Karma up and down

Hey, I've been thinking that, when you edit your posts, does this make your Karma go down? What if you was just adding something? Or perhaps correcting a mistake? Also, does putting several posts one after the other do anything bad for Karma? I know there's a little time limit but just wondering. Oh, and yes, I have read the article about Karma (https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=21812) but it doesn't answer my questions. Further more, if edit it before someone else has posted, or after, does this make a difference?

I'll give you another chance to rate my posts as redundant, abusive or what ever yams, but I'm not moaning, I was asking a question, several at that.

I was wondering the same thing Enrique, I must have edited a post from last week about 10 times. Laughing

Ok, maybe I should explain *looks for the topic*

Ahh... here it is Yams https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=239667&highlight=#239667

You as well as several people rated my responses as being abusive and redundant. Off topic yes, but not the formers. What's done is done I guess.

Anyway, does anyone know the answers?

Whenever you edit a post most of the original effects it had on your karma (bar some of the very bad ones) are removed and re-calculated based on the edited version of the post.

In summary... don't worry about it! Karma

Your karma level doesn't have any effect unless you manage to make it red (or black Laughing

) so as long as you don't do that then you'll have no problems at all. Don't know the answers to your questions, would expect that it won't affect your karma to edit a post (well, assuming you don't edit it and fill it with spelling errors). Nothing wrong with adding something or changing something in one of your posts, as long as what your changing or adding doesn't wind the karma system up. So I would say yes it can and does if needed change your karma, but would expect only in the normal and expected ways.

I'd say yes it was abusive and redundant. Your post was not needed or called for at all, you posted basically saying fuck off, to a sensible and well written post, which was not in the wrong section or anything so was no need for you to post that, and the moderators agree with this as they have not revoked the ratings given to you post. Just need to engage brain and have a bit of a think about why the ratings were used, but it's quite clear and sensible.

Yes it is because they disagree. But if I were to rate your post there as spam, that rating would be removed as it's not at all correct. From what I've seen, the moderators don't revoke ratings very often, just whenever needed which isn't that often as most of the time people have the common sense to use the correct rating. And when the ratings are revoked, it is pretty much because the rating doesn't have anything to do with the raters opinion of the post, it is to do normally with their opinion of the person that wrote the post that they are rating so is uncalled for and wrong. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen from time to time, and the moderators are there to remove it when it does happen.

Super 'Busa, you'll soon learn to give a flying fuck when the karma system sits on you, as keep posting crap posts like that and people will rate them, and then the karma system will take a disliking to you.

Don't annoy the karma system, as otherwise you leave yourself open to have it point a few things out to you. The more you annoy it the more it will point out and make you do, and annoy it to much and it'll point the exit of this site out to you, and make you use it.

Well, they're written as acuratly as possible, and there havn't been any cases of someone saying they don't understand what they mean. And spam is spam, be it spamming something of interest or not, it's still spam so would be rated as such.
