Well, this will be a thread about camping, so you have been warned. I'm sure noones going to care, and Im fairly sure that this too will get rated down. Let me take the opportunity to say I don't give a fu[/u]ck..

However, there is something I really do care about. See, it's one thing to tell me Im stupid, or you have a problem with something I've said.. It's another thing to play wit hthe pretty rate button and continue to do so with the express intent to drop my karma down without merit or provocation. Ask Smash, if I say something stupid I can live up to it. I might not even be petty and vengeful and rate you down just because you may or may not hurt my feelings. I have openly invited on occasions to have a discussion with camper(s) to no avail. So, here's my dilemna:

Do I write a "karma camping hurts my E-gina" thread or do I really speak my mind to you mods and simply say this is really annoying and it brings negative attention to otherwise harmless threads inviting more reate downs from otherwise harmless people? I'm not so sure anymore.. Anyways, it's getting old, and it's not even halfway obscure either.

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=110316255327113170&num=43

Whoever rated me down for saying (direct quote) "You left out Bst." This is my "camper". My posts continually get knocked to 2.10 on many many occasions on the FFXI board. The repition of this same score is a clear indicaor that it is the same sockpuppets or campers.

What do I want done about it? I don't care about having my karma fixed, I simply want to know who it is. They obviously know my name, and I feel it is right that I know the same. Thank you.

While I usually respond to posts like this with more ratedowns, I rated you up. I saw no reason for you to be rated down for anything you said in that thread. Rated you up in that thread as well. Merry Christmas!

Lefein, most of us have other jobs on top of Allakhazam, and kids or school etc. Just because it takes a day or so to get to you, you don't need to get your panties in a wad. Smiley: wink2

But I did notice one of your awful raters seems to have an awful rating addiction. Smiley: banghead Tomorrow AFTER work, I will talk to Alla or a programmer to see what we can do.

You can also e-mail us or use PM, as we don't make it a habit to hit this forum a million times a day. I usually hit this forum once a day, and now would be it, and now I am off to bed.

If the max influence a single person could have over your entire karma rating was 0.01 than it wouldn't matter if your karma was camped or not. It would probably up your overall karma from various people rating up your 2.ish posts seeing they are obviously not trolls.

Last time I suggested this I got a bunch of ratedowns :P

DarkFlame, thank you and I admit I was overly harsh. Thank you for doing something about it..

I must say, I was going to be far more pleased to have their names than any action taken on them. Im not really bothered by the karma as much as i am bothered with the balless anonymity that the campers have displayed. It's one thing to be a dumb camper, it's another thing to sit down and pee... and get away with it.

Merry Christmas everybody!

oh and bleach, the fact is I can try to give an informative or fun post and noone will read it because the thread is given a crappy rating before other people can read it or whatnot. It's like being made to look like crap for no reason.. Do you generally read threads with a 2.10 rating? Most people dont.

I do I do!!! But only because that usually means a flame war is contained inside and those are really amusing to watch.

Karma campers suck, and it's irritating because it's the equivalent to someone you can't see pegging you with spitballs.

It doesn't really hurt, and it doesn't do you any real harm, but it sure is irritating.

The only thing I can say is that your post count is so high no one is going to be able to effectively karma camp you to any degree, so it's probably best to ignore it as best you can. Sucks tho.

Someone different hun =\ And you got hit on this thread just for posting. Next time PM so your karma won't take the detrimental hits it will posting here.

If you drop below Scholar or something come running for sure, but at this point, you are A-ok.

Lefein, with over 6k posts, and your base of 3.21, you're ALOT more secure as a Scholar than some. If the hits aren't too bad, I definately wouldn't worry about it. I'm still going to rate you up when I see you *unfairly* being rated down.
