I was wondering if anyone's having a problem with Plurk, specifically the Karma point system. I heard that there has been a change in how the Karma points are being counted, but I never thought it'd go this bad if it were.

I plurk a lot daily. I reply and get a lot of replies too. Before, I'd see my Karma steadily climb and I could move one Karma up to another in two days or so. Now, I noticed that despite me adding new friends, getting tons of replies and Plurking more, my Karma is climbing up slowly than ever. One of my friends has even overtaken me whereas before, I was almost always a point up.

Normally, I don't really care about Karma, as I'm having too much fun to actively monitor it, but you can't help but notice it, and I am just curious as to why it's crawling instead. Last night, if I remember correctly, I had 90.34. Now, I have 90.36. Considering that I plurked and replied actively, I expected it to go up to maybe 90.45 or more.

I did check some threads but they're a few months old so I don't know if it still applies. Thanks.

My karma got stuck today and i deserve an increase

I've had 24 people become a fan of me over the course of 18 hours yesterday, between 2am and 8pm approx, UK time. 22 of those were obvious spammers -- users with empty profiles and plurks consisting primarily of commercial links or links to traffic-harvesting or banner-trading sites. The other two were (presumably legitimate) users with whom I've had no prior connection and of whom I've never heard.

I think this is because I appeared on the "Interesting plurkers" page for a while.

So I have two questions:

1. Does Plurk take anti-spam measures seriously?

2. Is there a mechanism whereby I can prevent myself appearing on the "Interesting plurkers" page ever again?

Is there a Blackberry app for plurk?

Why is my karma going up at such a slow rate? I've been plurking on a regular basis, updated my CSS, responding to plurks, added several friends, and my karma has gone up o.o7 at the last update. Any reasons as to why?

The flood filter added recently is getting highly annoying. I thought the whole point of plurk was to have a conversation. Sometimes you cannot say everything in just 140 characters, or even triple that, if you're trying to convey a concise thought that doesn't confuse everyone.

I think it needs a rework, if not a complete and total removal. It's blocking legitimate users more than anything else.
There are already several plurks in complaint with this:
