Subject: The main problem.

Posted by: Tanikaze
Achronos, it sounds like a good idea, but what about that "I'm better than you because I can go to this extra forum, neener-neener-neener" mentality? Would they lose karma for being jerks like that?


The answer to that is simple. If they have an "I'm better than you" mentality then they probably would never get the karma points required in the first place. The few that slip by simply get their karma reset.

One question about this entire "karma" thing: If this system is to be introduced, what about all of the older members? Does everyone start at the same "level" as everyone else, or do we older (let's say 6 month membership) start at a higher level of karmaness(?)?

I think i have proven myself to be a "good" member( yeah yeah, you all go "cough"), so if this system will come, do i have to proof myself all over again?


Retroactive Karma for the 'good' members and Retroactive Karmic Retribution for the 'bad' ??

Or are you just saying you don't want to start over?I certainly don't want to be regarded as 'equal' to some of the pond scum filtering in here, but some of the new ones aren't so bad, and shouldn't be penalized because they're new.

Sort of. i mean some people have been here for years and have always tried to help the forums in a good way. i just think it's odd that these people wouldn't get immediate access to the extra stuff or whatever. And you make a good point about "scum". what about the people that are known to thrash the forums?will they start with less karma? or is it a fresh clean start for everyone?

These are all issues I'm sure they are pondering right now --

I, for one, am in favor of a separate forum, not to seem elitist or anything, but as an escape, where we could be similar to the flood, but have it be any topic instead of off topic, just to avoid the spam on bad days.

Can I nominate a name? I would call it -- Sanctuary.

Yeah, I suppose that the new forum would actually be good.

I often find myself wanting to post an intelligent post about Halo 2, but it just gets lost in New Mombasa. It flies off the page immediatly, and few intelligent posters go into New Mombasa, let alone find my post.

Maybe, with a private forum, people would actually try to be good, and have an incentive not to be a jerk.

The Ark would be neat, but High Charity would be turned into something elitist I think...

I personally thing the "change in title" idea's really cool, but yeah, we all know how bungie wants to just make it so that all members are equal, but seriously, are good, loyal, and contributive members as valuable as Spammers and Flammers who last a month? But whatever, I'll stick by Bungie with whatever they do.
