    • Never know, I could, get a clean rating in 1/2 weeks and three days. Now that would be very good.

      also i suspect you live in north america since you said "5$" and not for example "5 marks" or "5 crowns".

    • Ok, I'll try not to be to strict. I'm going to have to watch my internet time to. I'll have to be careful to bad my dad didn't get 95 hours or 100 hours. If your wondering we get 75 hours. So I have to be very careful because it's updated daily. I may have to stay off until March, 1 or second then I can continue this good way that I'm doing so far that I really like.

    • I really don't understand why karma even matters at all. Even if its -8 they are not going to kick you off the board anyway. If it is 110, what does that show other that you and some other person who happens to be a moderator agree.

    • 110?

      ------------------

    • Karma only goes up to ten, but you might accedently typed two in a row.

    • I wonder, when you reach ten, you have an option to become a Moderator. By the way what the ranking when you reach +10 karma.

      First of all, the maximum Karma is +15.

      Secondly, I'm not sure what rating you get when you reach +10 or +15.

      Thirdly, good job UE General! Now you've got only -5, and you are one karma point closer to getting a clean or possibly even +1 Karma rating!

    • As far as I know, I'm thinking that I'm going to get a clean rating, in a week and a few days and maybe even a +1 karma! Yippee.

      ------------------

    • Maybe someday I will get a +15 karma and become a Moderator.

    • The absolutely best way to get your karma upped is to not post with the aim of improving your karma. Pretend karma isn't there; don't make it a challenge to yourself. Many of the people who have had seriously negative karma posted specifically to get their karma raised. The main reason (I think, at least) that I'm at +1 is that I pay almost no attention at all to karma; I just ignore it, and if and when my karma gets raised, I'll just view it as a good side effect of normal posting, instead of trying to actively keep doing whatever I was doing. In a nutshell, just pretend the whole karma thing isn't there. It works for me, and it should for you too. 🙂

      P.S.: Good work UEG! The mods seem to be getting to like you (coughlikeforgecough). But remember to follow the advice above--keep posting normally; you don't have to try to make good posts on purpose to get your karma raised. Eventually, you'll be returned to the wonderful land of non-criminaldom... 🙂

      And hey, UE General may even be a moderator eventually (though the chances for any of us to become a moderator are very slim)!

    • I agree with Shayborg, don't post to get your karma raised.

      Definitely, do that and you might get lowered Karma. UE General, remember this rule.

    • Correct. To become a moderator requires being a close friend of Ambrosians. For example, doing nice things like giving them a place to stay and cook up bugs to eat (Alpaca got +1 karma for it) or being a family member or making a 500 megabyte total conversion plugin will give you "positive" karma, pelting them with tomatoes and making death threats to Andrew will give you "negative" karma.
      Focus on attaining karma, and you may even come back as a cow in
      your next life (according to those of Buddhist faith.)
