I think some people's need for karma is potentially dangerous as it becomes an addiction to the extent they may neglect responsibilities in the real world because they want a higher number.

Plus karma doesn't take into account when people are ill, on holidays or even evacuating from a hurricane. They come home from hospital and back to plurk to see that they have lost the use of emoticons just for being ill. I personally don't think that is fair. I think once you have attained the level of karma that gives you access to the emoticons those should remain available to you regardless of where your karma goes afterwards.

i see a very large number of people there, criticizing plurk's karma system, typically making very good points.

plurk seems to have a bizarre desire to exclude everyone except power-users.

if you have to plurk every 12 hours or else your karma drops, then what use is plurk to my friends and family? it's like the service is *trying* to exclude casual use.

what's wrong with casual use?

I think Roland has a point... ok deny the emoticons until you have initially reached that level of Karma but don't take them away if you slip behind for having a life. – soulcreates, on September 12, 2008 10:02

Totally agree they need to put it on a testing server, test it themselves and then invite some more aggressive plurkers to try and break it before putting it live
