karma system fucked me in the arse

Why does the karma system make such massive fuck ups? I was marking legitimate spam posts only for the karma system to revoke them.

Does that mean that it's pointless marking spam? Spammers are free to cover the forum in whatever shit they want as long as they do it fast enough that moderators don't sort it, as you can't mark multiple posts as spam?

It's quite ridiculous, that if the moderators can't be arsed to clean up spam posts, we can't mark multiple posts as spam.

Never seen it do that before, is it a new feature?

Best guess would be it's to stop people being targeted by one person, so if no one else marks that post as spam within a given time frame, it gets revoked if you've marked more than say 10 of the same person's posts as spam?

There are multiple users who had marked it as spam, lots have been revoked too.

So it's a case of if the moderators can't be arsed going through, self-moderation by the user group to prevent spam is flawed.

Stop giving negative Karma out all the time. Job done.

If you were systematically giving many posts Spam ratings, I think this is then highlighted that you are acting like a spam bot and ratings will be revoked.

Also, it may be that someone has asked for permission and the negative ratings have been taken away because of this.

I've already PM'ed G about it, waiting to hear back from him. He's already said he's going to delete the scumsack's crap and ban him.

Spam account has been nuked.

I'm pretty sure this will reset the karma system to where it was before. Or it might not. Who knows.

Looks like not. Revoking the revokes might fix it.

The revoked karma has disappeared but not restored the users karma.

Not a massive issue for mine in truth, but Mark_F had his Karma totally nuked by the revocations.

He can't even post, as the revokes karma banned him so that will still need fixing.

Am able to post again (for) now..

Thanks for the post Phil, and Korn, and Stinky, G, Wizzz and whoever else tried to help!

I've been a tad busy the last couple of weeks, so not really had the time to look into stuff myself, but, for a start...
