Because I don't like it doesn't mean I don't look at it for kicks. "OMG you saw Zuko smile at Iroh mentioning Water Benders too!!!111 KARMA!!" "THANKS KARMA ^^ ^^ ^^" Actually if someone posted something like that it would be deleted for being off-topic. It's in the RB rules.

The vast majority of karma was issued long ago.

We made the rules because we were tired of having to police people on a case by case basis. This way, people can see the rules in advance, so if we catch anyone spamming, they were forewarned and we can just delete their posts instead of telling them to get back on topic and then watching them to make sure they did so.

Dude first of all you joined in September. You don't know how things were. Secondly, that rule is responsible for the karma decreasing.

The way things were before I joined has no bearing on the fact that right now, the RB is nothing like what you're describing and hasn't been for at least a couple of months. Right now the Relationships Board is not a place for getting easy Karma. Actually, it seems from what I've seen of the forum in the time I've been here that people were far more karma mad several months ago and that the amount of karma awarded nowadays is far smaller across the entire forum.

You don't get what im saying. Im saying that the people who have the most karma got it from that! When the RB was bad. Karma doesn't dissapear.

Well, it doesn't unless someone finds the smite option somehow, anyway. There's not too many of the really high karma'd people active on the boards though - a lot of the people who are fairly well known haven't been on here much longer than I have and there are even some relative newcomers.

The point of this thread is for popular. You said karma is an indicator. Im saying how that is NOT true. And I know how to smite.

True. But that doesn't necessarily disagree with my viewpoint that a huge post count is indicative of popularity either. There are too many factors to be taken into consideration to create a really universal formula for determining popularity based on numbers, I suppose.

Popularity also relates to what section of DH your in.
Some people might be popular in avatar discussion, some might be popular in th shipping threads, some might be popular only in RP, while others might be more popular in "other"
Me, for instance. I dont post much in the avatar discussion threads between seasons, so many people there probably dont know anything about me.
