Bad Feedback

Thank you Vanessa

Again, it was just out of curiosity.

I've gotten bad karma from people just because they don't personally like me. Move on... it's just not important enough to worry about.

The karma limits seems to have been removed, so you can easily offset the past now.

Technically, yes. But only if you have coins I believe. I just hit the Karma button and only positive is available. Not that I care, as I don't give out negative karma, but just letting others know what I see.

I get the option to check "Especially good post" (which I presume gives out a green dot), or "Especially bad post" (which I presume gives out a red dot)

Don't you get that box?

The box itself shows up for all of us, but the "Especially Bad Post" option is only there for paying members.

I believe the karma limit that Lucille mentioned is in regard to how many times you can leave karma in a given 24-hour period. Until fairly recently, I think the limit was twice a day.

News to me, but it's possible. I rarely hit the limits unless I'm trying to cycle through to double up on somebody.

Sort of...what happens depends on the "karma power" of the giver. For good karma, the system gives the recipient "reputation points" in the amount of the giver's karma power. For bad karma, the system deducts points in an amount equal to 1/2 the giver's k.power. Many times, there is no obvious change, because the number of points isn't sufficient to change the visible boxes. There are a few different factors that come into play, including length of membership and post count; but I don't remember the details well enough to explain them all.

The restrictions on karma included the number of positives and negatives that a person could give per day (I'm pretty sure it was 2 negs...I thought the positives were higher), how much karma has to be given before you could give more to a given person, etc

It recently changed. I received a couple from the same person within an hour the other day.

Yes, I changed this recently without any fanfare. Someone needs to keep you all on your toes......
