I vote to remove Karma or at least the negative part of it..

negative Karma has NO ADDED VALUE in a forum, except for frustrated anonymous people...

And then puts a negative spin on why its there and questions that persons character just because someone clicked smite...

I posted this because I got two smites, and I wonder who did it... hey I'm a nice guy... ;)

I disagree. I don't think it has anything to do with a members character. It is a tool for members to get a sense of whether they are doing the right or wrong thing in other members eyes. When I make a post I am very pleased to receive a positive and if I get a negative I don't take it personally. It makes me look back at what I did or said to make my post better next time. Good feature in my opinion. I would miss it if it was eliminated.

Definately Digging this One Back Up

I Feel the (-) Karma Should be Removed for Good on the Fact that I Posted Something that Certain Persons didn,t Agree with--All of a Sudden Because of that Post I Have -4 Now and Not Even 1 + for any Posted Contributions

Does it Make me Feel Degraded--Hell Yes

Does it make me Fell Not Wanted on Here & Not to Post Anymore & Contribute--Most Likely

Does it Make me Realize the Site is Starting to Get Like Other Sites who Have to Be Politically Correct--Heading that Way (at least in my point of view)

Is it Fair for Any Member to Have a (-) Karma---Absolutely Not

Everyone Should be Treated Fairly with Positives Not Negitives--this Makes People Feel Good on what they Contribute and will Give More Incentive to Keep on Going--Negitives Give the Oppertunity to Go Somewhere Eles and Bad Mouth the Site

Do We Want That Absolutely Not

I belong to many forums for various interests. This is the only one I remember having karma. Most let you "like" a particular post similar to facebook.  It facilitates positive reinforcement or nothing at all. I can't see karma on tapatalk app but I must be like -10000 by now.  Don't really care.
