Personally I think the whole Karma thing is broken, and any criticism about this thread just demonstrates that. But we have to live in the world we live in so...
My understanding of the whole purpose of Karma is to:
1. Reward people who contribute
2. Discourage lurkers who do not contribute
3. Protect our identity by raising the barrier of entry for people and search engines just a little bit.
4. Protect WG's identities by making it more difficult for their family and friends to stumble on their pics.
I guess it comes down to persuading people that this thread is a 'contribution'.
No we are not reviewing WG's in this thread, or posting pics of WG's that only the top echelon can view.
But we are encouraging new members, developing community. More importantly for the owners of this board, we are keeping more NEW USER eyeballs on this site, and off the competition.
This site is not very growth friendly. In a way that is good. It keeps growth manageable so you don't have huge flame wars with people who are just parachuting in to stir up the shit. On the other hand, you end up with a hierarchy where the people who have accumulated rank feel that they have some moral authority over other contributors. That their words count for more. Bullshit. Their boats just have more barnacles.
The only thing that I will cede is that sometimes people get K's for less substance here than elsewhere. But I have yet to see a good argument about why that is a bad thing.
Please don't K this. A's are fine. Maybe someone can neg K me one, so that nobody thinks I spend 20 mins banging out this response just to increment a stupid number on the screen! | |
