Why? My karma has dropped from 22 to 10 in the last month. It seems every day I now get smited? I'm not doing anything worthy of being smited, so I ask those of you who are smiting this question: Why?

For alot of reasons. including supporting artifact in his ban suggestion thread, get moderator ship after begging for it in big bold text in the staff apps thread, and more...

You've got to be kidding me. Neither of those are something you can smite someone for, and I got my moderatorship for designing the badges and the halloween and Christmas stuff.

I remember that you posted PLEASE MAKE ME A MOD in the staff apps thread in big bold text before... and designing badges is hardly a reason to get moderator ship for two reasons 1. anybody with low graphical skills can make badges 2. swearing worth's badges are way better than yours and i don't think he was a mod

Swearingworth was nearly third in command, actually. If I remember correctly, he was high enough to edit the H/F and such...

And may I ask why this is in the Badges section?

Sorry, but you can smite someone for anything. The only rule is that you cant spam-smite/exalt

Veers told me to put it here.
And to nmagane: I know my badges can't hold a candle to swearingworth's, and that's because I was still relatively new to GIMP and had a relatively low idea to what I was doing. But, now we're not accepting badges now, but If we were, they'd be much better. And to the whole begging for a position thing, I'm relatively sure that was ... oh snap that was 4 days before I was promoted. I just realized how that might have caused some confusion....
EDIT: Oh, now I remember what I wanted to say about that. It was 6 freaking months ago! Why would people smite me 12 times for ONE post I made 6 freaking months ago!?!?

I agree with monokrome, I don't really care what OS/products people use, but when they act so rude about it ,I don't really like it. you seem pretty nice to me, but some of the things you say are kind of ridiculous and down right rude to me or something
also, i dont hate you

Oh, it might be partially due to you deleting posts just because it was disagreeing with your opinions on OS.

Okay, well seeing that some of you smite people for like a company more than another and expressing it, karma means absolutely nothing to me now. So I reduced it to 0. And it will stay at 0 forever. So suck on that.

You mean the ones in his board, where he is allowed to do so? In my board, I can remove posts that are the slightest bit off topic should I desire to do so (and which indeed I have done in the Intersecting Circles Problem thread)...

Thank you, Veers. I suspected that I had a right to do so, but then Qwerty got pissed of and I began to think otherwise.

Post by kuraikiba on Mar 4, 2011 1:26:13 GMT
We disagreed with your opinions, and you deleted the posts. That may not be against the rules, but it sure shows you are a jerk. Being a jerk generically lowers karma. Karma is based off the concept: "What goes around, comes around.". You were a jerk to us, we retaliated. Actions have consequence, so therefore, your karma meant everything.

Post by Rock on Mar 4, 2011 1:32:17 GMT
And now it means nothing. Speaking of which, I need to go remove the karma some blessed soul gave me.

Try not to be power abusive out of anger. In fact, don't do ANYTHING out of anger. Just look what it's done to poor old Tempy!

Post by Rock on Mar 4, 2011 1:58:25 GMT
How is that abusing power? I've realized that you people see my karma as a shooting range and have taken open fire, so I ended it. And what's happened to Qwerty?

Post by kuraikiba on Mar 4, 2011 2:05:42 GMT
You can blast your own karma if you want, we don't care. It's power abuse if you wreck anyone else's out of spite.

Ignore Kurai; he's playing the victim. I called him out on something the details of which are in my sig.
I have never smited you in my memory, nor do I hate you. You've given far too much to the forum to hate you. I just dislike the diamond block pedestal that you seem to have Apple on for no real reason.

Thank you too, Qwerty.

For alot of reasons. including supporting artifact in his ban suggestion thread, get moderator ship after begging for it in big bold text in the staff apps thread, and more... NOW you've gone to far! This kind of comments will only fuel my anti-troll campaign! I will continue on and i'll get you banned for this. I. Swear. It. Rock is a good Graphic Artist and you are just yealous cause he has more skills than you. Stop spam-smiting. Stop complaining. And most of all, stop trolling.

And there is a reason why I won Monokrome's contest, you know.And try to get me banned if you can, I didn't get banned on the forum from the begging of the NDBF, and won't get banned until the next forum is made...

Of course, were you to do that, we'd just raise his karma and lower yours. You know, two wrongs do not a right make. Or something.
As to Rock, he was hired out of the necessity for updating the badge board and doing other badge-related activities. Of what we look for in a potential staff member, trustworthiness and work ethic are amongst the top.

He goes call me 'kid' or 'scum' or post single worded posts but he never gets a warning. You just seem to ignore him. Or you don't care that he trolls other Members, as long as you don't get trolled, eh? Of course he doesn't. Then you would ban him. But you don't care about other victims.

I have never called you scum before, I call you a kid because you actually are one, Qwerty does read my posts, and there is absolutely no reason to flame me turn defensive all of the sudden.
