Honestly, I think the karmawhores will leave after they realize there's no quantifier for "success". After browsing around for a bit, the closest thing I could find to karma is that little number underneith my name, or maybe those small circles in the hubwheel. Also, the differences in how the two sites work will deter karmawhores as well. At least, that's what I hope. Edit: Just realized the number under my name is the number of followers I have. I feel dumb.
Edit 2: I just realized further that the number is underneath my name due to a formatting error. dumb x 2.
If you have any questions about the site, definitely let me know. Welcome Kaftke.Honestly, I think the karmawhores will leave after they realize there's no quantifier for "success".
Good. First and foremost, Hubski is a place to share ideas and information. It's not for the garnering of fake internet points. Still, once you've been on the site for a while, you will notice that the "hub-wheel" beside your name will being to populate. Once it makes a full rotation, you will be able to give a "badge" and you will be able to administer community tags.
The other beautiful part is that if somebody is blatantly posting for the sake of gaining followers or to fill up their hubwheel, it's very to ignore them. You can also ignore domains which is a nice feature. It's easy to find an enclave of Hubski that you like and stick to it. Occasionally venturing out on those cloudy days when you feel like seeing some new and different content if you so choose.
