-
Lol yeah haysey's just mad because he woke up with bread all round the entrance to his tent at the polo show last year. I think someone was trying to get the geese to go in his tent while he was sleeping of the booze from the night before ;D
-

-
How you getting on with the hella grill i hope the lamps are still intact took me years to get round to selling it. Just in the process of turboing my loon now
-
Very well thanks mate. The torx-headed screws were a stroke of genius! Made things much easier, thanks.
What's made you go down the turbo route? Looked like nothing was wrong with your charger setup?
-
More power really and reliability plus alot easyier to work on.
There's alot of plus points really after the initial expence.
Very well thanks mate. The torx-headed screws were a stroke of genius! Made things much easier, thanks.

The torx head screws were not my genius they were volvo's lol

-

I've applauded you for helping me with the fuel lines it'll be robin the cockle picker whos smiting you
-
yeah it probably is. Or there's a few people on here who seem to get far too wound up about karma, like it actually means anything in real life.
-
I just wanna know why youve adjusted mine to be stupid high? Not exactly funny tbh. You may have a simple life.........
-
I haven't.... I wish you'd stop saying I have when I keep telling you I haven't
-
ive now reset your karma to 0
fresh start and all that, the karma does have its purpose more for when people are helpful or not, i do smite people when they ask silly things or reply with silly replies, and on that note, i have now smited you jon
but technically i have unsmitted you 65400 times or something ;)
-
Jon's life is now complete and order is restored to the universe.
-
Why does mine keep going down
-
because people keep smiting you, i smited you for that silly question :D
-
because people keep smiting you, i smited you for that silly question :D
Lol tbh i thught that may cause me to loose another point for saying that
-
i now applaud you for your realisation of your mistake ;D
-
So I asked 65000 stupid questions? Must be getting old coz I cant remember that many!!
-
Seriously Jon if this is all you have to worry about in your life then you are blessed!

smited for being EMO.
-
Well if you can't ask questions on a forum then whats the point you twats?
Clubpolo mk2 is here :lol:
-
Nice attitude. Do you really need to ask why you keep getting smited.
-
why did you just call everyone twats?
-
Jon - fucking grow up
-
This thread should be a sticky so if anyone wants to know why there karma has changed they will be able to read it a know not to ask lol
-
Just do what other people on here do, drive by smiting. A good while back when my karma was a mere -6, I saw it change to -7. It was the wee small hours and the only people online were Dan Knight and two others I can't remember. Now I hadn't been putting my foot in it for some time so wouldn't have expected any alterations. A couple of weeks ago, on the dizzy limit of -10, I noticed my Karma had gone up ??? to -9. Again, even as I watched, it went back to -10. I had a look at who was online and there was Volkov, Alex, Hardchargin and once again, Dan Knight. I'm not a gambler, but odds of 5/2 against Dan smiting me look pretty good, so I'm smiting Dan now( I see I'm not alone) just in the passing. After all, it's just a bit of fun isn't it ?
-
its actually an option of turning it off.
It works like a restaurant or holiday review.
If its bad you tell everyone - good you tell a few people.
with karma, if you help people out you very occasionally get an applaud, do something stupid like ask how to bolt a turbo on a 1litre and you get smited to death!
-
Seems like we're going in circles with this one Pete; the theory's excellent, but it's open to petty abuse. Should be a smite log of some sort, but then it all gets too complex.
-
it's just meant to be a bit of silly fun, I think we'll probably end up turning it off since people seem to be mistaking it for something that actually matters.
-
It should be a good idea; people who are giving out sound info/being helpful etc. could be recognised by their karma. So I'd be happy with it if their were no individual applauds or smites; maybe a collective action(five or ten to register in any one thread) before anyone got +-.
-
Good point. On a large forum it makes sense to have the ability to 'grade' users by their knowledge, helpfulness and contribution to the club. Also a reputation can be built when buying/selling parts.
On a forum this size though, IMO it's easy to become familiar with the users and identify the good from the bad. For buying/selling there's both the company and user feedback sections. Karma is largely irrelevant and certainly not to be taken to heart - after all not everything is easily communicable on-line and people can get the wrong end of the stick.
-
Its all fun and games until someone looses a karma point lol ;D
-
Ha! Me and Haysey had this conversation as i wondered who was smiting me, and saw you had done me twice, and then checked your posts and thought, i actually have no idea who this is? or why he is smiting me????
If you look i am online most of the time as i leave my computer on most of the time.
Crazy logic you have, and then you follow it up saying it is good in theory but open to petty abuse, you are doing exactly that tho
like cheys says, it does not really have a purpose on this forum
For the record i have smited you for your silly assumptions, and then in the next hour i will smite you for smiting me for no reason, even tho you owe me about 3 or 4 applauds by looks of it.

-
Odds of 5/2 against isn't crazy logic Dan. Man up and get your act together.
-
im trying to figure out if you are serious or joking?
I hope you aint a gambling man because you would have just lost your bet
-
Perfectly serious Dan. Your in the frame in two very tight groups of people when I've had a smite. What happens when you get a smite or two? you go to Haysey Bibble,Bibble,Bibble,Paul someone's smiting me. Other folk have the balls to come on the forum and challenge what they see as unwarranted smiting. Your response, when I say I'm smiting you is to say is that my action's illogical and threaten to smite me. Carry on mate, all that's happening here is that anyone looking at this forum will think we are a bunch of juveniles.
-
dude
i never smited you in the first place, i have no idea who you are.
I saw my level drop and was curious as to why, so i asked haysey if there was any way of tracking it, and it came up with you smiting me.
I didnt cry at him, i just asked, when he said it was you, then i asked the question, why on earth is he smiting me?
Didnt think anything of it, but at least now i know you were smiting me for your own bizarre reason.
Im still amazed you are arguing this out, you are clearly in the wrong.
before you reply
"I DID NOT SMITE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE"
(just anticipating your reply)

WTF are you stressing for can you not read that karma is a bit of fun think your the one thats being a juvenile for throwing your toys out of your cot about it
-
As you said yourself Grant, " it's all a bit of fun till someone looses a Karma point". What I don't like about it though is when someone wants to know why they are being smited and they get smited for asking the question; pretty juvenile. People get smited for being stupid when they are only niaive and as Cheys03 points out, there's a lot of "lost in translation" scenarios where unwarranted smiting creeps in. I personally feel that far too many people are into smiting for all the wrong reasons. I feel it disrupts what is a pretty good forum and most of all I feel that Moderaters shouldn't be involved in it. As you can see they don't like it either. Time it went. Is it worth a vote?
-
right it's gone, life is too short for this bullshit.
Now you will have to find something else to stress about for no apparent reason :D
-
Haysey i'm gonna start stressing about your sunroof plate still being priered get it painted
-
i would like to thank all the people envolved in this thread topic - it has made me chuckle for the last 2 minutes!
-
It is my main aim in life to make people laugh ;D
-
Now I can safely ask how you bolt a turbo on a 1litre ;D lol
