Social experimant: I do not have enough smites soooo...

[briansquibb]

oh yeah the aussie team is really hitting their straps and coming together nicely there is some seriously good talent in the aussie side now and that last test series was wonderfull to watch especially since the ashes debacle as brian so kindly pointed out

It is only the winning you remember, I had 30 years of failure to forget

yeah but one of your supermodels took our best spinner and turned him into a handbag!
OK you win!

She was just an average English girl. We are going to send 15 stunners over just before the next ashes match to emasculate the Aus team We will need every bit of help we can for our own handbags. Perhaps we can import some more players from South Africa

Oh boy, not the 7D Gestapo! Unless you wanted to get smited into oblivion, don't you dare even hinting that there might be some advantages in IQ of a full-frame sensor over a crop.

Here's a hint: the problem's not with the opinion (they're like arseholes - everybody's got one), it's the pompous, condescending, "I-know-better-than-you", elitist, arrogant way it's usually presented.

Smite away...

In the context this was, to me, just a jest. We have been poking fun at each other through this thread as we clearly dont take the applaud/smite too seriosly

Sorry if you didn't realise that

Can you drop 1 more en route to Aus?

Wonder if it is possible to add how many applauds and smites a member has given under their karma? Exposure might decrease the will to smite and we get to see the big time smiters ;D

HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY ANYONE WOULD WNAT A 5D OVER A 7D. OF ANY KIND.

It's really simple Ardea, the full frames take better pictures. Clearer, sharper, better color rendition. Which is why I just sold my 7D and replaced it with an old used 1Ds MkII.

8 frames per second of soft images is simply 250MB of wasted space on a card. 4 frames per second of perfectly clear awesome images? Priceless!

Been through 20D, 30D, 40D, loved the 5D and now shooting with 5D MkII and 1Ds MkII.

Its not possible.

Here is the entire instruction manual, all one paragraph of it.

Karma mode - This option is to select how the karma feature will be used in the forum:
Disable Karma - disables the use of this feature
Enable Karma Total - makes SMF show only the total of points received
Enable Karma Positive/Negative - shows the positive points as well as the negative points for the user
Set the minimum posts needed to modify karma: admins can set a minimum posts that a user must have before raising or lowering someone's karma
Set wait time in hours: this is the time that an admin specifies, before a user can modify karma again
Restrict administrators to wait time: this specifies whether or not the forum administrators are restricted by the time limit
Karma label - here administrators can define the label that will be shown for the karma field in profile and posts (default karma
Karma applaud label - the text that will appear in the link for increase the karma of a user (default [applaud])
Karma smite label - the text that will appear in the link for decrease the karma of a user (default [smite])

Thank you for the info! It seems I also got a smiter, keep getting a smite each day lately, even without posting anything

Brian was right. I started with the 7D Gestapo thing as a light hearted joke. I'm a little sarcastic by nature and it's not easy to detect tone over the net. We (myself included) all have to learn not to take the internet too seriously.

Please don't restrain yourself - knowing of the 7d gestapo and the ff kgb has made this forum more lovable to me, but maybe that's because of my bad Karma

;D very true.

I ran into a Medium Format MI-6 agent at the pub the other day. He was surprisingly polite and well-mannered.

While you two ladies go at it, I have another social observation that's troubled me for quite some time. Why is it that the Brits and Aussies, or Brits and South Africans for that matter, seem to have a closer kinship that with we Americans? Aren't we all products of Mother England ?

You took our tea - and we haven't forgiven you yet. One day you will come grovelling back and beg us to teach you cricket ;D ;D ;D

Who needs cricket? Just send over Naomi Watts and Sienna Miller, and my fellow countrymen and I will be happy campers. We'll even ship Russell Brand back to the U.K. as part of the deal
