Angst, Volume One
I am an easily angered person. As a result, most everything will piss me off at some point. Some, more often and much more than others. Like whenever I hear about Jack Thompson, I think about buying a bottle of Everclear and a carton of smokes, just so I can die that much faster. The way I see it, I have an opportunity to both work on my writing ability, vent, and maybe gain some respect around here. The first thing I'll do is try and break down the Karma system. The Karma system, when used properly, is a very excellent way to know who's who on the board. It is a definite incentive not to be a complete shithead. You can start your own threads, get a nice title maybe... However, the Karma system gets a little bit awry when people add Karma to pictures. I think that is a totally shit idea. If the person has a load of awesome pictures they took while in Alaska, and they're some absolutely beautiful examples of photography, by all means, give them your Mod point. However, when people can pass themselves off as a girl and post pictures that are scantily clad, or just post pictures of various hot girls, and wind up with a Karma level of +20 because of it, that's just the single worst use of the Karma system. I want to respect someone with a lot of Karma because they're an excellent poster, not because they're a complete camera whore. And that's just about the long and short of it. If I offended anyone, I'm horribly sorry, but realize that the person to you left laughing has his turn coming up next. And maybe the guy that laughs at him is next too. When I'm out of angsts (Unlikely!) I will probably have alienated everyone on this website. So I'm not singling anyone out. Maybe the next one won't suck. Who knows? |
