missing over 400 karma?

I used to have about 800 karma... all the sudden I have about 400. Did some update occur recently?

EDIT: the answer lies http://www.torn.com/committee.php#/step=view&ID=73

Mines gone down 200 in the last hour or so

hmm... maybe they shut down the flower thread?

Same here! I lost about 10-12 karma... No big deal, t's probably just my tiny contribution to the flower thread, but somehow I noticed...

Did flower runners get screwed over?

I'd say that's it...I was looking at a few people who got a load from the flower thread and they've lost 100's and 100's....maybe it includes the 'Fun and Games' as well...?
..I didn't realise I'd got 200 kama from the flower one though..oh well, easy come easy go I guess

Yeah, we 'lost' all that Flower thread circle jerk karma....but I wouldn't say i got screwed. More like what never should have been was removed.

I mean we all saw this coming didn't we.. Ok one could argue that the posts were actually usefull to, but the amount of karma skewing it did was abnormaly high..

Karmageddon

Yup, Karma just isn't what it used to be. :)

Last entry in Jamesbond's karma top100: BadDutchie [1740595] was about 1005 or 1006 karma, according to the data there...
But today *drummrrroooolllll* only 9 karma... N-I-N-E! [:hushed:] That's what I'd call a near-reset!

I expect a rage-quit...

rage-quit for karma-forum? Must be really nice place

I suspect most of them didn't care about karma in the first place. It has no rewards, provides you no advantages, it was just Ched trying to encourage people with naught else to do to use the forums in their spare time by giving them a pat on the back.

If Travel Run didn't encourage people to post on the forums I doubt the practice would have started to begin with.

Can you list the actual use for karma? Outside of getting 100 to get a response to a suggestion, there is none. Having a high karma score doesn't mean you post things worth reading all the time, having a low one doesn't mean you aren't an outstanding poster.

Life moves on, if they really care then it just means the forums will lose people who would have maybe read other topics and contributed elsewhere.

-KC lost about 6k karma... He's down to 20 now....

I didn't lose a lot of Karma

so yay I guess?

While I agree that a Karma score is basically useless to me...I will say that sometimes I will 'like' a response to a comment or question I posted only so the person who replied can at least see that I was aware of their reply. But that's really trivial to say the least.

You sent $500,000 to Mudbottom with the message: That was a very nice post

There ya go [:dizzy:]

Damn Sam!! This reply certainly requires a further post...THANKS! Will be sure to use that to support my xtc habit.

does anyone read the bulletin board lol, its KARMAGEDDON!!!!!

I totally agree, I will also "like" a post that I think is really good, but that is about the extent that I go with karma.

When the forums first moved to the karma scores I decided at that point I would never downvote a post, I didn't want to get involved in the drama that follows the heavy karma involvement. And so far it has worked out pretty well for me.
