Accidentally gave Negative karma

[Ambatman]

As the title entail. I don't know if another has been in this situation but I recently accidently gave someone a negative karma while scrolling with my mobile and had to give back a positive karma to cancel out.


What am trying to say is
It's quite easy to accidently click on karma + or - because it's just in the screen and doesn't show anything to make sure you sure.

I hope what I posted is understandable
What are your thoughts?

Nothing to be worry about mate. No one’s gonna bite you. Every one of us has accidentally given negative karma to someone and quickly reverted it back. If you gave positive karma after the accidental negative one, you should be just fine. The karma count wouldn't change.
I remembered, I once accidentally gave Royse negative karma, Lol...

If you accidentally give a negative karma which I have done multiple times - if you click on the Positive karma it doesn’t just cancel out the negative karma you accidentally gave, instead it cancels it and also adds one extra karma to that user.

What are your thoughts?
 

It’s not a big deal actually, if the user receives both negative karma and positive karma notifications assuming they are making use of the telegram bots they should be able to decipher that it was an accident and from the time difference between both notifications whoever made the mistake corrected it instantly.

What about a situation where  you don't know who you gave?

Lol Wow. I guess accidentally giving negative karma is a common thing.


Off topic : any idea on the limit of karma one can send in a day?
I'm quite open handed if I find the post to my liking since there's no perceived limitation like merit.

Well, that becomes a whole different issue entirely - the forum doesn’t any means for you to check the people you gave karma to whether positive or negative karma so I don’t see how this can be fixed, except the admin decides to add a section where you have to confirm that you actually want to give the negative karma - that could fix this issue.

But as for the past cases where you gave karma but can’t recall who the user was - I’m afraid there’s nothing that can be done - as far as I know.

Edit:

I don’t know about the daily limit but I can still recall that there a 10 hours limit before you can send karma again to the same user.

It happens most of the time to me, but when I noticed what I've done, I simply put back their positive karma. Theres nothing wrong. I guess some of the complains we get on the forum about karma reducing for no reason might be something relating to this.

It is fine that you noticed that you accidentally gave -1 and immediately gave a counter +1. It would have been a problem if you didn't realise you clicked -1, which I believe doesn't happen. Atleast for either -1 or +1 to happen, there must be a click.
I encountered this issue in another way. I wanted to give +1 and mistakenly gave -1, then I had to counter it with +1, then I tried giving the original +1 I intended to give, but the system won't allow me till 10hrs. And before then, I must have forgotten.

If the system doesn't allow you give +karma to someone, it means you just gave it. The same with -karma.

When you give -karma by a mistake and then you give +karma, it gives +2 karma: +1 to compensate the negative 1 and another +1 as if you gave +karma from the beginning.

This has never happened to me, so this is really new information to me, and I haven't personally read it anywhere, so it's good that you shared it with everyone publicly. It would be even better if, before karma is awarded, each user were asked if they were sure they wanted to perform such an action - and that way, such mistakes would be minimized.

Yes the subject has said it all. And it happens, though I have not done it but someone has complain it before. And it is good to put a warning box like merit in the other forum when you want to send karma. There should be a pop up box to warn you if really you want to send karma to this user. Though what you did is not wrong and as you have resend the karma back to the person, all have been settled.

But when you have mistaken given someone -karma, you can't just give the person +karma immediately, though I have not tried it but I am saying because when you give karma, you can't give the person immediately again and you have to wait for another 10 hours.

I noticed this and that's what I am going to mention here as well but there's a problem with it. If we gave that -Karma accidentally and have no intention of giving positive or negative then we have no way to cancel out that mistake, it can either be +1 or -! from that point.

You can, it is how the problem is usually solved: just after you mistakenly gave -karma tap +karma, it will work and the person will have 1 karma more than he had before you mistakenly gave him -karma. You can't give -karma twice to the same user or +karma twice to the same user.

Oh nice... If it's this way, I have nothing to worry about. I had always thought that if I mistakenly give -1 and immediately click +1, I was only able to counter the -1.
The program is written in such a way that if there is - and + click within an n-second, the system will treat it as special case of mistake.

When negative karma would have been an issue is that, if it actually showed that a user has a negative karma on their profile on this misconduct like the way in the other forum.

Like the way it is here, if you, a user, are given a negative karma, what it will do is subtract the karma they already have; other users won't know a negative karma was given to a user.

In this kind of case, nothing is to worry about negative karma given to someone because it can't be undone, except you gave positive karma to counter it.

Okay noted thanks for this. I was thinking that it is not possible because it is not working with + karma twice at a go but as for the -karma I have not tried it twice. I have not given someone -karma twice a go. But to trying to give positive karma twi when I see a good posts but it is it is not going and a pop up box will pay to tell you that I have to wait for another 10 hours. Men that is long period of time so I only give once a day next I can't wait to do that.

I have other things doing in offline and other online activities even other forums too.
