Karma inflation... How to fix it???

[Big Rick Rock]

wtf?


seriously, why does it matter to adm? Its not like you pay for it so we can have it or its in restricted and numbered amounts and cant be provided anymore

I don't care about how much Karma anybody has. I just think the rate at which new Karma is being introduced into the system is ridiculous. I think even some of the guys who have Millions, would realize their existing Karma would gain a perceive value if we were to slow down the rate at which new Karma is generated...

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.

BRR see my revised formula above, it works better.

we still value it a lot. Most of us dont even go spend it on bombs or difusers cause we see it precious. Do you think there will be problems if a member has a billion karma points? If so, what kind of problems? With the mods? Give the mods more K then.

I still want to know why does it matter how much karma we have or how big is our hit. Karma, those green dots and those crowns do not cost anything and are not in limited numbers

We are actually playing around with the idea of maybe developing a whole ekarmanic system in the next version of vBulletin 4.0... A sort of Karmic economy system.

Using my karma adjusting formula:

the Big Baboon would have:

5,803/889*100 or 652 Karma Points

I think it works.

Errr, BRR, you guys have already been charging for the green for some time now and have made a decent amount I would imagine. Don't really think it would be fair to screw around with it once you've had people throw down real cash.

Seeing the lengths people now go to whore Karma... Adding Post count to the mix would just increase the already rampant post whoring....

require 25 words or something in karma msgs or something like that. I know i hate filling those out for the most part unless its e flirting, so that would cut down on the amount of karma i sent.

Using my new proposed formula:

Have your programmer, plot the distribution of all EF's current Karma and then my adjusted Karma formula values, you will see it is shifted downward in a fair fashion.

Trust me here BRR, I will win the Noball prize for this.
