Okay, well, first - THE BLUE asked to have their account deleted fyi.
Um, on the topic as a whole...
Karma doesn't do anything - you don't get anything for having a lot of it or get penalized for having none. It's just a fun thing. But it really makes no difference, so there's no real reason to put a lot of stock into what your karma is. I couldn't make a guess as to what mine is right now. And frankly, I don't care lol.
I *think* I can make it so that individually you can turn off karma viewing, if people really want that option. But I never really thought it was that big of a deal...
It's not an option to block "ignored" people from giving you karma, and it's not worth my time trying to code it. People who can't treat others with respect here are not welcome, so if you need to use an ignore list then you should be bringing the issues to the staff so that you don't need to use it.
I would just like to encourage people that when you use negative rep, to give a reason, and not just do it to get back at someone or similar.
But your karma number is going to be the same if the comments are viewable or not - and I think that if you can't have the courage of your convictions to be able to stand behind what you wrote - when others can see it - then in your heart you know you aren't doing the right thing.
