Player karma history

[misakimi]

For a while now we haven’t been able to see a player’s karma history which was always useful when deciding whether to play with them or not and to report.

Is there a good reason we no longer have this information? I’ve finding the number of ‘quits’ has gone up since this and it’s extremely frustrating.

I am not aware of a reason ever being given.

I agree it makes it very hard to decide whether to join a 1-month-long game with a player, since you do not know if their perfect karma is the result of playing a short game 20 times, but also quitting several 1-month-long async games.

In my opinion it should be either leave karma as it is and don't show previous history, or do an overhaul of the karma system that includes games further back in time.

I agree that it does seem limited in use currently considering how easy it is for people to gain back karma. The fact that they didn't do anything in their past 20 games or so doesn't really tell you much about how they might behave in certain situations.
