How is this any different than a strange user with lots of karma compared to a strange user with little karma? smh

This mostly. If I do it's for troll topics to confirm they're just alts.

It's easy to tell who's fuckin around on an alt when they have 20 karma and like 200 active posts. Usually the post itself is obvious but checking that helps confirm it.

Low karma accounts are pretty much always throw-away troll accounts that aren't worth reading. If you have 20 karma and 200 messages you're probably a boring troll.

Not sure what karma is, or how you get it. I see people who's accounts are half as old as mine, with nearly double the karma.

Only if they're shitposting on a super saiyan level and then you check their account and they're a brand new user. Chances are it's hoth and you need to press ignore.

it's honestly creepy how deeply most of you seem to look into peoples' account history

a low karma user with a ton of posts doesn't indicate anything, you're just allowing it to confirm your biases

Step 1: click on username
Step 2: read brief summary of user information
Step 3: see if there's an extensive post history

I mean that takes about 6 seconds, and it's worth it's weight in gold if it means not getting drawn into a stupid argument with someone who's only goal is to irritate you.

You don't have to dig into anyone's post history. Just click the dropdown arrow next to someone's name and their account details appear. When someone spouts off a bunch of nonsense and their account was created 10 days ago, it isn't unreasonable to assume that person is a troll and an alt of an existing CE member.

EXACTLY ESXACTLY EXACLY!!! caps

Judging a poster based on their karma is just as reductive as judging based on usernames, accusing people of being alts, and "sigless user logic" to any kind of intelligent conversation. Use the ignore feature, or just don't interact with these people, if they cause you so much emotional stress. No need to be inviting negativity into your life, when you probably already have enough that you aren't even asking for.

Pretty sure that was a joke.


where's the joke at, lol? this thread indicates an alt account was created recently with low karma and a bunch of active posts. i'm the complete opposite of that. bad joke i guess

It's less "hah, they have 10 karma, they're a shitposter!" and more "hmm, there's a bunch of shitposting going on here by this user, I wonder if their account looks suspicious".

That might sound overly involved but honestly, it's the best way I've found to not get involved with someone.

While I'm not trying to "call out" pinky, he's a good poster, yes you should be able to judge any post by it's content not the poster. And a huge reason why this forum is the way it is. A lot of people immediately dismiss people based on past posting history and not the post itself that is in front of them.
