    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I looked at some of your past posts and I can see why. Our moderators here spend their own time, unpaid, to see that this site runs smoothly. Look at how you replied to one of them:

If you really want more particulars, buy a membership and you can see who left you bad karma and you can reflect on their comments.
 
Your Karma rating has nothing to do with business transactions. It's simply a system for others to rate your posts, either good or bad. If you're that far in the red after only 19 posts, I guess you must have said some things that people just didn't like. If you click on User CP, you'll be able to read whatever comments were left by those giving you Karma. Although, since you're not a Contributor level member, you won't be able to see who left the comments.
 
i didnt known there were people who could ban you thats why i said that comment lucille. i thought it was some person acting big over the computer. how can i get a good transaction score?
 
The red box is your Karma rating - Karma is given to you in respect of whether people like your posts or not.

If you make contributions to threads, and people like or appreciate them, other members can "reward" you by giving you good Karma and your red box will change to green. The more green boxes you have, the more people have valued your contributions to the site.

So, basically, your Karma rating will reflect whether you are a positive or negative member of the community here, in the opinion of the other members. :thumbsup:
 
I remember you, now...I was going to give you negative karma for that post, as well. Couldn't do it because of system limitations, but you certainly deserved. Did you receive a PM about that post?

i got all this karma over liek 2 posts, thats kinda bogus. and yea i got a pm, sorry for offended u guys

There's your answer right there. It wasn't bogus, the posts you made were offensive. Instead of vowing to start anew, and asking for another chance, you use words like 'bogus'. You're going to have hard going here unless you stop and reevaluate the way you talk to people.
 
i think we have a time barrier here, im 18 , i use the word bogus a million times a day, im not trying to offend anyone, im actually saying my actions were bogus.

Instead of continuing in this thread, why don't you go on out to the site and make interesting, supportive or courteously thoughtful responses and see what happens?
 
its easy to get a bad name but hard to lose it... Just an opinion but I think it comes easier for folks to notice ding the negative over the positive. Your not going to agree with everyone at all times but as long as you show the same respect that you want you'll be fine, good luck.

Not really...karma is pretty easily changed with an improved approach. Of course, it does take effort - those negatives aren't going to clear themselves.

Exactly.
