^Seriously though, Dub is right... In the Rules it says that abusing the Karma system is a bannable offense.

http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum/thread/5141780?page=last#48031706
^Now I don't know about you moderation, but this is just one example of the relevant point Dub was trying to make. (See my comment receiving a downvote)

If there are users going around -1ing every comment made by a certain user or users, action should be taken.

Luckily for me the only people downvoting my comments are butthurt scrubs who i killed weeks ago,
but for others, they may take the downvote to heart and truly resent the forum, thus producing EVEN MORE forum inactivity...

All I'm saying is you have a rule, enforce it.

The more they down vote the less karma they have though. So they can go around and -1 all day but the effect is pretty much nothing.

Why are you guys so obsessed with this Karma thing? It's kinda sad and laughable at the same time.

It was established a long time ago at GLB1 people are logging on with multis and downvoting posts to get around that.

Not obsessed with it, just hate having legit posts censored by one guy with 15 multis just because he doesn't like the person that made the post. It's not about applause or smites, it's about posts getting collapsed for no reason other than someone wanting to act like a dick. As I stated in the suggestion I posted, we have an ignore feature now which makes the karma system unneeded.

Yeah I know the feeling, your buddy Prokop seems to down vote every post I make, but if I learned anything from inromowetrust, mods can unlock them and delete every vote in the thread if they feel like it, or asked to. The Karma thing is a joke, they should get rid of it, but I don't really care about it, and don't use it.

Which is why I requested that Lead Moderators be able to look at who is voting in the karma system. But that didn't receive much traction.

So who can see?

Admins?

I'm not going to go into details but I suspect a certain group will get bored one day and log on here and collapse every post (or at least op) in the main forums. Hope not, but given the fact they've done it at GLB1 a few times in FFA and GD I almost expect it to happen here. Obviously they can wreak more havoc here.

That's why I thought it was rather stupid for the devs to set up the karma system here. They tried it at GLB1 and apparently they chose to ignore how it's been abused over there.

You suspect?

Idiots downvote every post they see by a particular agent already...

No need to speculate Dub, abuse is happening right before everyones eyes,

moderation is witnessing this on the daily, but since it doesn't involve flex I guess I guess nothing will happen,
and Administration will turn the cheek.

I like the Karma system, but it needs tweaking. Especially in the suggestions forum. I don't mind bad posts being hidden, as it means that there is less to do for our already overworked Mods.

BUT, I don't like how a thread can be locked due to votes. Only mods should be able to lock them.

I'm not talking about someone with multis hitting one specific poster. I'm talking about a full on invasion from another site.

One thing that really baffles me is why this feature is even available in game recaps and the FAQ forum.
