Okay, what is karma and how do I get some was created by tamar
I see all posts have a "karma meter", or is it all posters? I'm being lazy and don't want to try to find the answer myself, so can someone spoon-feed me an explanation? :S

I'm learning as I go, but it looks to be a popularity rating. I smited you (thumbs down) and you got a negative number (-1). Then I gave you thumbs up and you went back to zero.

Not sure what the purpose is. I'll ask about that.

Okay. I applauded you and gave you some karma. Now you know how to get some.

Somebody please click on the Thumbs Up by Tamar's Karma because as I was reading what Sandi wrote I put my cursor up there on the red and accidently clicked it and it took her Karma away and now I can't click on her green one for 6 hours and I'll be sleeping then.

Sorry Tamar.

[Does the Karma seem a bit childish?!]

Karma is supposed to be given when somebody is particularly helpful or as a mark to say congratulations or something. On another board I'm on people also give it for birthdays but I could see it given here say, when someone has a baby. Whether the whole giving of karma and particularly the ability to take it away, is a good thing or not is debateable.

Okay, sorry to start off probably getting bad karma, but I think the whole karma thing is a bit stupid and inappropriate to this type site.

Norma, I agree, especially having seen a few(!) times over the years when things have gotten heated. I don't see the option for polling, but I bet a poll would say let's disable that feature.

I agree with you Norma. It seems childish and immature. I don't think it is needed on a discussion group like this. :S

Its just a little fun. I think the little gadgets and extra emoticons are fun and give a little comic relief to our serious situations, like my kid being sick all the time. I need the lift :silly:

Oh the emoticons are fun :blink:
It's the Karma by the poster's name that is being mentioned.

I am really glad that the " karma " option has been removed. It was not appropriate. Thanks Sandi :)

I wasn't able to remove it, but I did tell the one who could. I don't have the same options to fix things like I did before, so it takes longer to address some of the problems...relay system.

Karma is related to the hindi religion, or used to be. In hindi people believe that their actions in this life determine their next life: for example if they do really well in this life they might be able to become part of the heavens, but if they do badly they could be a mosquito in their next life or something. I'm not hindi or anything, but studied this in history a few years ago...
