Logged in a few minutes ago and noticed that reputation in my account was much higher then before. Guessing it might be counted now.

    I was kinda hoping the whole “Reputation” thing could just be deleted so we don’t get the karmawhoring problem that plagued Reddit, but now, I guess I can actually upvote someone more than once, so that’s a thing!

    It feels a little weird to me that we can manually upvote our own comments and posts on kbin.

    Reddit would automatically set them at +1 because it’s implied that the author would want to upvote their own contributions, and it’s one less hassle if it’s done automatically.

    Alternatively, new posts and comments can start at 0, but then I feel like authors should not be able to upvote their own contributions.

      Wait…we are supposed to upvote our own comment? Thanks for the info, I was confused on that one and thought it was a glitch.

    We’ll I have a bunch now, so it’s fixed as far as I can tell. It’d be nice to just have it hidden though tbh, or we’ll just get the same karma farming garbage over here that we had on Reddit.

    My personal opinion, of course.

      Yes, if there is one lesson we should have learned from Reddit it’s that internet points aren’t great for fostering real discussion and debate.

      Still, with so many new link aggregation platforms appearing to fill the Reddit void, hopefully we still end up with something better.

    Damn. I’m finally in the positive.
    Not that I care too much about imaginary internet points, but a couple “controversial” (differing opinions) comments on a topic and you looked like a negative karma troll at first glance.

    Just checked my profile and… it has to be. I went from -1k-something reputation to 6000+ in the course of today. only way that could’ve happened is if the upvotes thing is fixed.

    I am guessing so since just before I saw this post I checked my profile and it was at 3k. Up from 200 or so.

    The bulk of the accounts had either sub-zero or single-digit reputation, which was weird. And it maybe have discouraged people from joining kbin from reddit, where karma was more easy to understand.
