Honestly, I have ALWAYS hated the Karma thing. It's cruel. And if there's gonna be a rule that says you can't smite the admins or whatever, than doesn't it make sense that NOBODY can be smitten? Even if you make rules that people can't be smitten, people still can feel bad if nobody gives them a positive karma.

Hey Brighty! :]
Well I understand your doubt in the karma system, but things work a little differently here on TCOTF.
Instead of Karma, it's called 'warrior points'. And the way one can receive warrior points is by being an active member of this site, and in turn by being deserving of a reward. Like, for instance, if a member were to post a lot of really good roleplays, or make good suggestions (speaking of which, I shall reward you for this. lol), then an admin might see that, and decide to give them warrior points for being so awesomely-awesome! There are also contests that are held here at Ten Clans of the Forest, and winners are sometimes rewarded with ten or more warrior points! So really it's less of a popularity contest for us, and more of a show of a member's accomplishments on TCOTF.
And to the members that whine about having no warrior points, I say: "Suck it up and post more then!" =] Maybe if they were actually active, they would get los puntoss.
But I can see your point with the admin blockage... that seems a bit unfair. I think a good edit of this rule would be that nobody is allowed to smite others, except for certain exceptions. For instance, if in contrast to reward, punishment is required (like a member spammed, or swore extensively, or posted inappropriate material on the site, etc.), an admin will be allowed to take away warrior points from a member that broke the laww.
Does this sound like an okay compromise? :3

That is definately a good compromise. That way people don't go smiting each other for no reason and making others feel bad!

I kind of don't like the idea of karma/warrior points in the first place...it can make people really upset, especially those who've been on the site for almost 3 years and still have less karma than some who joined recently...X3 *cough* *cough* Oh, sorry :3
Seriously, sorry |P Jus' kiddin'!

lolz. Yea, I see your point though. That is a little unfair. I can't remember when, but like ages ago, Feathy just had a spur of the moment thing, and flung out like 15 warrior points to the most active member (or something, can't remember exactly what), and before I actually had a life, I was pretty active here like getting on 3-4 times daily, and so it just totally boosted my warrior points and... yea. Haven't even been on as long as some others. o.O heh.
SOO yeah... other opinions? Admins? Yes, no, compromise more?

I agree, sort of, it's unfair not to be able to smite an admin and others can be smitten. I like the idea of no smiting anyone, but maybe if they break a rule (and I believe this is already in the rules I really do not know) getting karma points taken away could be a kind of punishment
