Idk probably can't probably stuck with a red dot like some type if predator lol

You know what daddylongstride and kellikel i get to know you better in the forums any way. So some idiot didnt get the attention he or she wanted. You guys have great post out here. Just havent seen you post in awhile.

@luisavaldez it was design for the people say perverted things to us. Not to because someone wont or hasnt talked to you.

Obviously, a warning is a good hint for you ...

OP & Daddy just continue to be nice and dont worry too much about sending/receiving messages.. Hope admin will step in and enlighten us more but so far, personally, I never responded all of the messages I received, I gave negative karma to those who were rude and harassing me and positive to those who are nice and polite ...& so far, none hit negative karma button at me..

I haven't gave no one negative karma only positive but there are people I stop talking to if I'm the only one carrying covo I'm a talkative person and if you can't hold a convo I find it pointless to chat

To be honest, I think you are blowing this out of proportion and taking it way too personally.

I just looked at your Karma and you currently don't have ANY Karma at all (positive or negative), so whoever gave you negative Karma has "undone" it. That probably means they hit the "negative" Karma button by mistake.

But for the sake of argument, let's assume you had received negative Karma and it hadn't been undone. It would actually not have affected you at all, and I think this is the point a lot of people are missing. There is no difference between an overall Karma score of -3 and +100. The only thing that matters is going below -3, and to do that you have to be very rude to a lot of people and not polite to anyone. To give you an idea, only 4 people on the ENTIRE site have an overall Karma score below -3, and all four of them are men and all four of them deserve their Karma score.

You could get negative Karma every day and still never surpass the severely negative Karma threshold if you were continually being nice to others and getting positive Karma to compensate for the negative. But of course, we don't tell you when you get positive Karma, and that's to keep the System from getting gamed.

I think everyone needs to accept that you will get negative Karma at one point or another. It's not a big deal. Maybe you get it from a guy who gives it to everyone because he's having a bad day or from someone who doesn't like the color of your hair, who knows. What matters is that as long as you are always nice and respectful to people, you'll never hit the threshold and the System will thus never have any effect on your account whatsoever.

In fact, I have yet to receive a single complaint from someone who has actually surpassed the threshold of severely negative Karma. Why? Because they know they deserve it.

So the System is working as intended, just don't take any negative Karma personally as it's just not worth it, and don't let one bad apple spoil your experience here.

I suppose if more and more people complain about getting negative Karma, I could change the System so it doesn't let you know when you've gotten negative Karma (like we currently do with positive Karma). If I did that, I know we wouldn't get any complaints since not only would no one know when they've gotten negative Karma, but the vast majority would never even hit the threshold so it would be as if the System never existed in the first place. But of course, the downside to not warning users when they receive negative Karma is that it doesn't give them a warning or opportunity to improve their behavior and be more respectful, which kind of defeats the purpose of the System.

Hope that helps.

We put the Karma system in place because we were receiving too many complaints (mainly from women) that other users were harassing them or being disrespectful. So we decided to give everyone the power to do something about it and help keep the site friendly and respectful.

The red dot next to user's usernames has nothing to do with the Karma system. It means that user is offline (green for online).

If you hit the severely negative Karma threshold, you get a lot more than a dot. You get a big fat yellow warning on your profile and messages you send telling everyone about your negative Karma. Have a look at this example. Try to find a date with that kind of warning! :)

Ok thanks for clarifying that for I appreciate it.

Ok so i am having the same problem. I havent been on here in a week and i HAVE NEVERRRR been rude to anyone, but there is one or two people that are upset cuz i dont chat with them, or cuz i dont agree with them on the forums, now i got negative karma?? Thats jus not rite!!! Andes u can read allll my messages and see i am very polite, having haters out there is going to ruin this karma idea thing u have goin on. We dont have to be rude or crude, people are jus being mean
