Your criteria to grant +/- Karma to someone!

[hugeblack]

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.

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.

I somehow got carma already but I am not sure why

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.

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.

[libert19]

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.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

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.

[Zed0X]

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.
