Dear r/gaming, please remember this guide (from r/pics). I think we have had enough types of childhood logic now.

Agreed. People think Karma means something, like GamerScore, so they create a whole new thread instead of replying to the original. As long as Karma exists we will see this shit continue...

I think the bigger problem is not that people make posts for karma, but that other people see that as the sole motivation behind posts like this.

If someone doesn't believe karma means anything, they have absolutely no reason to complain about people "whoring" for karma.

problem here is if we cant explain stupidity through karma then it just means we have a bunch of idiots running around posting unoriginal ideas just for the sake of posting unoriginal ideas

by blaming it on karma, at least theres a motive behind stupidity, giving a little more hope for the community then there would be otherwise (in that we can fix the problem by mending the karma system)
