The "hover for comment options" thing....meh
Monday, January 31, 2011 by Bebi Bulma | Discussion: Forum Issues
I thought the thing with the hovering to the comment options (reply, give karma, etc) was gonna be switched back to being always on....anyway, it's impossible to give karma for a post in a closed thread because those things don't show up.

Bara...and Bebi...
Giving anyone Karma after a thread went 'wrong' is an action of taking sides...whether it's the 'right' side or not makes no difference.
Taking sides, whether actual or just in token form [karma] continues the confrontation/whatever that ultimately led to meltdown.
If a thread is closed it SHOULD be closed.
To everything.
And that would ideally include posts from people who still had the page open AFTER it was closed/locked and thus ran the roadblock.
I know that would be problematic...but at least Karma can be stopped.
It is clearly UNFAIR to only allow Karma be given to the 'good guys' and not the cause/s of the closure....so the only 'right' thing to do is bar it...

If you're set on giving the karma, bebi... give it on another thread and in the reason cite the real one. Not as good, but better than nothing.

I wonder if a thread being closed is only due to an administrative action. Are there no other reasons for a thread to be closed?

OK, Jafo will get you for the spelling, and if mods don't need/use karma, why not divvy up Doc's K between the rest of us?

Who says rednecks don't have fantasies?
See what happens when Snowy types English? Comes out just the opposite. Or does it?

CarGuy1... it's something set up for JoeUser as blogging can have odd topics that often go pear-shaped... so it's appropriate for the Op to have control over his/her threads.
On Wincustomize it's not necessary as the Forums have Moderators tasked with keeping things appropriately civil, etc. ...

Bara
My point exactly. And what if the person you wanted to give karma to was actually a moderator?
