Thanks for the replies and +a's. Is there a rule somewhere that doesn't allow a user to give out k's randomly - or can I give out k's to posts not related to mongering?
Since i'm posting, i might as well give my view on the matter.... I've posted in the ICT only twice or so because I had no idea what the conversation was going on about and I don't like to be seen as a 'karma' whore. I try very hard not to spam/flood the forums with useless posts - when I post I try to contribute, even though my motivation comes from wanting k's.
Around 30% of my karma comes from my 3 reports (where one has gone to hell and also probably getting me punished). The majority of the k's comes from conversations in threads / whoring myself in the mongering section over daily participation in the forums in the span of 6+ weeks . If I was to solely rely on the report section, it'd probably take me 10+ quality reports with decent pictures to make it to MM.
I'm a casual monger, maybe at best once a month yet I love these forums. Sometimes I don't manage to get a picture and thus - I don't bother writing a long report since reports without pics usually just grants you a couple of k's.
Is it frowned upon to post a lot even though you don't have a lot of reports? I mean I'm MM with only 3 reports - even I myself feel odd about it.
Rant: Not that this would be taken account from a new member, but I would suggest to see more k's being given out by members... If someone writes a good post, you see people rewarding them a few k's sometimes, sometimes none. If it's "encouraged" to reward "good" posts with more k's, I personally would post less, but make better posts.
Of course if it is the community's traditional intention to make k's incredibly hard to obtain for the "well-being of WGs", then trash my suggestion.
