• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Can't give karma...

Are you spreading the karma attempts around to different members OR are trying to give karma to the same person too frequently?
 
I have Ad Blocker and I am currently having no issues with giving karma.
 
If there are no ad blockers involved, in the past I've noticed that Fauna let me keep my coins despite having an expired contributor account. I didn't realize my contributor account had expired until my inbox yelled at me for being overloaded. You won't be able to give karma (at least I don't think) if your coins are expired. Also, karma never seems to work on the Firefox Android application for some reason. I don't use Tapatalk so maybe that's why?
 
All registered members, whether Contributor level and above or not, can utilize the karma system. But only Contributor level members and above can leave NEGATIVE karma for someone else and see a name associated with what comments someone else may have attached to the karma (positive or negative) someone applied to them.
 
Ah, thanks for the clarification, Rich. I've been a paying member for so long I have forgotten what's enabled for non-paying accounts.
 
Heck, I had to check on it myself, as I just can't remember details for stuff I set up years ago. Plus sometimes I just change things on the fly now and again. :)
