Your post/coding Milestones!

[alexgt]

Does karma have a max?!

[Snektron]

Theoretically yes, but practically not

[alexgt]

How could it be! .

Some, quick! Delete the database so alexgt can have his 1337'th post!

JK,

with the original SMF karma system, you could set your karma to +65535/-65535 so it would always remain at zero

DJ said 65535/-65535 and it would remain at zero or you couldn't add karma so I thought the max was 65535 then???

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yeah, since the negative and positive counts were unable to go above 65535, you couldn't add anymore vote to that user. So yes, there is a max (2 bits unsigned integer)

[alexgt]

I see is there still a max?

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yes, same for our post rating mod, because the post rating mod is tied directly to the karma system.

I did it again on a forum.

I don't think post milestones are very important. I can make anything a milestone. You know, this is my 162nd post! 162 is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of four positive squares in nine ways. Amazing!

dj...

And strontium, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all

All kidding aside,
But it is true, if the milestone is seriously wacked, it should be

[Strontium]

And strontium, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all

I could be a whole lot more negative

This topic is more intended as humor and I think it has been made clear since it exists. While I think that posts about reaching 42, 128, 256, 333, 444, etc, are too much and not milestones in my opinion, I don't think it's that bad when someone reach certain count such as 666, 1000, 1337 (although even 666 and 1337 aren't really true milestones, more like funny numbers). Just as long as everyone don't just start spamming it . In my case I only reached 6666 three times on forums before (the second time was before Omnimaga database merge with the old restored one)

Generally, if you find a topic against the rules (the forum rules, not your own rules), report it to the staff and ignore it. Trying to make everyone feel bad for posting in it is generally not the solution. You can always reprimand if people are being rude but you can't "warn" people for having a sense of humor .

[Strontium]

I never said I thought this thread was against the rules. I was just sharing my opinion about milestones in general.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Ok because it seemed like you were trying to make everyone who posted in this topic feel bad for participating in it. While I understand your reasoning, it seemed kind of unnecessary.

[Strontium]

Sorry.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

No problem. Just making sure you understand
