What should the minimum karma be to access CE?








For those who don't know, CE's Level requirement was raised to 30 today, at least for now as a temporary measure. This is in reference to SBAllen's post, linked below.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80445579

The simple answer is, because the vast majority of low-karma accounts on CE are only here to cause trouble. We have any number of habitual troublemakers who just make new alts every time they get banned (SMaL, catboy, duncan, goats, Tails82, 462, buttsage/LivingLegend, VioletMassacre to name a few), and frankly, the board is much better off without them.

While I agree that the occasional troll topic or shitpost can be entertaining, it's just not fun (or productive) to have the board flooded by users with 3 Karma and 150 active posts who get suspended within a couple hours. We've all been here long enough that the hot takes just aren't funny anymore when we're seeing dozens of them a day, sometimes in the same topic.

And with the low Karma requirement, there's basically no consequences at all for users' actions. There's no reason to bother not getting accounts in trouble when users can freely make new accounts and be active on the board again in less than half a week. While low Karma requirements make sense for game boards, where people just make accounts to ask questions and they're more heavily policed to begin with, CE is almost 100% long-time GameFAQs vets, the vast majority of whom come here daily. Having to go almost two months without access to the board is a much more serious deterrent to misbehavior for CE's userbase than just the current slap on the wrist of a 3-day time out.

Also, as to users moving to other socials...personally, I would make all the socials be at least a month's worth of karma, though I could see making RI's requirements a little looser than CE's, just to give the two boards different purposes.

How about (> 9000) then.

At least you can live with the DBZ Vegeta meme as the base requirement.

30-50 karma is the sweet spot. CE should still be a board that's open to everyone, but it should be made more difficult to earn your access here.

Not as much of a joke as a guy who ran for Congress and got zero votes.

Zero votes. He didn't even vote for himself. Let that sink in for a moment.

Btw, there is no argument here. It's just you whining that you want this board to be exclusive to people that only you approve of so you can "be productive".

You're probably just better off using the block and ignore features, that way you can curate your experience on the site to suit your needs without being so toxic to people you personally don't like.

I'm so sorry I don't want to share a board with people who have criminal records for beating their own families. But hey, you're incel for a reason right?

Hey bover before you randomly accuse people of beating up their family members and accuse people of having criminal records, you should probably know who you're talking to.

Your posts in this topic invalidate the "argument" you've presented in the first post. Karma does not dictate intelligence, competence or good behaviour. You yourself are being toxic and a trouble maker in this very topic.

I've marked your posts and I hope a moderator deals with these outrageous false accusations properly. Get well. This type of behaviour is exactly why 261 was shut down.

This. A 50 karma requirement is perfectly reasonable and the level requirement should of never been removed.
