I've found a worthy goal for those dishing out karma...


I just noticed that kovidgoyal only has 274k karma, I think the creator of such a useful program as Calibre should be a multimillionaire!

Something is definitely screwy.

Thanks, gastan, for backing me up. I notice numbers - I knew I wasn't crazy.
I noticed it last week as well - I was glad you resided it.

I'm sure I'll come across as something between a Scrooge and a wet blanket, but I'm not a big fan of Karma, Post Counts, Member Since, etc. It seems people use these, in all honesty, meaningless metrics to stratify themselves, form cliques, and build pseudo authority. Trust me, there are many folk on forums who've been members for ever, or have a huge post count, and have no idea what they're talking about. In fact, some of us old-timers are so used to doing things in a certain way that we'll tell new folks "you're doing it wrong," when in fact they're doing it the right "new" way, that we have yet to learn.

A couple of systems I've used have had the option for individual members to disable karma. I choose to do so when possible, but that's just my personal preference.
That is a very wise thing to think and to say. Especially with regard to the net and the ever changing ways of communicating, of making contact and relating. This site is about books and gadgets about books, It means that the quality of people is high, higher than average. I expect good things from this wave of enthusiasm about karming all over the place. more contacts, more relations. They might appear silly, while they are playful, they bring smiles, laughs, fun. I think it is this that you meant with the right new way. Bravo.

Great idea!

I had been staying out of this karma debate, but this, this is a worthy reason to jump in. Calibre FTW!

I actually nominate that Kovid be allotted "infinity" as his Karma tally.
The symbol would look cool under his profile.

I really think you have a point. It seems that the people that give the most benefit to the most members dont give the most posts.

I think the pay pal system works better for them. Stick your hand in your pockets people.
