+ 4 Confused, Karma ?.

ad

I am not trying to start trouble here but I am curious. How in the world does someone who could be argued has not even completed a cycle, in less than two months end up with 61 Karma? I am confused..

Is Karma about experience or about popularity? Maybe both to some degree?

Hell, while I am at it I might as well also add that I think we are sending the wrong message to these young dudes by rewarding them for using AAS way before they ought to be. I know this has been discussed already but I figure if I am risking a good ole flaming I might as well throw that in as well.

Ya what’s up with karma? I’ve not been on in a long time and I haven’t gained any lol. Wow this is a blast from the past

I haven't been on the site in a few months. That said the first couple of post I read we're about karma. My thought is who gives a FUCK about karma. Fuck you and suck my dick. Down vote me up vote call me a bitch or whatever I don't care. Man up folks who cares. Karma points aren't bring home money and they sure as hell aren't helping me putting on muscle. So just my 2 cents. Fuck it I'm out!!

There’s a few old guys on here that still care. Guys that visit this site multiple times daily. Do you think about a 2K-3k total lifetime karma points seems like a lot. I posted a fart on Reddit yesterday and it has 20,000 points already. The Amount of grinding and bullshit you have to do for a couple free promos is not worth the time imo.

To answer your question: Yes, Karma is about experience and popularity...

It is based on a very scientific algorithm that even cry_havoc with his charts and graphs can't fully cypher. Einstein died before he could fully comprehend the formula.

...But just a second here while I pull out my slide rule... there we go... checking yours... carry the 2...

Yup, based on the result, you are neither experienced or popular. No use in arguing about this, science is science after all. ;-)

This was likely Greg and my first interaction. Lol

Little did we know we would end up as partners a year or so later.

LOL I wonder what your karma was at the time you posted this.

Most have probably forgotten that you deleted most or all of your karma at some point... now here you are about to lap me again on karma. Ah well, I've never been the cool kid.

I don't even know how to give Karma points. Can I even do that? I'm such a noob. I didn't realize it for a long time but there is a number attached to my screen name.

You can give a thumbs up, but it won't give that person a point until you reach level1 (50 points). Level 1, 2 & 3 are able to give 1 point at a time to a comment. Advanced (400-649 points) can give a +2. Expert (650+), Mods ,pro and Guru tags are able to give +3

What did you do to get whacked right away?

Damn right!... lately we deal with more karma issues than ever before, the ones that are constantly crying about karma (either high or low) instantly raises a red flag to me........ what clearly stands out is that higher karma members tend to respect the rules and treat other members with the respect they deserve in most cases.

TIP... be yourself and share your knowledge no matter how deep or shallow it may be... karma will follow you.... choose to share nothing!.. karma will be a pipe dream, take your choices.

Roger that. Well I feel a lot more informed.

they are imaginary points

Nitti's picture

True (and I agree) but they are also Eroids status symbols.
If they weren't, you wouldn't see so many posts about karma. People care about it. Especially when they make it a point to say they don't

Nitti's picture

I didn't ask you if you cared!

I would say if BFG wanted karma to be about experience he wouldn't allow the site to award karma points for posting gear pictures or self pictures regardless of what someone looks like or how long they have been training. For me I give karma to someone who helps me or inspires me but I also give it to encourage others as well. If I want to measure the rank of someones knowledge with aas then it is simple I will do my own research and cross check it until I am satisfied as every member should do. And if you can't do this because you are to you then you shouldn't be here anyways. There is a young man on here with a good amount of karma he does not even use aas he has only done one small cycle but he does bring a very up beat encouraging attitude to me he deserves his karma. If look at the real meaning of karma it is a determination of what you put out comes back to you whether good things or bad. Rank and knowledge have nothing to do with it at all. As far as this statement,

" I think we are sending the wrong message to these young dudes by rewarding them for using AAS"

How is this happening? You have to qualify such a statement with some facts. Bottom line is this this site works there is no other site on aas that is even close to this place. Where people can get more personal help,encouragement, and warnings about why they should not use. If there is another site that is better I have not found it.

Swinging Dick and Gift shop and pissing contest should never be used in the same statement... Just sayin..

Greg's picture

You've never seen Sarg on a night out have you?

ANBRO's picture

Nope.. he was nothing but a gentleman the night I went out with him Blum 3

kodiakGRRL's picture

that wasn't sarge, that was his alter ego ...

ANBRO's picture

I have a feeling he paid that guy!

Greg's picture

Always a ladies man... different story when he's out with the guys.

Karma is tricky! It goes both ways for sure. It used to be a lot different here. I don't know if you remember "COOL" "FUNNY" posts were also bumped? Not just helpful or pics. But, with that said. Comments like "LOL" or HELL YEAH" should not be bumped and if they are, they'll get fixed if they are brought to our attention. As for pics, well some of it is just ppl being nice, some is hard work showing and earned. Some is just because someone may be attractive, but do you have a better idea for how karma should work? Should ppl not get points for posting pics of their progress? Or sharing info on a source in a pic? It's a double edged sword. Imho, ppl who mention it all the time saying things like "I don't care about karma" seem to be the most concerned. I say Who gives a shit? Share, learn, grow! Thats what this site is about!
