I thought you wrote "none" and not "nine" so please just ignore my last post.

He wrote nine, but he meant none.

Weird thought: I could be totally wrong about this, but whenever (and I don't look for this to happen,
I can assure you) I hurt myself, I think in my mind that maybe it is HaShem giving me a good deal 
and a kaparah for my aveiras with this pain I am experiencing.
It's a kind of simin for me that I am growing and getting stronger and ready to move forward.
So HaShem is cleaning me up and getting this chov out of the way, in an easy and not lasting way,
as a huge chesed to me. I sinned and did the wrong thing. And now, maybe days or weeks later, I
go through this tzar and massive (but thankfully temporary) pain for it.

Well, this just happened to me again. And it was with my hand, which to me makes the message
loud and clear. Is there a source for this? Does anybody experience this? Am I crazy? (maybe 
don't answer that last one).

Have a great day!

I'm hosting the karma list privately, so whoever wants to join the party is invited to that Google Doc in my signature

Im not prepared to see cordnoy and Gevura go from 280+ to zilch. My karma I don't care about

CZ - good to see you figured out how to post a quote,

KOPAT!!

Mark, can you please explain?
Nobody would go to zilch.
What do you mean the system crashed?
If I understand correctly, there just wouldn't be a karma point system anymore, 
where people could judge other people's posts...and even make them feel bad by giving
them a -1 when they are essentially here for support and encouragement.

Shlomo, you wrote something about 10 days ago, that was fantastic,
and I just read it again, and want to thank you for that insight and perspective:

"The 90 day program isn't a 90 day program. If it's a 90 day program then it won't be successful.
Life isn't 90 days long and victory over lust isn't 90 days long.
I have seen countless times someone pass 90 days and then act out later.
The line in the sand that is drawn is quite misleading.
I don't believe that surpassing 90 days means that someone isn't going to act out. 
But if someone utilizes the tools of the 90 day program then they may definitely have success.
Life is one day at a time and if the tools are used one day at a time they can be really helpful.

I would give it a shot and make an honest effort. But the 90 day challenge doesn't mean
just entering the "race." It means doing something different than before.
For some that means daily posting or calling other strugglers.
For others that means reading various literature the GYE and others recommend.
Still others set boundaries on when they use their smartphones.
Some do all the above and more.
But regardless there needs to be a change in action in order to actually change."

It feels as though someone went and minused cordnoy and Gevuras posts big time

What should have taken one thousand eight hundred hours to minus their "Love you" karma, happened in a 2 second splat

Now the system has actually not crashed, although it's not shown in the forum (email me if you want to know where to see it)

I want the karma to be returned to the forum and adding karma allowed

Until then, Uncle Google has an open house for us ;-)

Yosef you may have more protectzia - maybe if you ask the admin for plussing karma capability and no minusing, it might be returned

I don't understand.
I look at this website on a laptop, and it still shows points, 
and a button to plus and minus someone's post.
Gevura has 260 and Cord has 293.

I don't know what browser you're using, but on chrome, and mobile, the points have been removed from Gevura and Cord...

Here's what it says on a computer using chrome:

I think one of us just entered the twilight zone...
I just can't figure out who!

totally in sync with you on all accounts and about the crazy thing a rebbe of mine once told me (about a totally unrelated topic) either you are crazy or you think the world is crazy and you have to be crazy to think that but that doesn't mean you are wrong!!!!
so it may not be a bad thing to be crazy:laughing:

i'm using mozilla firefox and i also can't see the karma

why does sometimes i see the emojis and sometimes it gets spelled out?

I'm taking it as a sign to go about living my day in reality,
and get off of the computer.
Have a great day and Chanuka Somayoch!

You probably have old cookies (donuts) because you haven't signed out of gye

Next time out sign out you'll probably not see the points either, and will join us in the twilight zone

SSo in simple English what happened to the karma point I gave Yosef last night, and what about the one I want to give to Quiet right now?
