Well... This topic is made by MonkeyIsland himself, so you guys have to kind of watch out what you say. -_-;
I actually believe this topic is a bad idea though. The topic and poll still may still not work if even majority of people are willing to make sound bias free judgement. I believe MonkeyIsland made this post quickly because HE IS FREAKIN TIRED OF KARMA ARGUMENTS ESPECIALLY ALL THE KRAZY SMACK TALKS.

Hmm you didn't put my idea to the options, that you have to reply and write down WHY you want to smite. Same way like you have to explain why you want to upload a freewin.
Without a good reason you shouldn't be able to smite!
Please think about my idea, too. Remove the smitesystem at all wouldn't be necessary then.
MI, this is very nice, that you always let the whole community decide! + For all your nice work and that you keep improving the tussite always. a
i smite you cause your gay,
i smite you because your retard
i smite you because you look like roseanne,
..........
sorry DEN, your option would create stuff like this
Peja, I disagree actually. I think moderator is smart enough which are BS reasons or not, but it will be hard for moderators to moderate on this. The problem with Dennis's idea is that ppl may come up with good reasoning while the reason is actually a lie. How will moderator supposed to know whether the reason for smite and applaud is a lie or not.

Here is what DoGGy was referring to:
This system should have never exsisted, it never did anything good, never made any sense, never told us any new information. The part of this community with the higher intelligence - which part should be running this league and everything - realized that. The stupid part - excuse me for those who have something for this system and are on the brighter side for sure - wants to keep it, because they are stupid.
There should be no poll for such shit, MonkeyIsland, you should just go ahead and make decisions like this yourself... I never understood this unnatural democracy, most of the times you are giving the decisions to people who should obviously not decide.
There's no question by creating karma system, it have caused lot of problem. Ray's quote, "The poll is going to do show us that there are more stupid people than intelligent people", assumes that anyone who goes for karma system is stupid which is not true. (More has to do with bias and favoritism.) I think karma system is rather interesting system, but the current system is rather flawed. Check my other post and NaiL from another karma topic for more info on why it's flawed. MonkeyIsland, this poll is not a good idea as we're relying on majority vote to makes decision. Some people just don't make a good decision when it comes to stuff like this, and I haven't even voted it yet because I think there are two effectively solutions to this problem: Remove karma entirely or fix flaws for the karma system. I prefer second solution, but it takes more work for the moderators. YOU SHOULD DECIDE YOURSELF as Ray said, but I do believe your final decision should decide largely based only on the good arguments we've had over karma system and your owning rational reasoning. Then make a topic why you make a decision with various reasons stated. Hope that helped everyone.
