Accidentally gave Negative karma

[Zed0X]

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 comeback later after the cooldown to cancel out the extra +karma given accidentally. Yeah, it's not something most members would do because it's easily forgotten but that's the only way I could think of. You probably would not remember who you gave it too after 10 hours.

If you gave someone +karma accidentally, it is not a problem that should be solved IMO. If the one is a good poster, then one karma more is not a problem. If the one is a bad poster, he'll get -karma from others and later even negative badges. So some occasional accidental +karma should not be a problem.

I would not bother myself for give an accident +1 but I will bother if I give accidental -1. I believe in rewarding the good in order to have more good people that punishing the bad to scare bad doers. I hardly hand a -ve karma, unless for an obvious spammer who writes generic low value posts.

Wish this wasn't there in the first place but unfortunately we have to live with it as its part of the Altcointalks DNA and how things run around here.

Good to see you countered the negative karma with a positive one.

if in the accident you still remember the username of the person you gave negative karma to, the easiest way is to give him positive karma again .. it will produce karma+ for him, and it is better than you hurt his heart ...

for example, someone with username A has karma 100 ... when you accidentally press negative karma on his post, then his karma will become 99 .. but as soon as possible when you press karma+ for username A, then his karma will become 101 ... unfortunately it can not return to 100 again unless someone gives the opposite karma from another user.

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?

I understand perfectly what you mean because I have also made this same mistake once or twice or even more times in the past, and each time I made this mistake, I did exactly what you did to cancel the Negative Karma.

And i also know that you are not the first the person creating this a thread concerning this issue, I also have created a thread as regards to this same issue in the past, and this still is one areas the forum needs some improvement.

But then, we all have to be patient since admin is also trying his best to ensure the forum is running smoothly at all times with no or minimal downtime, I believe that in the future, the admin will install a small pop-up confirmation screen for user to confirm whether or not they want to proceed with sending a positive or negative karma, this will solve this whole issue of mistakenly giving another user karma..

+karma to you.

I don't remember where a similar topic was discussed. I mean, if a user accidentally clicks the Negative Karma button, of course, as everyone knows, the mistake can be rectified by clicking the Positive Karma button afterwards.

I didn't like this solution, and at the time, I proposed the idea of ​​adding code to display a confirmation message, "Are you sure?", when the Negative Karma button is clicked. In my opinion, this solution would be more effective, but it would, of course, require reprogramming the pages to include the code.

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.
....

I once happened like OP, more precisely when I scrolled the Altcounstalks website page and wanted to see a member's profile. When I will click on the member profile but I click the negative karma (-) because I loaded the internet (at that time I opened the Altcoinstalks forum in the reality work near the forest).
At that time, I did not want to extend the problem and finally I gave the positive karma (+) to the member so that it would occur neutral (there was no additional karma or karma reduction).

This incident had been a long time, I had forgotten a little but as I recall when I was promoted when I became a Senior Member and at that time I saw the negative and positive karma column in every user's post.

I suggested many times on forum related sections that we should at least have another notification or warning pop-up window that asks for confirmation about giving both, negative and positive karma. I also once gave negative karma to someone and to manage I have to give 2 positive karma one to manage and one I was going to give already.

Hmm, if I remembered to give the 2nd one 

Well, we need a confirmation system in place before hitting a karma, otherwise what if we accidentally gave negative karma to a person who had zero karma, their courage might break by seeing a negative karma.

Not necessary, in my opinion. It would just waste everyone's precious time. I once proposed this same idea in BTT but later realized it would only create unnecessary hassle for other members after reading a reply from LoyceV.

Of course, the traffic isn't that great here. As a result, the karma transactions aren't significant! But when the situation changes, it could create problems. Tbh, I don't think accidental transactions are a big deal! You can always positive karma to counter that. It's not a permanent thing like merit.

What should be done (if possible) is to make changes to the karma button, I guess adjust its size or change its position.

I have been in this situation for so many time but on other forums and once i detected for such, then i quickly withdrew it and replace with the appropriate one, if you have given someone a karma by mistake and you're aware of it, then try as quick as possible to reverse it, that settles the case, don't just leave it without acting upon it, because for no reason have you given it to another person, except if you're not even aware and it happens at your subconsciousness.

[Baofeng]

Which regards to the button, I think it's perfectly so I do not think that it need changes.

And everyone makes a mistakes and it's good that we can negate that negative karma with a positive one. And the good thing is that the OP try to address this issue and open this thread because of his honest mistakes so there's no need to worry.

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.

yeah so if a user had 100 karma then you gave him negative karma, it will go down to 99 but if you give positive karma the user's karma will go to 101 and so if you are trying to make up for the negative karma you accidentally gave then you shouldnt worry because you certainly can

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.

honestly i also do not think we should worry much if you are receiving negative karma once a week maybe it is just some of your posts disagree with other people it is not that worrying because we all have different opinions but if you are getting negative karma every day then it is a pattern and maybe there is nothing you are saying that anyone agrees with

This can happen, but I think that I should remind that giving -karma just for any opinion is incorrect way of using karma system. -Karma is for bad behavior: someone is too rude with others, posts low quality posts just to increase his post count, spamms and doing something inappropriate like that. Not just for unpopular opinion.

[Gposas]

With the comments of most users on OP's topic it is clear that the giver of the -karma has to correct his mistake by himself.
Then how about the user ends up feelings its his mistake and probably forgets to rectify and just continues in the forum that way, would there be a penalty for such user?
Or the user given the -karma is just left to continue with the gift he didn't deserve?
