theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:35PM I mean peeps R Plurking *one word* posts in veiled attempts to raise it....
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:36PM other peeps are getting sucky about *losing* it when not logged in fer a day.....
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:42PM hasn't been my experience... larger percentage of my mates have come and gone in the last week....
storyspinner says Jun 11, 2008 01:42PM i think it builds more resentment to be honest, i just get pissed off cuz they take karma away
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:43PM like Digg giving Total Submissions more weight than Popular subs....
GemStar38 says Jun 11, 2008 01:45PM I'm not saying it doesn't produce crap but it is a way for the plurk creators to encourage users to chat and use plurk
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:46PM I think you are right lot's ofpeople get so down about losing it and give up. They also feel like they can't "win" so they quit
storyspinner says Jun 11, 2008 01:46PM i think there are a lot better ways to do that. karma, creates a contest, and people always try to cheat
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:47PM it should be what all good SM is about. Meeting / Networking & Forming Collaborations. Not how "cool you are" which is totally flawed IMO.
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:48PM Gist: In the karma equation they should equate avg # of responoses. OR only give credit for a plurk once it hits X replies.
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:48PM A plurk with no replies is useless. Also how can you have great karma for plurking so much if you have 10 friends who don't login
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:49PM we must remember they ONLY have 8000 members we are still beta i guess it just got bigger fast. This jedi is patient
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:51PM well I am getting tired of muting a dozen plurks out of 14 - even that ain't doing it - I've seen ONE WORD plurks... just silly and useless
Myriam ★彡 thinks Jun 11, 2008 01:52PM there is place for all plurkers, even those who plurk for karma, just set your friends and fans and you won't be spoiled by what don't want
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 01:53PM Amix just said they are rolling out a new algorithm next week that will punish non productive plurk usage.
notjaya says Jun 11, 2008 01:54PM i agree with myriam everybody has rights to do whatever they want with their plurks, it's just the matter of being their friend/fan or not
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 01:59PM kaydee Oh I have 2 words 4 U dear he he... jaya but you see if influencers poo poo the Plurk it will die a slow death... so issues there a
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 02:00PM no service is perfect and must follow the continuous improvement model... there are barriers too wider adoption here methinks
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 02:00PM if the top interesting people are NOT interesting and just gaming karma with useless jibber jabber it is no incentive for others.
bloggeries says Jun 11, 2008 02:00PM it become a competition of who has less a life and spends more time typing about a bug on their desk
kaydee Jun 11, 2008 02:04PM just kidding mr harry would you say that to plurk a question an hour (whatever the question) would be more honest plurking?
Myriam ★彡 asks Jun 11, 2008 02:04PM who cares about the list of most interesting people except those who run for karma ? it's just a hint
Myriam ★彡 thinks Jun 11, 2008 02:05PM most interesting people in my definition of, are often lost in the crowd, no list can help to find them
kaydee Jun 11, 2008 02:06PM my thoughts are whatever type of posts a purkee makes to 'increase karma' or try it all out you can choose to remove them as a friend
Myriam ★彡 says Jun 11, 2008 02:06PM anyway, even most interesting people have right to plurk silly or mediocrity sometimes
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 02:06PM those are reasonable Kay, just seen many that aren't where's the Plurk Polics? he he
Myriam ★彡 says Jun 11, 2008 02:07PM plurk can be both rewarding and playground, for pete sake enjoy, have fun and laugh seriously
kaydee Jun 11, 2008 02:09PM i hear ya, but its surely up to plurkers to police their own friends list so spam spurlers (splurkers?) would not get an easy ride
theGypsy says Jun 11, 2008 02:11PM I suppose we'll simply watch the active users list - see what the growth, droppage rates ae..
Hawksdomain says Jun 11, 2008 02:19PM when I one word plurk or emote only plurk it is because I do not have anything worth saying but want to let my presence be known...
Hawksdomain says Jun 11, 2008 02:20PM besides, I've already reached the height of karma points for emotes, so there is no reason to post as rampantly as I did before
sillypixie asks Jun 12, 2008 02:56PM wouldn't you just stop following someone posting one-word plurks? What use is a high karma with no friends or fans?
pope22 thinks Jun 12, 2008 06:32PM the trick is to be careful who you follow...er...be-friend. If someone is spamming up your timeline, just axe them from your friends list.
skinner says Jun 12, 2008 08:10PM I totally hate spam. It makes it so hard to participate in something like Plurk when you have limited time.
Rosana says Jun 13, 2008 12:13AM It's doing more harm than good. I don't like my Karma dropping when I can't Plurk because of work or illness (or vacation)
gm5000 Jun 13, 2008 12:16AM My karma went down again, and it'll be going down more since I won't be plurking this weekend.
would you say that to plurk a question an hour (whatever the question) would be more honest plurking? 
*Police* that is 
this Gypsy is psycic 
good call thegypsy
