I assumption being when one writs his thoughts and doth process them through the ayre in the style of a 17th century diarist, that the assortment of footmen, beggars, papists, pickpockets and others of under the stairs, which know not of the true language, should not be put in such a position.

Blame it on the bent system, where one neg hits you for *100* while one pos gives you *0.001*. None of which serves the slightest possible purpose other than to get rid of spammers, something the mods should be able to do themselves, and idle entertainment. It's a complete and utter farce of an idea. Rolling Eyes

How in the name of FUCK have you managed 4 gold blobs in the current climate? I shit this shit. I can't even rate posts anymore whilst, quite frankly, a sex pest is on 4 gold. It's one rule for the on line stalkers and another for the rest of us. Pull the ladder up, Jack. Bah.

To let you in on a 'secret'...Korn manipulates the settings to ensure certain people never gain karma from positive ratings but get the full effect of negative ones. That's on top of the system already being hopelessly bent (massive imbalance between pos and neg ratings).

In addition you have G who subverts the system by moving threads around, which seriously impacts the blobs. He's very particular about who he does it to of course and it's as snide as his treatment of bogus ratings.

All of which amounts to a fascinating insight into certain personalities here at BCF. If it mattered. Society in microcosm, cheap entertainment on a slow night/day.

Might seem like a facile question, but are you running an adblocker? If the effects of that are as cumulative as I think, then that'd take your karma down very fast.

Right-click the last one and select properties, each stage has a number up to 9.

You could always just go talk about bikes for a bit to balance things out, and the blobs would turn up. Grossly unfair requirement for an arbitrary points-score system on a bike forum, I know, but that's my sick sense of humour for you...

Or just take a leaf out of Siggi's book. He's so not bothered about it he barely even mentions it.

Or you could make pos ratings count as much as neg ratings. You know, to reflect the positive opinions of the actual members instead of rewarding nothing but hate.

Novel concept I guess.

I'm confused what makes you think there's such a difference? There really isn't... I'm not going to reveal the actual weights but the "worst" rating is worth almost the same in -karma as the "best" is in +karma. This only varies by who gives you the rating, so a negative from somebody with very high karma counts for more than a positive from somebody with very little (as well it should) and the same the other way around.

So sayeth the lord! Laughing

The only exception is if you give Korn a neg rating. If you should do so you find your gold blobbage reduced to red in an instant and a distant laughter is heard as Korn rides off into the sunrise.

See. Cov gave Korn a neg rating once and this happened. He's also suffered tourrets as a direct result.

You may believe that, you might be talking BS...if you do believe it you're demonstrably wrong. During my year or so of amusing myself with the system I saw very clearly how a few neg ratings impacted the blobs and how numerous pos ones did SFA. From both low blobbers and high blobbers. But considering how you didn't spot the system was broken before, until a whiny grass alerted you, you might just as well be unaware it's broken now. Unless you're just talking BS. That and you set the system to discriminate against certain members. Fact is that you're the one who cares most about it, though god only can imagine why. To actually have patched it when you found out people were subverting it...oh my god! Laughing Laughing Laughing WHY?! What, exactly, does the system achieve?! Please, explain it's purpose! Laughing And before you try to console yourself, again, with fond delusions that I give a fuck about it...profanity and zero posts in the workshop. That's right...if I gave a fuck I'd post regularly in there and I'd do the old fvck and cnut (or post images instead of words). It was entertainment for a while. Wink

Doesn't mean it shouldn't have integrity though. And currently it has fuckall.

Chances are the ratings are on an exponential scale so it will be quicker going down than going up, even when they are worth the same amount.

I'd like you to fuck BCF off (as I'm sure everyone would), and go enjoy your immature status updates over on 125ccSB, people like you are the reason I stopped visiting there.

Least it's coming back round for you in the end Hazza. Thumbs Up

Still reckon we would be well served with Review and Stolen sub-sections alongside Show & Tell Korn.
(Unless there's any legal reasons not to there's no drawback; might even be productive in the ad-revenue scheme of things?)

Think that would make this site complete, actually. Thinking

Again agreed. A stolen section to itself would be great, I know The Tot has done review threads in the past, but having a section for them all to be together would be good.
