Karma review request

[Agbe]

To be sincere, there are times the way we approached issues also made those guys to give us -Karma. Sometimes we talk authoritatively and those are also humans. And in this case we can't judge the it from any angle because the reason why the user gave examplens the -Karma was not known because the Karma log is not visible. And I believed the admin which is the eyes of the gods, Omniscient and Omnipresent has given his verdict because he sees everything and how it happens. But we should also not be harsh to one another. We can correct ourselves politely.

Yeah giving repetitive -karma is just a bad idea.👎 I can see giving someone one neg but setting up a bot do do it every 12 hours is simply poor form.

I have to correct you, you can give +/- karma to an individual user every 10 hours and that is actually a good restriction considering that it prevents those who abuse karma from doing even more damage before they are caught. Some users have the opposite opinion about it, but considering that the karma system is anonymous, I think it is a necessary security mechanism.

I think we are cross communicating on this.

I like that giving - karma or + karma is time limited. If the limit is 10 hours or 12 hours both times for a limit seem okay.

I think making a bot to give a neg - karma over and over and over  is a bad idea.

The op got a repeat -karma every 12 hours on the dot which was likely done by a bot. Set to a time that got past the 10 or 12 hour time limit set by admins.

edit : you are correct that the time is 10 hours.
I think the -karma bot was set to 12 hours which got around the time limit.
I think no one should do that as it is a bad idea.
If you want to give a neg give just 1 and get over it.

☝️ This is basically the point.

It's also worth being aware that if you found a post low-quality, bad taste, etc, then it's likely someone else did also. So when giving someone negative karma, you have to also bear in mind that users might be doing this also, and can easily lead to a pile one. Going back to give -karma to the same user is otherwise just bad form and should be strongly discouraged. Granted it's happened before when users have been targeted with -k, especially by decentralised team, when certain punishments were not considered harsh enough for certain users, but it was never a solution to the problem either. This is part of the reason we have judges and presidents instead or of admin discretion... or at least that's part of the idea.

Anyway, this issue has since been resolved so recommending a Judge locks this thread now. For any new issues a new court case should be opened.
