Eh up, I'm back to 32%!!!                                                                                                                                                                               

lol mine is rubbish but never thought about karma really                                                                                                                                                                               

For gods sake is the size of your karma that important????   Or is it quality as opposed to quality???                                                                                                                                                                             

well size does matter to some extent but i dont care if i am having fun lmao                                                                                                                                                                              

Think SF's post was in relation to my post EW, lol.... but you've penned what I was thinking - great minds and all that eh
                                                                                                                                                                             

It does however give other people some reassurance that you're not just a new member of the site with no other interaction   sadly, i dont find it reassuring at all, completely the opposite lol, made wonder why their karma is so high (if they are pm'ing every member randomly, that leaves a lot to be desired).. lol..  so in my opinion (just opinion) karma does not give a true reflection of the member!..    eg. someone pm'ing every male/female on the website, how does that make them safer ?  isnt that just a bit creepy? lol     you can understand the mods having high karma.. that makes perfect sense; also received a pm from a mod when you first join the site is reassuring...     i dont take any notice of my karma.. lol                                                                                                                                                                             

for someone who doesn't take any notice of Karma, you did just raise a topic that's been dead for a month and posted a lengthy message.                                                                                                                                                                                

lol .. i wasnt aware commenting on this post would have any effect on my karma  
                                                                                                                                                                             

  Every post we make has an effect, if we post wordy posts karma rating could go up, when we post just a few words, or an icon on its own, then Karma rating can go down.   There are many factors that make up a total karma score, a percentage of the top posters score is also one of them. If their rating falls then so do ours.    This topic is like the 'what does a nod mean?' or the 'what's a real biker?' topics. I'm sure in a few weeks another new member will be asking the same questions about the karma rating.   If it had an off switch I'd use it.                                                                                                                                                                               

lol kwak... you mean you dont have control of the switch woman!!!!   i honestly dont understand how karma works.. nor do i care to.. its not giving us a realistic impression of the member so i just ignore it! the nicest and most genuine people ive met on here have low karma. lol                                                                                                                                                                             

  In case anyone is wondering I meant the off switch to my karma rating, not the off switch to the newbies lol   No I don't, Geordie, surprising  init?                                                                                                                                                                              

I want negative karma!!! how short do my posts have to be?   no fence jokes pls.
