Karma System.

[costargh]

Does any of the moderators know what happened to Odette? For the Business Management and Further students I would have thought that she would have been a great asset for FSN. So was she kicked out or leave on her on free will? Its a shame. If anyone has her msn please PM it to me so I can stay in contact with her

She left of her own accord. 'Tis a shame, but oh well.

[Fyrefly]

I think she recieved some nasty random smiting, which was really rough considering how much of an asset she was/is to this forum. I have a feeling some of my smitings may have been random too, but mayb some ppl just hate me...

I'm curious... If I am to smite some1 (certainly only if they deserve it), won't they now be able to retaliate and smite me for no reason?

[costargh]

Yeh that seems to be the general occurance.
I think Positive karma should be viewable but negative karma private because at least you know whos happy with your posts

I think she and rustic_metal were obviously over-sensitive. So what if people smite them? It doesn't justify leaving the forum, not in my mind at least.

Odette was a good asset and it's sad to see her gone.

Or disable the whole system all together? Unless it's used responsibly, it serves no useful purpose.

An accounting joke! *RUN*  

Yeah.. I should in fact have no bad karma XD 1 was a maxleng random smiting, the other was an error by kingtooth, who balanced it out with an applaud. It is good to know where my karma's come from, and that it appears I haven't upset any1. However, when I had no idea what I'd done to receive my 1st smiting, I felt horrible and wondered who I'd upset. I can easily  empathise with our lost members, and I see how this new karma system can sometimes be hurtful and leave the recipient of bad karma feeling unwanted.

Hahaha, I know all too well about these internal politics...

Lol, you guys don't know what occured with Odette?

For me, the chat log only tells us that Odette mistakingly thought she was 'one of the hated ones'. She's obviously a very over-sensitive type - negative 9 karma and she thinks people hate her.

  I contend that  reasons made public = increased accountability - you wouldn't be able to slag someone off relentlessly or for no reason without the whole community seeing. I'm not too fussed, though.

An extract of the chat log: (I hope its ok odette lol, *i hope*)
