i'm concerned new members are getting a flaming from people via the karma system.
I have notice loads of guys getting 4+ red karma blocks after posting less than 10 posts?, ok some of this is due to the spelling etc. But most of it isn't, like a few posts back theres a guy asking about a derby gp 50 and an rs50, now hes made 6 posts!!! with out a single curse word, and very minor mistakes with his spelling etc, so why does he have 4 red blocks??
I think certain members need to remember that nobody starts off knowing everything about bikes....and there for needs to ask questions.
basically, give the newbies a chance, i've seen atleast 5 in the past 2 weeks that have received so much bad karma i cant even view there posts, and for no good reason.
so come on peeps use you loafs. ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

Thanks for the good words about the new people Craig.
Although I've managed to gain good karma, I have asked some pretty basic questions so far, and no doubt will continue to do so for a little while yet.
I haven't actually rated any posts myself and don't really feel the need to either. But that's just me! ____________________ Colin McRae MBE 1968 - 2007 RIP

I do the same as you Hex. If I think it deserves a rating I'll rate it. I won't simply plough through a thread and rate everything. ____________________ Current bike: VTR1000F Firestorm. Previous: Firestorm (written off) - XJ600 Divvy - NSR125 - DT125 and a load of offroaders. |

Some good points raised on both sides but maybe the Karma should be kept neutral until a week after their first post.
Maybe they still get the rating but with "learner tips" or a post by post personal report and their Karma's reset after a week so they can still post!
Obviously the mods could still rate newbie's or ban them...but maybe that's all just making things far too complex for a system that's meant to tidy things up amongst other things.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 20 years, 55 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
