    Life isn’t what your parents and teachers taught you - there are definitely stupid ideas. Some of yall just need reminding…enter, downvotes

the suggestions forum is free karma tho. all you have to do is suggest something that will buff a majority of players playstyle and the sheep will upvote.

dont go overboard tho.

Except for controversial suggestions (like any LGBTQ+ topics usually), the current system seems to be working fine to be honest. In most cases it's pretty simple: reasonable suggestion with lots of thought out details = upvotes, unreasonable suggestion not even making an effort = downvotes.

The 'risk' of downvotes is there to keep people from suggesting every other idea they had during their last restroom break (even if karma doesn't have any real effect on gameplay). While in some cases players may downvote simply because they dislike the person behind the suggestion or due to their personal beliefs, I think this upvote/downvote system mostly does the job and doesn't need to be looked at.

I disagree with the premise that there are no bad ideas.

Generally people are far less likely to downvote something than they are to upvote (I believe due to the lack of anonymity in votes), if something in suggestions gets overwhelmingly negative votes then I think it is simply an outright bad idea.

Sure, it's always a good thing to want to improve the game, but if something isn't too well thought out generally it doesn't get all that much negative attention - it gets replies to say no/why it needs improvement and then dies off naturally.

The ones that are truly, truly, bad ideas are the ones that get the mass negative votes - such as the one that recently suggested players be able to DB other civilians to delete their account...

Karma doesn't really have much of a negative (or positive for that matter) effect on a player, best approach is to embrace the slight ego bruise and move on, and do better next time.

It’s not like karma can go into the negatives anyhow or that karma has any other value other than saying you talk a lot of shit on the forums and people think you’re funny or you’re an OG meme poster like myself and chit, You shouldn’t worry what downvotes from terrible ideas do to your karma but instead you should worry why you’re the only person to think that terrible idea is a good one

Only speaking for those who enjoy accumulating Karma. I'm little to nothing karma based so it wouldn't effect me too much.

"Karma doesn't really have much of a negative (or positive for that matter) effect on a player, best approach is to embrace the slight ego bruise and move on, and do better next time. start posting dank memes. "

Karma isn’t so bad now but it used to force people to post their cookie cutter shite in the forums cus it’s guaranteed gains, the community lap basic nonsense up. I’d rather not have it but I suppose it’s an added little mini game for karma whores


Peace

I don't know why I got so much, it just came from bullshitting here and being myself or posting what I thought was funny. Maybe stop trying so hard and stop worrying what other people think?

Or you could just keep doing stuff like this:

Own your own words and stop worrying about how others see them and then maybe people will start to respect or enjoy your thoughts and opinions.

Yeah, you got me. When I first joined I didn't treat it with respect and I got my ass handed to me with bounties. Although, you didn't have to call me out like that when I'm only trying to discuss a game mechanic. <3

Edit: I do suck with ideas

This isn't facebook. Make stupid posts and get down rated...

And by the way, karma is utterly pointles. It gains you nothing, other than another even pointless forum...

Don't believe the hype...
