scobleizer loves Jun 04, 2008 07:33AM the idea of Karma, but knows it will just lead to gaming and stupid behavior.
daynah asks Jun 04, 2008 07:34AM what does karma allow you to do besides change your character and title?
ThinkingSerious says Jun 04, 2008 07:35AM there should be some reverse Karma action going on for stupid behaviour.
the JoshMeister thinks Jun 04, 2008 07:37AM karma is a brilliant way to get people hooked & to gain users, while simultaneously encouraging people to post lameness to "level up" (bad)
the JoshMeister thinks Jun 04, 2008 07:38AM 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
thunderror says Jun 04, 2008 07:55AM 2000 seems to be tough considering that the lead developer is at 75...
Rufus thinks Jun 04, 2008 08:03AM karma will help have a community, and the community is stronger then failures... loiclemeur get out of my body !
matstace asks Jun 04, 2008 08:27AM just how many plurks/plurk responses will be along the lines of "karma++"
nightsky wishes Jun 04, 2008 12:55PM it would've been called something other than karma. The term karma has been thrown around a lot lately.
sonnygill thinks Jun 04, 2008 12:59PM if you offer a prize for higher karma, that's gonna ruin the whole system.
Beth Harte says Jun 12, 2008 01:17AM that the point of Karma and, uh, social media, is to converse. You, scobleizer, never talk back...
bruceturner says Jun 12, 2008 01:22AM lots of good comments on the subject of karma on plurk here: www.plurk.com/p/b6dc
snosnap thinks Jun 12, 2008 01:23AM it is what it is. just here to interact, not care about a measure. get enough measurement at work.
bruceturner wishes Jun 12, 2008 01:31AM for the options to hide my own karma and flambe dancing bananas.
TheDreamer says Jun 12, 2008 01:34AM it is killing my interest, since my karma is going down now....perhaps I should get all depressed and go away.
Ourfounder says Jun 12, 2008 01:37AM karma is like an annoying tamugochi. You have to slave to plurk in order to maintain it.
bruceturner says Jun 12, 2008 01:37AM ourfounder - hilarious. Whatever it takes, man I do wonder whether karma is a barrier to entry for those who would otherwise participate
BryanLAS Jun 12, 2008 01:39AM I'm mostly just ignoring the Karma thing. If I get a "high score"... so be it!
Ourfounder asks Jun 12, 2008 01:42AM "but it's dancing fruit! won't you sell your soul for dancing fruit?!"
swemoney thinks Jun 12, 2008 04:25AM karma is small to him. I look at it a once a day but don't let it dictate how i plurk.
swemoney says Jun 12, 2008 04:27AM since the last 'upgrades' you unlock happen at 50 karma, I really won't care about it at all anymore once I get there.
Roberto shares Jun 12, 2008 05:12AM well, they have some ideas about Karma: "Plurk to UnVeil New Karma System". dev.cl/mah8
d3bruts1d says Jun 12, 2008 11:58AM not if done correctly. More plurks than replies? Punish the person... limit messages to non friends... etc.
sillypixie says Jun 12, 2008 02:49PM Karma == reputation. Gaming and stupid behavior happens IRL for reputation - why should digital relationships be simplistic in comparison?
