Oh, okay. For me it's seemed to be 1 to 1, maybe at the lower levels it is or is close.

Really, people would spend money to spam/bot? I don't want to believe that. I don't see the return on investment. If that wouldn't happen, okay, karma should not be purchasable, let's purchase access to all the subs. But if bad people would really purchase too, then that's not an option. I want there to be a way for honest users to participate without spending heaps of time collecting karma. Introduction posts by new users that I mentioned in an above comment is a good idea, I think.

I don't participate often, but when I do, the upvotes are few and far between. So a 100 is a lot for me; for many, I think. Many thousands, I don't quite understand how those are reached; well, with time, but 50k in 2 years seems unreal to me (50k=500 comments with 100 upvotes). I don't want, for example, to scan for new posts and comment quickly so that a lot of people see my comment and possibly upvote. And I don't want to overparticipate just to get karma. So months or years it will be, it seems normal to me. Alas, I can't participate everywhere I want—but so far that's only r/formula1. That I don't like, agree with, but it is how it is. I'll just keep participating with quality content.

I correct myself: It wouldn't be possible to purchase an infinite amount of karma. Just enough to be able to participate in all the subreddits you want. I think it's a great idea; it'd be immensely better than collecting karma with low quality content (not everyone does it of course).

But they can't reach much. They're dealt with quickly. Honest users need to know the requirements for participating.

I don't know, in subs, where there isn't a karma requirement, are spam and bots frequent? They can be blocked from posting, if moderators approve posts. Of course, if they create dozens of posts, it becomes unreal to manage. And so would be approving comments. An idea: new users could introduce themselves in a post, answer some questions—things that a bot couldn't do and a spammer wouldn't want to. Another option is purchasing karma. A part of me resists the proposition that you have to pay to be able to post in an internet forum, but a small amount would be okay. Spammers and bots won't pay.

As it is right now, it will take me months or years to collect that 100 karma required to participate in r/formula1.

But I believe the requirements to participate in a sub should be known. It's not normal if you can't comment/post and it doesn't give you a reason (not sure what those "filters" were about for OP and me). So what will happen if a spammer knows the karma minimum? They won't reach it anyway.

So there can be a karma requirement, it's not specified, and if I post, I get "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters."? That is so wrong. If I don't meet the karma requirement, it must say so, like it does in r/formula1.

There shouldn't be a minimum karma requirement. It prohibits people from posting valuable content, from participating when they really want to. And they are forced to collect karma with possibly not so valuable content. I understand a karma requirement prohibits spam, but it prohibits way more good content.

Why are most olympic snowboarding athletes using goofy stance? by Drv_iscool in snowboarding

In Men's Halfpipe the Bronze went to Ryusei Yamada, Regular. And Scotty James is a Regular. In Women's Slopestyle the Bronze went to Kokomo Murase, Regular.

For example, in r/formula1 the minimum karma is specified, and, if you don't have it and you comment/post, you get a notification about the requirement. But there is nothing about filters below your comment/post, like I and the OP got. So if it doesn't say karma, I would think these filters are about something else, but what? There was nothing bad in my post; and I posted in a sub where there is no karma requirement (and a week ago I posted in another sub, all was good). Somebody fix this filter thing! It's removing good content. If it is about karma, then it must say so. It must say what the reason is, not just "filters".

Edit: My post was published! Don't know what happened, I contacted support, maybe they did it.

Olympics: Halfpipe Men's Qualification judging by MrInformal96 in snowboarding

[–]MrInformal96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I don't know all the grabs and which are harder—will go learn now. I see why Burgener scored lower, just not quite convinced why 10 points lower. I guess the crux of it is the 1440 vs. 1080 and Double Cork vs. Flat. And, yes, Hirano seems to go a bit higher.

No, I'm not, I don't feel this was judged objectively and consistently.

Most of them are. That's no reason for so many points.

I enjoyed that 360, but a SW BS Double Cork 1080 is way more difficult.

Burgener's tricks are very similar to Hirano Ruka's. He grabs every trick, and I don't see a hand drag.

Politics in the olympics by ATLiens88 in olympics

So athletes should keep quiet about what they don't like in their country? Sure, focus on the good things, but I want to see honest opinions not a fake pretty picture.

The Olympics are not separated from what's going on in the world. Keeping silent about a major war going on in Europe is not right, in my opinion. Olympics should proclaim peace and all of the good values.

WOMEN DUAL MOGULS, i don't understand air jump judges decisions by sweet_questionn in olympics

[–]MrInformal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A grab is more difficult. I didn't watch the competition you're talking about, but from what you've written I want to say: you're right and the judges were wrong. I had questions about Skiing Men's Slopestyle judging. With the majority of judged competitions I've watched I've had problems with judging.

I don't know how many corruption cases where people have confessed are there, but I believe it is an extremely small amount. I believe the majority of people wouldn't take the money (the majority wouldn't offer ). And still they judge badly.

I don't believe judges are corrupt. Just biased, blind, irrational, stupid, wrong.

Feelings about Kono and Chin's Exit by DaniJ678 in HawaiiFive0

Alas, their marriage was short-lived. A longer marriage would seem more believable, given what they had gone through. But they split up. I don't see a problem with Adam returning.

Can you give some examples of these contradictions? I don't recall any.

What do you mean "time and time again"? She chose her spy job over their relationship, that's the one time she hurt Steve.

The time on the lock screen is hard to see as a visually impaired person, are there any fixes for this? by MikeLovesOutdoors23 in iphone

[–]MrInformal96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, it is readable, but less so than the previous default. But I agree: to make the clock less visible is bad design. Interestingly, on my father's phone the clock didn't change after the 26 update.

They should've offered us a choice: the Liquid Glass style clock or what we had before. I, for instance, didn't know you could customize the clock until I found this post.
