Haha I feel dumb, because I swear I asked about this, or I saw it somewhere... but can anyone tell me what Karma is? I randomly have one and I don't know how. Is it bad or good? I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, I looked and I couldn't find it!

If you do something for me out of the goodness of your heart that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, then I should up your karma number by clicking on [Exalt] . Likewise if you screw me around, lie, cheat, steal, *insert one of 7 deadly sins here*, etc. then I may put your karma down a number, or maybe 100 if I'm grouchy by clicking [Smite] . Muahahahahaha

We went through such a Krazy Karma Karnival a while ago that I got out of the habit of giving karma. Sorry for anybody I left out.

I was thinking of using the puppet from Saw as avatar just to see if it affects my karma. But it could cause second thoughts when I ask people for their shipping address.

Seriously...I think the system is totally pointless. It just seems like a cheap attempt from proboards to copy the flagging system used in other powerful forum software such as the one here: forums.eagle.ru/index.phpthe forums uses a reputation system which is more powerful and reasonable. The way it works is: It limits the voter from assigning more points, It gives a text box which allows the user to comment on the reason for the point addition or removal and this can only be seen by the end user who is being reviewed. The reputation goes up as your post count goes up. THe system gives a way of showing: experience, influence (you get more reputation only if a lot of people vote positively) and htis is more functional and meaningful. In comparison...the proboards karma is just a cheap counter. There is no limit....there is no restriction. There is no underlying calculation system. I think from what I have read on the forum, the karma system was meant to show reputation so that it gives a idea that the "user" can be dealt with in trades etc. But the system now is just being mis-used and has completely lost its purpose.
