I was never one to really pay attention to the karma system.

Pretty wild thought that I must have been so high in positive karma that the suspension didn't put me in the red. Not that it would matter much if it did because I think red is a pretty cool color.

Point is....that all it is.....colors. Guess you have to offer members something for the price of admission.

Rich has suspended the ability to give negative karma which includes when someone comes back from a suspension.
 
I don't know about that, Alan - not allowing members to give negative is not the same as automatically removing it with a suspension.
Chuck's karma took a hit, I'm sure - it says he is at 350-449, now (by mouse over)
 
is it possible to only remove suspended users ability to use that part of the system and give bad karma? and allow the rest of us, as silly as the karma system is ( but i still love it, and it makes me happy to be able to use it bad and good) who respect it enough to still continue to use it?

Thanks Jim! I see what you mean about missing the fun. The poor fella is probably still licking himself and howling under the bed. Man did he get TAGGED! heh heh.

No, the warning point "nuke" was not removed from the penalty slap of being suspended. I have removed my own capability of handing out negative karma as well, however, I can go into the admin page and make any adjustments necessary to neutralize someone abusing the system even with positive only points.

Not without custom programming, which I don't foresee happening....
