[Devastation]

no I wouldent have and youre right thasaunds maby even millouns of post wouldent be made.then this place would be fucken boreing I would leave and many would follow.no one wants to come to a place that boreing and by stoping people from posting wich is fun you make it boring.I wasent post horeing when I made that post I was just simply haveing fun makeing a post to amuse myself.would you rather i be bourd and just say fuck it this place sucks because i cant make a post and leave takeing my money with me.

how many of the members of elitefitness REALLY care about karma? 1%? 1/2 of 1%? or is it more like 1/100 of 1%? this isn't a board to collect karma, and many here don't care. so what you are saying is that the board wouldn't go on because of 60 people not posting to save their karma? would you stop posting 38.71 brilliant posts a day because of it?

the slower rate of growth is what they're looking for, not to change who the current leaders are. so what you offered doesn't solve anything AT ALL, does it?

shore it dos it brings the k horeing to a skreeching holt dont it.no more hitting the big guy so you can get the big hit back.
stops the k horeing game all togather.brings it back to the way it was ment to be only giveing some one k if you realy like there post.

as it is to most (98.2%?) here.

ps supposedly karma has been purchased 3387 times from about 116,000 members. does this tell you how important karma is to the MASSES?

well i bet even with doing youre way hammy will have a billon k in lest say no less then 3 months.yes it would slow it down a bit but before long the karma snow ball would start rolling again pic up speed and we would all be right back in the same place we started.it wouldent take long for the tax to have no effect on horeing at all.

my whay completly stops the k horing all togather and in a short wile it would level out all the k people have. makeing k worth some thing again.wich i think is what they are reely trying to do.

Firstly, to those who look at the Karma leaderboard and think in terms of "the haves" and the "have nots", it took me around six months to go from near to zero to getting onto the leaderboard. If you want to have higher Karma, go get some. Participate in the site more, with posts to educate, inform and entertain, especially in C&C and Karma will flow into your coffers. Take some judicious risks in the Bookie forum. Like in life with cash. Do something about it if you really want the stuff.

The main thing we need to keep going is to encourage or, at least, not to deter Karma giving. It's a joy to receive Karma. Anything which deters giving Karma is probably a bad thing. Karma is a convenient way to comment on someone's post or to give a 'thanks' or 'congrats' or even a flirt or high-five. The passing around of Karma forms tranisent bonds between posters. Fleeting though they be, each receipt of Karma is a little mental reward for visiting EF.

Regarding inflation, to halt inflation you need to find ways to take Karma out of the system as fast as it comes into the system. I think most would like to see more things in the shop to spend their K on although the trouble there is that some of us value holding onto it as we chase down the next person on the list.

We could do with more Bookie events such as lotteries. Real-world lotteries have a pitiful payout but the lure is too much to resist for many. Too few people participate in the Bookie forum.

I've had thoughts of Karma erosion before but I think they're too harsh. You want people to give their Karma back to you via various routes, not have it taken away. I guess another version of the Formula is in the offing.

1. It's just a game.

B. Some people play games to win.

III. Karma Bookie has played a significant role in inflation.

d. Mess with the formula or the totals too much and you'll have a revolt on your hands.

5. Once George put a dollar value on karma, your hands were tied. You can't take away, or devalue, something that you have sold to your customers.

right on.

so the only thing to do BRR is to change the hitting to slow it down. make it where you can only hit the same person once a week.
