I'm seeing a weird problem. The following thread, right now, has 50 posts on it. But if you click on page 2, you get a weird blank list page.

Don't know if you'll see it in time before someone replies...

I'm curious, how many scholar+'s actually rate posts up compared to how many rate them down? I have spent a week trying to be helpful over on the tradeskill forum, posting links and such when people ask and I never got a single rate up, I'm trying to get scholar so I can help moderate because I don't have much else to do at work.

Then I made a post today, was just trying to be helpful, and I check back 10 minutes later and I've been rated down to 2.32, drawing my karma down to 2.95, at this rate I'm pretty sure I'll never get above 3 and get scholar.

I paid for a year's membership for the exclusive purpose of getting karma and trying to post helpful posts, getting rated up, and helping to monitor the forums to an extent, but instead I find myself rated down randomly and it just seems to snowball.

Is there something I'm missing? Do any of the scholars rate up helpful posts, or do they just rate down things they don't like and rate up other scholars? I see scholars making snippy sarcastic, very mean responses to people and not suffering any penalties, and when someone works hard like me to help the forums, I get rated down so that I won't get scholar.

Well this will probably be rated down as well, great talking to you all :-(

I rate posts up and down. I try to follow the rules of:
-Well written and informative posts, rate up.
-Off topic and insulting posts, rate down.

And, unlike most people, I rate people up even if they disagree with me if they make a good point.

Welll...you posted this like 3 days ago and now you are a sage!! I'm jealous, I've been trying to get that last .02 karma so I can have a red name. :( It looks like you don't have to worry about low karma anymore!

The karma system here is a great thing for booting repeatedly offensive posters off the boards, but the system is abused by people who don't understand it.

I call foul on this Xdun guy. He's here three days ago whining about karma, and now he's a Guru? I don't really worry about karma, but this crap bugs me. Each new post of his by some miracle has a 5.00 rating, even when he doesn't say much. It's one thing to get a good rating when you say something positive and constructive which I've certainly seen from Xdun, but posts being 5.00 mere minutes after posting for not saying much at all? Come on.

It's not the karma system that's broken. It's people like Xdun and his sockpuppets that abuse it.

If some admin comes in and shoots me down, I'll gladly pony up an apology. At this point, I'm pretty confident in what I believe.

Any fields left blank are essentially considered a wildcard; they aren't included in the search, so leaving out a name matches any name, and so on.

However, when I went to test this I did find a bug in the lookup. I should have it fixed shortly.

--edit--

It should display results now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

servers got bogged down and started cacheing threads the wrong way. it happens occasionally.

people bumping old threads for no reason pisses other people off. Perhaps they are trying to tell you not to do that?

i really like the way this forum is setup ^_^

I'm wondering how I can give myself a title.

i was wondering, besides your numbers dropping/rising if your carma is rated, how can you tell if the numbers dont move?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but i'm too tired to read through the entire post (it's 3.00am here despite what the timer says). My question is, How do you give your self a title like 'eater of souls'? thanks for your help.

Easy question for everyone just don't know if there is an easy answer, how can I check all my post I have placed on this site. I answer allot of question and ask allot and than forget what threads I was on. Is there a link I may check all my posts or do I just need to write them all down, thanks to all.
