Read this before you ask me for Karma donations

Okay, yes, I do have a lot of karma to spare but no, that does not mean I want to give it to you.

Here's why:

1. Define Karma: the cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in according to that person's deeds, according to dictionary.com.

Key words: that ious deeds.

What have you done to deserve these Karma points? If you can give me a good answer, I will give you points. Do not just ask me for points - tell me why you think I should give them to you.

2. Everyone started off with a new account at some point. You earn karma by commenting on stories, writing stories, or by buying points and funding the app project.

If everyone else can earn Karma patiently this way, why can't you? Yes, that does mean it takes time to gather a lot of points - patience is a virtue.

Please know that I am not attacking anyone in particular. I get a large number of messages in my inbox asking for karma points and I always have the same reply: you should earn the points yourself. It's fairly frustrating when strangers whom you have never even talked to you before just ask you for karma points.

Here, then, are times when I WILL give karma points:

1. Winning the writing contest that chibi and I host (and will be bringing back)

2. Check to see if I am subbed to one of your stories. This might seem kinda weird but I would totally be up for giving karma points for more updates most of the time.

3. Tell me why you think you deserve the points.

I look down on people who resort to begging when they have the ability to earn their own keep.

Just wondering, what do the karma points do? :O

I think people should not be doing this it's rlly shameful. I mean Karma points aren't very important in aff there's lots u can do even without them. I agree with you.

I never understood the idea of asking for someone's karma; I mean, it's like equivalent to asking for money, since karma is AFF currency. How shameless do you have to be to do that, and for what purpose? Advertising your fic? Just promote it yourself is what I say, or be satisfied with what you have.

I don't have a lot of Kp but begging never crossed my mind. I don't know... when I saw some wall posts on other users asking for karma i was mildly shocked.

I had a lot of people asking me for karma too. my solution? "hiding" my karma so people can't see how much I have. works like a charm. (y)

just curious - why are so many people asking for karma? I know you can change your username but that's all I can think of. I agree with your mentality, unless someone I knew or someone who is deserving I would only then, give them karma. It seems a bit rude to hound people for something as trivial, to me.
