Karma troll journal?Follow

I hate to seem like a whiner or something, but when there's a journal that tells people to rate down you specifically by name, it just doesn't sound too promising, eh?

Anyways, the journal's at http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/journal2.html?user=336497&mid=1091213598746743387&num=10

Yes, I rated down that post, because I thought it was a stupid loophole abuse in the karma system, and I told him that in another thread.

Sounds like a bunch of sock puppeting going on as well, just wondering if someone could look into it or something. Thanks for reading.

ratings in journals don't count to karma.

yea i agree this type of behavoir should not be tolerated, they are basically forming a posse to rate up and down people for rating them up or down. ouch my head hurts.

This complaint is not about the ratings in that thread, it is about what that thread suggests doing.

/em gets mental pictures of secret factions building up armies in Journals to go to war in the main forum over Karma.

I think it's an interesting experiment. They are trying to catch karma trolls in other forums by peicing together where they've struck.

I'll admit that not all of the cases where people have complained will be trolls, but I'm usually angry when I say something that's helpful and get an awful from some jackass simply because I posted at all.

well unless someone flat out says "I rated down you hahaha"

There is no (non-admin) way to verify the claims.

So i could go in and say Steve is the phantom Troll
and boom everyone in this group goes and rates them down.

Then i say hey my karma got hit by the troll so help me out
and everyone rates me up, meanwhile I am the troll and Steve is innocent.

I'm just saying ... this has bad news written all over it.

At least there's only two people that actually seem to post there. And I don't know if Denham actually gives a rat's *** about it, I just think all the time he's spending in the Asylum is corrupting his mind.

The Asylum can do that to people.

I started to do that to me before I realized that the threads go in a roundabout way and they start to contradict what they said earlier.

Then I gave up.
