Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Karma Queen
Please, please, pretty please can we get one more available slot of karma per 24 hour period. I BEG OF YOU
On a serious note, two just doesn't get the job done for me. I like to reward those that spearhead the scammer brigade and it's often more than one person that helps. I know, I can wait until the next day, but sometimes there are three or four new bad guy threads by then.
Basically, it's kind of difficult for active and frequent users to show their appreciation as much as I would like.
I believe there was an abuse issue a while back which reduced the amount of karma points given, which I understand completely, but restricting the amount of uses per day restricts the amount of people that could benefit, not just the amount received ... if that makes sense.
Maybe I'm the only Karma Queen here, but it's one of the many great uses of this site that I enjoy. Since the decrease, many GOOD and USEFUL new members aren't awarded the same benefit that many have already indulged in when the amount was really high. I don't really care because I'm already maxed, but there are good new members that deserve more, but there isn't enough to go around.
Thanks.

I definitely agree with Nick on this one!!
We need more Karma uses.
I often have to skip giving karma to a very good post because I've run out.
And I don't use my karma to curry favor among friends...just to reward or smack down a deserving post.
About 98 percent of my karma goes to very intelligent posts with pertinent info.
I only smack down for repeated idiocy. I usually just slap the offensive posters on my Ignore This Loser list.

Well, the reason for the reduced number of available karma grants was because I wanted people to heavily weigh the worthiness of granting their limited kara "attaboys" or "slap downs". The hope is that people will tend to reserve those karma incidents to more of the "attaboys" rather than the "slap downs" because of this restriction.
I do wish the system had been designed such that I could set separate limits on the PLUS and MINUS karma grants, but such is not the case. So I have to do it this way.....
Sorry, but some people are TOO free and easy with the negative karma, and it just tends to get people riled up unnecessarily. This was a compromise between having NO negative karma capability, and having a larger number of them available to use.

Is it not possible to get maybe 1 or 2 more per day? Please?
How many was in effect before? I never paid attention to how many I could give, I just gave to the ones deserving.

That is exactly the reason I limited it to only two (2). I WANT people to really make it count. It has much more value that way.

I know your the boss and make the final decision, but don't you think the only way to make the 2 karma limit work would be to start everyone over? Just zap it, reset all karma points. I mean, getting karma to some people is half the fun of fauna, including myself, now that there is a 2 a day limit it will take all new people forever to get up there in karma points. Seems kinda unfair.

It's been this way for quite a while now. And yes, at one point all of the karma points were reset back to zero. The reason I had to cut back on the numbers was because it was getting out of hand. I have to do this on CornSnakes.com sometime as the numbers have gotten SO big that they don't even mean anything any longer. One of my moderators over there has a karma level of "10,959,838" with a karma power of "109,663".

While true dat, I do not remember there ever being a time where there was total silence after that happened.
And as long as one is courteous, I see additional comment as additional participation.
So

I agree here, it may be time to level the field again. In my opinion, any good group needs a combination of new people and old people. Let's give the new people a boost up, they will be the leaders some day.
