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.  


[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.  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!

(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.

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.

* iago points out that, since Adron is admin, he moderates all forums

No, he moderates a few selected forums and administrates all forums. =P
