to further re-iterate, *some* people claim to occasionally see a smite link. more likely is that people are using a back door - a script- to smite those they don't like. believe it or not, some people must actually view their karma level as some measure of popularity and when people start taking it away from them, i have to hear about it. i don't WANT to hear about it any more. No scripts or back doors...just errors loading the page and I can see the smite link. Joined: Dec 2010 Gender: Female Posts: 1,084 Karma: 63 [ Exalt | Smite ]

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Apologizing in advance, I had to chuckle when I saw this thread. On one of the boards I co-operated, we had the option for a similar process. We figured it would be nice for the posters to have. Yeah. It lasted two days and we decided it was outa there!

Ms. Moonbeam......was being smutted one of the reasons a few members quit?? I know the Karma number is the first thing checked by those who live and die by Karma to make their day I usually check the local "obituary" column in the SF Chronicle to see if my name is on their lists, and if NOT then it is another good day on borrowed time, I guess? .....

And if you look up and see grass... ...you need to mow your lawn? You'd most likely "see roots" from the other side......

like i said. we tried it. it was NOT fun for me, listening to people complain because they ended up with extremely negative karma. and when YOU are the one having to listen to it then YOU may make that decision. I say just take the function out. If people want to express that you have a good opinion, just state it in your post. Obviously it is giving you some stress. If people can't handle such a simple function or the fact of it being loss, then their opinion isn't reasonable or worth enough to hear(figuratively speaking) in the first place. I think you should post the whiners complaining about it too, so I can ignore them. Just saying.

Silly, Silly?? With all respect moon, silly to you maybe but just think a minute, unwarrented smolts, and no way to answer back?? Yes, silly....to me as well. Smite the hell out of me for all I care. I post to state my opinion which is based on my principles....not get the approval from somebody I don't know. I don't know any of you and I likely never will outside this forum. Why would I really care if you liked me? Personally, I wanted to have the lowest, but POM over on EE has a -42,389. I'd have a hard time catching that one.

I could help you, but I promised not to use my smite powers. Yes, smite appears for me. I didn't believe it really worked and smolted the hell out of moon to test it out. It works. Oops!

I still like the "exalt " Florida..I can give you a , but its a temporary fleeting expression of well done where as a "exalt " with you all your living days, in fact final total, a hammer a ,chisel, to the end of time. ;D

I just cannot see why you place an exalt from someone you've never met and likely will never meet in such high regards. Maybe you need to get out a little more often and meet some real people dezi....

You mean people really pay attention to that stuff? I don't have a smite button, and I don't mess with the karma button either. That is really silly. I consider these boards somewhere fun to come to and chat and express opinions. Not trying to make anybody mad or feel bad. I tell about my experiences and give some advice that people can take or leave. Just fun. And I like reading about others and their experiences too. Absolutely they do....Karma numbers are probably the most important thing in someone's life whose sole existence is this message board and post @ 40+ messages each and every day here for @ 10 - 12 hours a day....rather say really but what can you say?? Checkout the Wish List and read all the complaints because somebody lost a few Karma Points, and was so upset they were thinking of quiting and wanted to know who did that horrendous dirty deed to them and ruined their day... Well some of us are worried about the new Federal and State Income tax changes or trying to keep from losing more money in our small businesses this year and next with Liberal Demagogues making our lives a real challenge each and every day.. So what I am saying is that it is a matter or priorities, I guess?? Karma points and Smites are #1 Priorities for those whose whose lives center around the MSN Money Refugees Message Board so they can try to have a life and gain some new Cyberspace Friends or talk about themselves ad naueum and ad infintum, if that is your thing then good luck to you and your Karma..

Good point so it's important to keep them for those folks don't you agree...no sweat off any ones back..doesn't interfere for the heavy thinkers who are into the budget today, something else manana...no brainier to me..just keep and keep those folks happy, doesn't affect the rest of the crowd. If only all problems were so easily solved.

You got that right, PI. There are some real mental cases out there.
