  June 04, 2008 at 07:34 daynah asks what does karma allow you to do besides change your character and title?
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:35 thunderror says it allows access to more smileys as well...

  June 04, 2008 at 07:35 ThinkingSerious says there should be some reverse Karma action going on for stupid behaviour.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:35 abarrera says it's a way to know who's fault is when plurk goes down
•

  June 04, 2008 at 07:37 the JoshMeister thinks karma is a brilliant way to get people hooked & to gain users, while simultaneously encouraging people to post lameness to "level up" (bad)
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:37 tjgillies says heh "level up"
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:38 thunderror says nice way of putting it...level up...hah..
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:38 the JoshMeister thinks it's a good thing for Plurk while it's in its infancy, but like scobleizer says it sucks that it encourages gaming and lameness
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 07:55 thunderror says 2000 seems to be tough considering that the lead developer is at 75...
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 08:01 daynah thinks there's definitely needs to be more incentives for karma points!
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 08:03 Fred thinks karma will help have a community, and the community is stronger then failures... loiclemeur get out of my body !
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 08:27 matstace asks just how many plurks/plurk responses will be along the lines of "karma++"
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 12:21 saint_ethique thinks all alway's depends of the user ..
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 12:55 nightsky wishes it would've been called something other than karma. The term karma has been thrown around a lot lately.
• 
  June 04, 2008 at 12:59 sonnygill thinks if you offer a prize for higher karma, that's gonna ruin the whole system.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:17 Beth Harte says that the point of Karma and, uh, social media, is to converse. You, scobleizer, never talk back...
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:18 Beth Harte thinks you should chat with us geeks.

  June 12, 2008 at 01:23 Ourfounder says gaming is Web 2.0
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:23 snosnap thinks it is what it is. just here to interact, not care about a measure. get enough measurement at work.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:31 bruceturner wishes for the options to hide my own karma and flambe dancing bananas.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:33 Ourfounder says how much would you work for the karma to do exactly that?
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:34 TheDreamer says it is killing my interest, since my karma is going down now....perhaps I should get all depressed and go away.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:37 Ourfounder says karma is like an annoying tamugochi. You have to slave to plurk in order to maintain it.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:37 bruceturner says ourfounder - hilarious. Whatever it takes, man I do wonder whether karma is a barrier to entry for those who would otherwise participate
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:39 BryanLAS I'm mostly just ignoring the Karma thing. If I get a "high score"... so be it!
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:40 bnycastro shares BryanLAS philosophy
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:42 Ourfounder asks "but it's dancing fruit! won't you sell your soul for dancing fruit?!"
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:43 bnycastro says ourfounder makes a compelling argument dancing fruit are enticing indeed, but no cigar, no if it were dancing ewoks...
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:44 Ourfounder says bnycastro has an expensive soul.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 01:46 bnycastro likes to milk it!

  June 12, 2008 at 04:25  swemoney thinks karma is small to him. I look at it a once a day but don't let it dictate how i plurk.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 04:27  swemoney says since the last 'upgrades' you unlock happen at 50 karma, I really won't care about it at all anymore once I get there.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 05:12 Roberto shares well, they have some ideas about Karma: "Plurk to UnVeil New Karma System". dev.cl/mah8
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 11:54 TheDreamer hates that my karma keeps falling. I don't know why I'm hated.
• 
  June 12, 2008 at 11:58 d3bruts1d  says not if done correctly. More plurks than replies? Punish the person... limit messages to non friends... etc.

  June 12, 2008 at 14:49 sillypixie says Karma == reputation. Gaming and stupid behavior happens IRL for reputation - why should digital relationships be simplistic in comparison?
