Lost 3 seeds....

I lost some today too.

Maybe you have to keep giving them away.  Then you get more back. 

I decided to try and give them all away but I don't come here often enough yet so I don't have enough friends to give them to.   Almost as fast as I can give them away they come back.  So over thelast few weeks  mine have been increasing which is weird since I have not done anything much.

Don't you think someone would program Karma into this thing?

Or maybe its just a bug in the code.  We always have to asssign spritual meaning to otherwise random events :).

I did not know you could give negative feedback.  Somehow seems a negative thing to implement.  Like lets all spend special prgramming effort to make a way for people to be mean to each other.

I don't get it.  What use are seeds anyway?  You give them to people and make them feel good.

For some reason there is a limit to the seeds you can give to one person.  5.

Because the number of seeds you get is related to your received feedback vs the communities' average, it's possible to lose a few if the overall 'center of gravity' of the site rises. Just coming to the site gets you a small bonus (for being an active member), so if you've been relatively inactive you could 'lose a few seeds'.
But seeds don't say anything good or bad about you, they're just a currency of influence and feedback that you can use to reward things you like. if you're inactive in the community, your influence goes down a little. Just like in real life :)
