Yeah, after a shitty flower runner made a bug report which got closed by a staffer: "no, those karma jump isn't from travel thread". Then after bogie confirmed that it must have come from travel thread, they worked on it.
Im guessing the 0 karmas are because ched realises those involved are just spamming the place up and not actually saying anything when they post on the forums?
Mindless and endless spam and gibberish has been 'rewarded' with 0 karma?
It should be like that. If you dont have anything to say then say nothing at all.
That's fair enough, the same could be said about other faction recruiting and trading posts too though. Suppose it's just easier to eliminate the biggest problems.
