Walker gave me the idea to start this poll
Sorry Mac ;D You got your poll up first. I’ll delete mine.
I would like to see the one hour limit changed to once every 24 hours. In other words, a user can only applaude or smite another user once a day instead of once an hour.
Well thanks for blaming me pal ;D ;D ;D
I’m not going to do it anonamously, so I’ll tell you… I’ve voted to get rid of it.
Walker.
LOL ;D
MacL
Looks like you need another option for you poll… ‘modify’ as per Culpeper’s suggestion (24 hr)

Let just say Brett is the smiter (hypothetically):
JULES
There’s a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this
situation: Ezekiel 25:17.
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities
of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of
darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost
children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and
furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
The two men EMPTY their guns at the same time on the sitting BRETT. ;D

Crikey,
I don’t know wether to wait for a thunderbolt or John Travolta to come through the front door 8) ;D
I guess ‘Brett’ should be heading for the hills ;D

Looks like you need another option for you poll.. 'modify' as per Culpeper's suggestion (24 hr)modify was put as a choice on the list. I wasnt blaming you i was giving the credit to you. I would have never thought to start a poll on this :-[
MacL,
Lighten up, it was a joke… see like Culpeper laughed… and I put the smileys… humour

The Avast! Team and all of the forum members are here to help anyone who’s got a question or problem. I think the karma system is a nice way to say “thank you” to those offering advice and I’ve done my share of clicking on “applaud”. I don’t see the need for “smite” at all and I’ve never used it.
I voted to modify – keep karma (with applaud) and get rid of “smite”.
Dave
Dave 50, I agree with you…
cojo
I agree on that too ;D
for the info, Wilders security forums uses an ‘applaud’ link only.but no ‘smite’ link.
Dave, you got yourself a karma.
I voted “NO” (for the moment)
If the abuse keeps happening, i think there must be a solution found :
-disable the Karma stuff or disable the “smite button”.
Amazing to see how low some people can go…although losing karma is not the end of the world, on the otherhand Karma does indicates that your being helpfull and gives a push in the back to keep supporting AVAST in this forum.
sad, really…
Waldo
Waldo, I agree with you! 
Most everyone that posts here is giving help–even me in what not to do to your computer ;D
When advice is freely and warmly given, there should be a karma…for the willingness to share expertise and knowledge.
To me, a smite is stabbing someone in the back for no apparent reason or a stupid reason…jealousy, difference of opinion, or just plain meanness. It serves no useful purpose. JMO
cojo
cojo is right most people do it for no reason
Walker,
I myself think that the Karma system is good for new users to guage the type of help and the type of person from whom it will come.
If a user feels that the person helping them was not up to par, then don’t give a Karma! The Smite is not necessary.
I am for removing it. I agree with Cojo’s remarks that some people do it just to be mean.
Culpeper,I like the bible stuff!
The smiter doesn’t like it. Apparently, he still feels the need to not act very nice. The smiter is probably some little nerd with a biiiiiiiiig computer. Come on Mr. Smiter? Show yourself. Be a real man instead of a little sniveling terrorist smiter.
The smiter awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he strolled on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and…then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He strolled on down the hall, and
And he came to a door…and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to smite you
Mother…I want to…---- you
Pavel,
Can you please tell Culpeper who is smitting him and put a stop to all this childish krma issue.
I strongly object to his latest poem with the ‘implication’ towards my forum name. At the very least it is thoughtless.
Walker… NOT walking.
;D
As nobody will tell you who smitte you, I give you the 34 to 35… Until Pavel become angry, I can tell you who [applaud] you ;D
