My Karma Just dropped by 10

[God Of Thunder]

I don't know if this is the right board to create this thread. But I am creating it here, and I hope the moderators will move it to the board where it fits most.

If I remember correctly, I had 73 karma until yesterday. This morning, I woke up and noticed that my karma had been reduced by ten, and it's 63 now. I did not get any notifications, and I don't think I have ever broken any forum rules. I would love to know more about the issue. Was it done by the admin or by a moderator? What could be the possible reason?

I created a thread in Airdrops and Giveaways, but it is no longer available. I assume this is related to that thread. Could you please explain why it was removed?

If I have created the thread on the wrong board, they can simply move it somewhere else. This is a common mistake. But what is the point of deleting it unless it does not violate any forum rules? I always thought it was a friendly forum. I am totally disappointed.

Edit: well, guys, I found my thread in another board and here is the response from admin.

No you will not!
this is clearly a section for active airdrops, not discussion about airdrops
if you have looked at the section for 10 seconds you would have noticed that.

this kind of posts that land in specialised sections upset me a lot, -10 karma

Feel free to write your thoughts. Was it justified?

It's too bad https://pxzone.online/ is down, because I think it offers karma tracking by day/week/month ranges.
I'm curious to know what could have cost you -10 karma.

For your deleted thread, are you sure it's not just a mod error? It can happen, have you contacted the mod?

I am curious as well. I want to know what could be the reason for minus ten karma. It's not easy to earn 10 karma here. I have been earning karma naturally and by doing anything abusive. So, it's a big disappointment for me. I remember I reported the plagiarism of a mod, and he got punished as well. But I don't remember deducting karma for that.

When the last time the admin deleted one of my posts in his thread, he sent me a PM saying that your post was deleted. If you want to discuss it, please create a dedicated thread. It was about a forum feature.

I don't know if it's a mod error or not. If so, I would like the mod to fix it if possible. I don't think deleting a thread and deducting ten karma at once could be an error. I am expecting replies from mods.

I really think we should have a log of recent karma changes.a

Personal Positive and negative karma log should be available to everyone.

If someone gives me +1 or -1 karma , I should know what topic is this person/mod is taking about about.
Maybe I don't need to know who gave me the karma, but to which comment.

This is basically a feedback. Showing how we can improve.

Correct. I agree with this.
The logic behind not showing karma was that "it may create a conflict in the forum, and people will start using karma as a weapon." But there is no problem if I don't know who gave me negative karma. People can only fight if they know who gave them negative karma. But they cannot if they don't know who gave them the negative karma.

I need to know why I got ten negative karma. If there were stats and I could check which post is the reason of getting negative karma, I could improve myself. Removing karma from the profile and deleting a thread without informing the author is not a good idea. Bitcointalk users get a private message when their threads, posts get deleted. I guess this forum can take it as an example.

[edit]

Before the edit and added information in the OP, I mentioned about referral link and that there was a proper board for that. It's just right below the Airdrop section that's why I can also understand the admin's frustration.

To the question if the -10 Karma is justified or not, I guess it depends on how many times this was done by the offender. In OP's case, I don't think so because it seems it's done once only.

Since I've been on the forum, this is the first time I've seen (at least publicly) that the admin reacted like this, but he was obviously angered by what you did and punished you with -10 karma. I'm not one of those who can or wants to judge whether it's an appropriate punishment, but if nothing else, at least you found out the reason why it happened.

I hope that we will soon get a new feature that will show which post has received +/- karma, which would mean a lot in the fight against karma abuse.

I think it is better to lock that topic and stop discussing using it. admin told you that board are for active airdrop only not for discussion , yet you made another reply (I'm afraid it will become -20) edit see blown
You can easily gain +10 Karma and no one will notice that drop, after some time you debate about making it -1 or -5 in the future.
many BTT accounts were banned due to plagiarism and they did not know it.

I haven't posted any referral links out side of the boards where referral links are allowed. Since I haven't posted any referral link, why should be frustrated?

The offense is that I created a thread on the wrong board (according to him). But did you notice my response in that thread? Do you think creating a thread on the wrong board is an offense? Especially when it is done once? Creating a thread on the wrong board is a common mistake. There are a lot of boards, and sometimes we get confused and unable to decide where to create the thread.

I am quoting my response below:

Well, I am sorry that I disappointed you. But I failed to understand why you were so disappointed. Just because the thread was created on the wrong board? As I can see, you have moved it to another board and the name of this board is "Cryptocurrency discussions". Now I can say, the board does not fit for airdrop discussions as well.

For your kind information, I have checked the board a couple of times before I created this thread. I thought this is the right section to discuss airdrops because the name of this board is related to airdrops. Unfortunately, this is the only board I find with the keyword "Airdrops"

As you can see, I am a teleported member who have been in this forum for no longer than six months. It takes time to navigate the forum especially when there are countless dead boards without any activity. Creating thread in a wrong board is a common mistake. This is not something I have done for any kind of benefits. This is just innocent mistakes which can be done by any human being. Does it really breaks any forum rules? Do you consider it as offense?

I think it is better to lock that topic and stop discussing using it. admin told you that board are for active airdrop only not for discussion , yet you made another reply (I'm afraid it will become -20)

Probably you haven't checked the thread again. The thread has already been moved to the cryptocurrency discussion board. So, there is no offense if anyone writes there.

At the time when I came to this thread and checked the Op profile the karmas have reduced to 62 which means 1 karma has been removed again so the best way is to lock that thread over there before another users mistakenly make comments there and got there -Karma there. Op sorry for your nightmare. The admin is a simple person. If you would say sorry and left or locked the thread, the admin would have pitied you to refilled the karmas from another means. You can still get it back. Just calm down. A mistake is to correct oneself.

That's right, now if you give me -1 Karma, should I be upset? admin can give +10 so you got -10.

[kulkhan]

Very sad news. I think you should more conscious about this it. Earn 10 karma is so tuff now a days. But It takes no time to waste this valuable karma. And we know admin post about Forum ruls. If we follow that then we able to avoid this kinds of dangers.

And i think you Can apologize for this mistake, i think Our Admin sir will consider your issue. Thankyou.

Really to earn karma point is hard this days so when one lost such amount of karma it will be painful but Op has to go on, with God all things are possible. When I start this forum my karmas were just disappearing and the more I complained the more they were reducing so I stopped complaining. And that thing made me angry and also weakened me. But I am still active.

[bayu7adi]

I'm confused, the topic you created is still related to airdrops and I think it's in the right sub. I just visited the blast.io website and I think this is really an airdrop like the others. Maybe the admin has a different perspective on what I think, and I respect that.

Getting karma nowadays is not easy, and as a forum user who has only been using the forum for a few months, I think karma is the only measuring tool to determine activity and contribution to the forum. This is why I am interested in collecting positive karma by being a little more active in visiting forums every day.

I understand that admin can give anything if he wants, what this op is trying to say is, why not just a warning, like for the first time, I don't know really if he made this mistake before but to my knowledge this is his first time and he is really a good and sophisticated poster. I did not see such punishment by Admin in my time here and this is also OP's first experience. You are an old member and you can shed some light if Admin gave this punishment to anyone else besides the ones who lost all of there karmas due to phishing it or exchanging it and maybe due to plagiarism.

Well, you are right about the fact that OP can get more than 10 why make a fuss out of it? I think he also gets frustrated like admin. I hope the admin will make an explanation of such punishments so we can save ourselves from making the same mistakes. I mean if we will know this mistakes will cost us this why would we do that. Overall its totally admins decision and his forum.
