For all of you able please raise my Karma. Or it would be pretty cool to be a galatic scorge. thanks, or If you want to lower it then the correct thing for me to say is "go to helll". really I dont to get kicked off so I said it with 3 L's.

You have to earn karma, not beg for it. Personally, I don't worry about it. As long as it doesn't get low, I tend to ignore it. For example, if you performed an act of extreme kindosity, (I can make up words like that if I want to) you might get a karma point. On the other hand, if you posted spam and swore a lot, the mods would probably lower your karma substantially and maybe even ban you.
Karma is a complicated thing. Difficult to obtain, easy to lose.

And don't do mad smilies at me. I will hunt you down.
1. You have done very little to help the webboards.
2. You have been around for about 2 hours.
3. You have 9 posts, and 2 of those have been asking for karma.
4. People out there have done MUCH more for the boards than you, have hundreds of posts, and haven't got karma upgrades.
5. You don't have a very good attitude towards this. Karma is HARD to get. Very hard. It's not a right you have after posting a couple of times - you have to impress the moderators, and that is extremely hard, since each new moderator is, I think, told not to give out too much karma, so they then take that to extremes. Captain Carnotaur, a moderator, has raised karma only once or twice TOTAL.
6. Asking for karma is the greatest sign of a newbie, and newbies can't really get karma. Once you shed the "newbie" title (don't ask how, it just comes) you stand a chance.
7. Moderators dislike people asking for karma. They might dislike it less if you supplied a reason, but I doubt it.
8. Remarks such as your angry "why not?" will only further annoy both us members and moderators.
9. A friendly tip. Don't upset any members. Moderators will notice, and often they'll be moderators with many member friends.
10. Posts with one to two letters pretty much get you LOWER karma.
11. Saying "don't lower my karma" won't stop them. It'll encourage them.
12. Have a nice day.

SilverDragon, when and how did you get your karma?
I just ask out of curiousity

------------------ Let's pretend you don't hate me for a second, then try posting. If this was a great world, then what the hell am I doing in it?
Well, I got it on the EV boards about 2 weeks ago for:
"Most people prefer 2 well designed governments over half a dozen badly design ones." - Whether EV or EVO is better
I lost it today because of forge, but another moderator was nice enough to give me it back for forge being unfair.

I would say that if you try to get karma, you stand practically no chance of getting it. The only way to get karma is to behave in a helpful and productive manner.

Voinian Earth I would recommend you read the FAQs and web board guidelines, ask you were asked to do when you registered. Karma isn't thrown around for those who ask for it, as the boards would be flooded with requests for it and it would thus become, meaningless.
A galatic scourage is a title you get with NEGATIVE karma. So if you want that title and a banning, keep it up.
I only raise and lower karma for people making an extraordinary post. If you are rude, it is lowered, if I see that you are going to go out of your way to help someone -or some other nice/intelligent thing, it is raised. If I can see someone is acting in a way only in the hopes of getting their karma raised, I ignore it.
I see no reason to keep this topic open. I thank everyone who replied in a thoughtful manner.
