Following up on the other responses, there are two green thumb to red thumb ratios. One affects when you get a karma penalty for receiving red thumbs (the 10% threshold mentioned above), and the other affects how many red thumbs you can give out (I think it's currently one red thumb for every 5 green thumbs, but it isn't in the FAQ). Note that the second restriction on red thumbs you can dole out applies *public* red thumbs, i.e., the ones that can affect karma. There is no restriction on private red thumbs that prevent you from being matched with someone in non-tournament games, but don't affect the recipient's karma.

There are no penalties for either type of red thumb (for the person giving it). You simply can't give unlimited public red thumbs without balancing them with green thumbs. By the way, I like how you refer to them as "general" red thumbs. The term public red thumb seems odd seeing as neither the public nor even the person receiving it can actually see that it has been given. The term is probably meant to imply that it has a public effect, in the form of a karma hit, but the name sounds like the red thumb itself is publicly viewable.desertman wrote: ↑21 June 2023, 23:24 Thank you very much for all the explanations. I'm assuming that "red thumbs" here means general red thumbs, which are meant to be a general warning to everyone, and not red thumbs, which are my personal opinion and basically just mean that I want to avoid a particular player. Is that right? Or will I also be penalized if I try to avoid too many players?
