourages them to do more, when I receive good karma, it motivates me, regardless of the fact that I do not know who gave it or which post I got it from, it still makes me happy because it simply means that somebody(a user) actually read my post/comment and liked it.
We all should learn to share this love for our own growth.
-
I think what we should be requesting is to show the post which the karma was given and not karma is not giving thread. Karma is given to all quality posts and and well behaved users in the forum and the to some extent the decentrality of the system is good because they will not use that to do and undo users.

You actually bring up a good point. If you see it is true that we have option to give unlimited karma in this forum but after that it is seen that many members are not interested in giving karma. And what I personally think as the reason for this is that they may think that if they give karma to others, their karma may be more than him, so they refrain from giving karma.
I think we should change this concept from within. I personally post up to 5 to 6 in a day on this forum and give most of those posts that deserve karma.
-
Personally, I don't go around hunting for posts that I could give +/- karma and I also don't keep a list. I do it when I see a good or spam post/comment but I can only give one to the same user even if I want to send more. The 10-hour limitation is sometimes a hindrance for cases like this.

I agree with your statement and this is so true. Newcomers will be discouraged if they won't be given karma on their posts and most of the ranked members don't even want to read their posts but some newcomers make really good posts. I saw new members and getting negative karma instead of getting positive even though the member has not made any bad posts.
You did the right thing by pointing out this issue even though I was not focusing on giving karma to new members because new members are the ones who need karma because old and ranked members have made their place in the community and now and then they get karma and that's not a problem for them.

One fact to start with, for all those teleported from BTT, don't expect to get +karma from any member who never gave you merit on BTT - there are people who don't like you for various reasons and don't care about quality at all of your posts.
Furthermore, there is always competition in the sense that those with the most "recognition" (+karma) have a higher value and a greater chance to enter the best sig campaigns, so some members give very little +karma or don't give it to anyone at all.
My statistics say that I have written 938 posts on this forum and received (so far) 175+ karma and an unknown number of -karma, which means that members roughly reward about 20% of my posts as good content, and the rest went unnoticed. I don't know the exact data, but in the period from February to today, since I've been active on ATT - I think I got at least x3 the number of merits on BTT, which speaks for itself.
However, it's completely pointless to get upset about things like this, because you can't influence people to do something they don't want for one reason or another.

I'm not upset about not receiving Karma for myself just upset about the fact that people are not using it effectively and it has been then it will help the better posts, threads, and comments so that will increase the traffic towards the forum too.
As you said certain people don't want others to surpass them in terms or Karma or anything but I hope those who think that low is not that many, another reason why I am pointing out the lack of using the system is it can spread to other members and people don't use it at all over the period.

How do you know people don't use karma effectively?
I'm sure, more people are aware to use karma now. I sometimes take a look at PX-Z thread (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=320003.0), I see a good progress in karma distribution. It is much better than when karma was implemented for the first time in this forum. Well, I think every thing should take time, even this forum just has many active members. So, it is normal if your karma still can't increase significantly. Moreover, we have a limit of sending karma to one user, it is 1 karma+ per day. By the way, I'm actively sending karma to any good members even if I'm not really active to discuss about karma.

TBH, I don't really understand your point. I suggest you don't view it too pessimistic. No one tries to hinder the growth of karma of certain members. It is impossible to hinder it because we have many people in this forum. Even if we don't send karma+ to him, other members will do it. You just accuse something unclear, mate.
-
I read in another topic that the admin is working on making it possible to see the posts one receive karma on, i think that is very much needed. Right now we cannot see the posts we receive karma and i am sure everyone is eager for that addition.
However, i have not noticed that there is a drop in karma distribution, though i agree that users should send karma whenever they find a post that meets their quality criteria.
-
...

...
It's a possible explanation, because campaign managers already use merits as a parameter for choosing users or keeping them in campaigns in the other forum
Even though here I've never seen anyone comment on karma being a factor to consider to choose for a campaign, it may be that this mentality comes from the user not wanting to distribute karma
I try to give the +karma to the creators of an interesting thread or a more elaborate and constructive post
Maybe karma being in the post instead of having to go to the user could improve this situation and be useful to know which post had a +karma to know that the post helped someone or was good
-
I didn't forgot to give karma for good posts but I feel very limited when I can't give users more than one karma per day.
Karma system needs to be improved, much better to do that than to change forum logo all the time with bunch of new images.

As I already wrote, some people simply do not care about such things, others may have very high standards when it comes to the quality of posts, and others may not even know that they can give karma if they are Senior+ rank, regardless of whether they have ever received karma.
Maybe it's a combination of all these things, and maybe we simply have too few forum users who give karma outside their "local circle".
-
Karma is a way to incentivize post contributors and all altcointalks users to post the next good comment. A good post donor is given positive karma for his inspiration. On the other hand, one is given negative karma only when he breaks forum rules. A user will get positive karma only when his post carries good answers or good questions. So we need to keep these things in mind and encourage good posts with karma. Even we should to avoid negative karma always so remember the rules of the forum.

Well, I understand why you don't get this because you are here from the beginning probably even before the Karma system was implemented so you assume things will be organic forever while recently most of us including myself came from bitcointalk where a similar system is in place which is merit which plays a vital role of user's reputation, a chance to be hired for the signature campaign, etc. So look from a different perspective if everyone felt the same way of not sending anyone Karma ever cause they want to get a spot in sig campaign? This thing will spread like the plague which obviously hinders the growth of the forum.
I see that people spend Karma but every post that deserves get one? I am sure not for whatever reasons like @Lucius pointed out that is why we need to address the situation and make it equal and fairly available not make it as scarce.

It is very possible that it is as you say, since I have sometimes thought the same thing. But looking at it from another angle, that should make the user who doesn't give karma for having more karma than others, think that he should possibly try harder. That way his karma will continue to increase as well as the karma of other users.
Personally, I don't go around hunting for posts that I could give +/- karma and I also don't keep a list. I do it when I see a good or spam post/comment but I can only give one to the same user even if I want to send more. The 10-hour limitation is sometimes a hindrance for cases like this.
It is true that the 10 hour limitation to give positive or negative karma can be a nuisance on many occasions, but that rule is very important to avoid abuse.

I will also not disagree with your this opinion that rather than thought about why the user doesn't give you karma it will be more productive for our future. Actually this is also true that everytime what we think or what we see from our point of view that is might be different on the other peoples think or point of view.
I have just express my opinion and I think these kinds of mentality also have in our minds. And Hard work or dedication could be also lose these kinds of mind set and make about karma point ups. ;)

If there's a way we can find out about our karma history, this point you raised about forgetting karma by forum members would have been easy to trace, the rate at which karma flows in the forum.
However, it's all good how you brought this up for people to remember there's something like karma; it can be given to members who make positive contributions to the forum.
For me, I give positive karma each time I read about good posts. I just sent you a positive karma to confirm to you that karma is given to good posts
-
However, it's all good how you brought this up for people to remember there's something like karma; it can be given to members who make positive contributions to the forum.
Yes, at least every time we want to post something, at least we also consider its quality, because there is a karma feature here that becomes our assessment. For those who do not pay attention to the existence of karma, they will find their karma minus, and for those who pay attention to karma, they will consciously pay attention to the posts and writings they make.
At least, remembering that there is a karma system should be a motivation for every user not to share bad things on this forum.
-
+1 karma @Findingnemo. Personally, I don't hoard karma just like the way I don't hoard merit, once I see any post or comment I like, I usually drop off some karma. I think members are being too sentimental in distribution of karma, it cost nothing to give out karma and I don't see reason why one must hoard karma.

Yes, it is very crucial to determine the quality of each post since the karma system that defines a person’s reputation on the site plays an essential role here. In regard to karma feature, every user is supposed to be more careful when sharing something on the web and pay more attention if the content they put out is useful and appropriate. It can help us make better decisions on what to post, improve the quality of debate in the forum, and be a good netizen.
At the same time, the karma system can also be an additional incentive to publish only useful and constructive information. Thus, when users comprehend that karma expresses personal input and other peoples’ opinion, the segments will act more prudently and conscientiously concerning the information shared. It also enhances the standard of the content in the forum as well as the overall ambiance of the entire community.

It makes no sense to compare karma and merits, because it is not possible to keep hoard karma, which is actually unlimited for all Senior rank + members. As I already wrote, for some members it is obvious that giving karma is a waste of time and supporting the "competition", for some others, maybe the whole thing with karma is confusing considering that they think that it works on the principle of merits.

Just as the title says, lately people seems to be forgot about giving Karma to the users/posts that has something to contribute in the discussion.
Even though you can give unlimited Karma unless merits are scarce due to the fact you need to earn two merits to give one now why you guys are not spending much Karma when you can.
Given karma may sound easy as you can give to as many people as you want since there’s no limitations of how many you can give but limitation to the timeframe you can spend to give more than one at a time to a particular account. Altcoinstalk may seem like a bit free with their karma given tactics but given out to valuable posts when you can and it’s worth it should be encouraged. I almost forgot about karma sometimes ago that it’s free, I always imagine it to be something that I need to have acquired before given out just like merits, but I know with time one will get use to it and give more karma to quality posts that deserves it.

we all want to encourage and be encouraged in posting, interacting, and commenting here on the forum by giving out karmas but i don’t particularly think there’s a lack of karma giving people maybe just a lot of posts are not really that karma giving worthy maybe we should work on posting higher quality content

I am also agree with you, I also think that your post will be very useful for us. We can see that almost users don’t give karma. But i think that it will be inspire an user, so that the will be attention in our forum. So if we all conscious to this matter, then it will be best decision for us. But we also saw that some users are written by wrong decision. But if we will be conscious to this matter. Then we must be improve in this section.

The quality standards increased a lot in the recent times as well as the issuance of Karma but people are not using it most effectively just like many others mentioned due to the resemblance of merit system from bitcointalk but my point is it shouldn't be compared and people should encourage by identifying the real active users not based on other favours.
-
Well, giving Karma is takes some time. It is much easier just to write and read posts. Giving +Karma (or -Karma) is an additional task.
Imagine the live of a merit source in BTT lol.
Anyway, I try to give karma as much as I can (my time is limited as well, but I try to give much karma, just like merits).
Open Karma logs would also solve this, imo. People would give less karma for people who doesnt give karma to anyone...
-
Imagine the live of a merit source in BTT lol.
It is not that different from any other regular member, but they have more available merits to send and receive.
Few days ago i said that I paused my karma activity sending, it has way to many limitations for my taste and I think members are not taking it so seriously like merits in bitcointalk forum (in the past).

Just as the title says, lately people seems to be forgot about giving Karma to the users/posts that has something to contribute in the discussion.
Even though you can give unlimited Karma unless merits are scarce due to the fact you need to earn two merits to give one now why you guys are not spending much Karma when you can.
we all want to encourage and be encouraged in posting, interacting, and commenting here on the forum by giving out karmas but i don’t particularly think there’s a lack of karma giving people maybe just a lot of posts are not really that karma giving worthy maybe we should work on posting higher quality content
Yes, it is true that we would like to use the forums to positively reinforce our peers, but at the same time the quality of the messages posted can influence how much karma one can gain. Perhaps, we could devote more efforts to generating content more relevant to the users’ needs, so the interactions observed in forums can be more rewarding, thus experiencing a greater influence. It makes everyone feel more appreciated and motivated to keep on contributing better quality so that’s why it’s important.
