Karma system enabled, applaud or smite

[Grumpy]

You guys have it all wrong on the karma thing.

I am only following protocol - if you post something endlessly trifle, reiterative, or just plane stupid, in a thread that I am following - then you get smited. Post something useful in some way shape or form and you get applauded.

This being the case, I have smited Paul everytime he has mentioned a geiger counter - and I already explained why the use of one is not satisfactory, but he keeps bringing it up - I gave him about 5 total give or take.

I_S has 53 smites - I only gave him 3 - so who else is dishing out the smites?

Saint Buzz (TheBuzz) has like 30 smites - I assume the troll network is smiting him randomly and from different accounts - but not too often or it looks suspicious - following their own protocol.

I have 8 or so smites - at least one per troll that has been identified.

Ramset has about 20 smites - pretty suspicious when he never posts anything derogatory - perhaps he is a troll target or a decoy/center as protocol would require.  If he is, then he plays both sides and I'll start smiting him too.  Until that is determined, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.   I did give him two applauds but the smighting attack was too strong.  I suspect trolls are behind it and make it look like Saint Buzz's group - both sides against each other again.

Calling out the trolls is the best thing to ever happen on this forum.

I'm not going to stoop to your level by retorting to name calling such as "trolls" as you so enjoy, but I will say that you're talking nonsense. You and the thebuzz refuse to allow anyone to ask for a shred of evidence. Rethink if you believe asking for a shred of proof is "trolling."

IMO Stefan would consider that abusing the Karma. You can't stop people from asking for evidence. You are so biased that you refuse to even listen to people. You make immediate assumptions the instant you don't like what someone says.

Why is this even a discussion. Just a waste of time.

What now, we will look forward to The Daily Karma Rapport.

I for one will not stay in such and environment so I will simply leave if this Karma Krap does not dissappear from this forum. End of story. I did not sign up for this.

Paul, you have been in the game a long time.  Long enough to have had the goods a few times, so cut the BS, OK?   We know what you are now - live with it.   SAiNt Buzz is tryng to convey information that will enable the understanding of anomalous energy producing devices, and all you can do is attempt to prevent this - why?

"Troll" is just a term.  Haven't you heard of "trolling"?  It's a "marine" term. 

"Karma" was a good idea, but it's not "real", as you can see.  Might as well turn it back off now, as it no replacement for a moderation.

I second that; i.e., I'm not staying here so long as the karma system is active. Stefan is doing a great job, but it's chaos over here due to certain people who continually partake in Ad hominem. The karma may be Stefans only option, unless he were to start banning certain people.

Thane has suggested a few people to be ban at this forum. I second his ban list.

Peace to Stefan and all the good people at this forum!
