offers congratulations

*grins* I think there's lots of people in this forum whose actual worth far exceeds their karma so I wouldn't bother too much about that!

isn't one of those

before she pops to bed that she bets Tenebrous friends might say otherwise (at least behind yiour back!)

smiles ... thanks now to go sleep hehe

meep! and runs off laughing to bed.

that takes talent!

danton might be the first person to reach negative Plurk karma levels.

it cannot, but if it ever does, danton will be the first to know

thanks to this plurk and your replies I'm back up to 1.69

but I do think the Plurk algorith is the pits - I never "mark all as read", I add a few replies now and then, and I even plurk occasionally

and for all my efforts I'm rewarded with karma that varies between 0.00 and a ceiling of 5.00, which I've never reached

other than being designed just to push you to consume (as the rest of our society), the plurk algorithm is an example of vertical stretch

a merely average participation goes totally unrewarded, and only the power users get adequate recognition

just as 90% of the population consumes 10% of the resources, and the top 10% consume all the rest - inequality is exaggerated beyond reason

I deliberately ignore karma, I'm in this for the information I can pick up. But I'm just observing how it works.

Maybe, but I still think my plurk karma measured on a more objective scale would be significantly higher than 1.59 - that's vertical stretch
