If you’re going on vacation or you’ll be having an abnormally busy week and won’t be able to Plurk like you normally do, you can temporarily freeze your karma.
Freeze Your Plurk Karma
That’s right, I said it. Stop Karma Loss, like Stop Hair Loss, but for Plurkers. It’s easy to do once you know where to find it but honestly, I think Plurk should make it easier for people to find. You can find it at the bottom of the settings page.
You check the checkbox and you confirm your absence. I’ll warn up front though that doing so will cause you to lose 1 karma point which is probably to deter people from abusing the feature. Also, the delete button is just a bit below the I’m on vacation, hold the karma button so be careful to not click that.
Keep Your Karm
I haven’t used the feature yet but I imagine that if you plurk, your vow of silence will be broken and you’ll back to losing karma for idle hands. A lot of plurkers no doubt have laptops or some other mobile way of connecting to Plurk but I’m sure this will help people anyway.
I just wanna ask if the karma point is just the small percent. Okay, you don’t get it :)) But for example, when you froze your karma, it’s 65.90 will the 1 point be lost as 65.89 or 64.90? Please reply :)
To be clear, you loose one entire point, so if you have 65.91, you will have 64.91 after you freeze your Karma. Plurk may have changed since I last used it in May, however.
It’s now 0.50 points you lose when freezing.
