Alright, the mods and I are getting pretty sick of this, so here's the official warning.

The forum rules apply to the karma system too. That means you flame people via the karma system, you get banned. Period.

Spamming messages to people via the karma system is also not allowed. Now of course you can spam giving karma (go crazy with that +1 people if you want -- that's why it's there!), but using it to spam messages is what I'm talking about. For example, this:

LOAZ U IZ LEK DA FUNNIES BOI EVA - FROM xXx.xCUTIE4EVAx.xXx <3333

This is fair warning and you only have yourself to blame if you get temp-banned or even perm-banned.

Feel free to PM me if it happens again. I can see who gave you the karma and will take care of it.

Not to be rude, but isn't it our Karma to use as we like? Not saying we should spam tons of crap, but its like saying no flaming/spamming/etc. through PMs. Just a thought.

I dont get it, isn't it okay to leave any non abusive message?
Or do you mean, you have to leave a coherent message?
I get those sometimes like this today;
Today 17:25:25 +1 Paste here the Oddest Karma You Received LOAZ U IZ LEK DA FUNNIES BOI EVA - FROM xXx.xCUTIE4EVAx.xXx <3333

oh wait! thats the thing in your quote. Odd.

I just shrugg and go; whatever.

TMR has spam karmed me, if thats the standard, at least 30 times.

Odd. I told him the other day to stop it unless I deserved it because he was karmaing some bullshit post I had made.

Oh, I get it now.

There have been members of the forum who are using the karma to spam rather than to reward people for their posts.

Basically, they were being trolls.

I agree, unless the person is being abusive.
Me, I usualy look forward to passing out my ten.

I have a lot of karma, but its from a lot of different people, including many from our forums top liberals ( thats right biatches mutual respect ftw ).

This is mostly what this thread is about. We aren't gonna start banning people for useless karma messages, but we need a "look, it was said right here you can't do that" thing for those that abuse it.

Personally i think provided the Spamming karma is not offensive to the person receiving it, that spamming karma should be aloud, the first Spammed karma i got i joked about i found it funny, it was from Cutie4ever i didn't see any problem with it, i also think that many others find spammed karma funny but if it is offensive to u then you should be punished, i think losing all of your karma would be a very good punishment rather then temp or Perm bans.

What say you?
