    Not sure how to describe it, but your karma just ran over my dogma.

    Until now Karma has been on a linear scale, in the future on a logarithmic. Why not?

    Well, the revamp is still in process so you might want to wait for the final 'version' here.

    Cheers!

    I just lost 100% of mine too! I have full confidence they are coming back, but what a scary thought...

    Another vote for no more Karma or points. @VABA just put out a beer glass icon .

    OMG get rid of Karma points....Why the hell would I get out of bed in the morning. All motivation would be lost. I would have to rewrite my resume. My wife would have to remove the points embroidered on my beer jacket (which I wear to breweries and am envied by all).

    I think we are not far from getting our beloved points, has been refreshing to have them gone for some days. I have decided to just accept the status I'll get :heavymetal:

    We're definitely getting closer. We're also at nearly 300 possible achievements that I'll start loading in the very near future.

    I honestly hope he listened to as little feedback as possible. The system he had crafted over 26 years was working fine for me. Not that I’m afraid of change, just simply because I trust that whatever was in mind to begin with would have worked out fine. Cheers.

    Let's remember each and every post and other contributions in themselves tell a bit about who we are, the "label" we get is just a small part of the story, based on statistcs.

    Is that the old system limit or the limit for the revamped system?:confused:

    Just like Admirals and Generals, 5 is limit. The next step is beer retirement.
