Just Want to be Good :)Follow

So I've been posting here for some time... and I notice my "rating" oscillates between Decent and Good.

I suspect this has something to do with how "FFXIV" friendly my comments are, because every time I say something that can in any way be construed as negative towards the game, sure enough I find my rating bumped down to "decent."

Can anyone confirm how this is determined, and just WHO is determining this?

The exact mechanics have changed over time so I'm not certain what they are at the moment. A very simplified explanation is that your rating is an average of those up and down arrows you see. Any poster with pretty much a decent or higher rating may rate your posts.

The system is largely irrelevant. No one cares about it and barely anyone uses it. I've probably rated five or fewer posts within the last year, and they were probably spam ads. It's best for you to completely ignore it and not attach a ounce of self esteem to the system.

I'm pretty sure I've rated more posts than that this week, though they were probably almost all spam ads. The part about not attaching your self esteem to the system is probably still valid, though. Everyone knows self esteem is really based on postcount, anyway.

Well, no one strives for "decent" karma so why would you make a thread about it?

Karma thread? Karma thread.

Also, aside from the awesome color of your name, Karma means nothing. Aside from being a measure of your worth on the forums.

The internet, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this forum is the worst hell on Earth ... Karma. Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy ... So simple ... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without karma. So, as I terrorize Zam, I will feed it's people karma to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun." You can watch me torture an entire forum and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill AllaKhazam's destiny ... We will destroy Zam and then, when it is done and Zam is ashes, then you have my permission to die.
