People need to stop posting +1/-1 messages. It's annoying, and quite frankly, your YaBB karmic value doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot. The only reason some of these posts have replies is because people are talking about how they +1/-1'd some idiotic thing someone said. Rather than get into that, why not just click the Applaud/Smite button and get on with life? Why do you feel we need to know your reason for clicking a mouse button? Seriously, come on.
Obviously if I didn't say this, some moron would think he was being hilarious and post a +1/-1 message in response. Yeah, go ahead, get it out of your system, you mindless twit.
I think you need to relax and go outside for a minute. Take a walk around the block and kick a kitten or something. You'll feel much better. >:D
[edit] I smite thee - I applaude myself [/edit]
The karma posts are deceptively useful. You think, "Hey, maybe someone posted a reply to this. I'd like to see how that problem was worked out." Instead, you see 15 people posting about how they +1/-1'd someone for some inane reason! YaBB needs to die for introducing such a stupid "feature".
There have been a few times when I have been quite entertained by the "Karma Post":
QuoteGoogle also has other joke languages... klingon, bork bork bork, pig latin, korean, and elmer fudd :)
Quote+1 to Ickypoopy for saying Korean is a joke language.
Now that was pretty damn funny, even if I said it myself. You know you smiled when you read that.
I understand your frustration at following a thread only to be dashed to the jagged rocks below by a mindless "+1 to Jimbob for not pissing his pants" post. I still think that you need to kick the kitty. (http://www.zooass.com/games/kickthekitty/main.shtml) Either that or ask somebody to disable the Karma Mod in the forum.
Cup: You are stupid for taking the time to analyze people that do that. Who cares?
-1 for you!
/me notices that you took the time to evaluate and read this thread.
(Not to mention giving me -1 for it.) Way to go, hypocrite.
+1 to CupHead for realizing how stupid Karma is.
-1 to CupHead for complaining about it
CupHead gets 0 for both.
Bah, somebody already did it, but I'll do it again because I'm like that.
-1 to Cuphead for complaining about Karma.
Ps. Only useless threads end up degrading into Karma wars, threads that woudln't go anywhere anyway. Feel free to post a non-karmaic response to any of them if you feel the post deserves a better response!
This reply is to inform you, the readers, that I have given CupHead either +1 or -1 for this thread. Whether a +1 or a -1 was given will not be disclosed, nor the reason of the applause/smiting.

Muwahaha.
I agree with CupHead that Karma change notifications shouldn't be made in the programming forums - it just throws the thread off topic. However, it is usually humorous correctly placed in the fun forums.
/me definately DIDN'T give CupHead a -1
damn I can't keep a straight face.

That was totally hilarious, the first karmic joke I've seen that's actually been funny :)

I agree. A Karma change notification that doesn't add value to the thread posted in a forum that I moderate will be deleted. In addition to that, the poster of the notification may be banned.
/me points out that, since Adron is admin, he moderates all forums

No, he moderates a few selected forums and administrates all forums. =P
-1 to Cuphead for posting this and then stealing karmabot idea.

He can delete posts from all forums, though, and that was his point, -1 to spht for .. that.
And I agree with Arta about the irony of Cuphead implementing Karma :)
After making this post this is what Cuphead tells me in the channel: " -1 to Invert[vL] for using profanity."
He called me a hypocrite? He needs to look in the mirror.
Maybe you didn't read the last two posts, Invert?

I pointed out in my post that I'd only be doing something about useless karma posts in forums that I moderate.
Yes, I can delete posts in any forum, but I'd only do that if there's a really important and urgent reason to do so myself instead of waiting for the forum moderator. Some post being off-topic doesn't qualify.
