Karma as in good karma bad karma....It's to show if people like or dislike you really. If you start to get negative numbers then people must really dislike you....I hope that no one will see that on anyone's profile though because it's quite depressing.

Haha, ok, that's what I thought it meant, but I didn't know if it was possible to go negative, lol. Thanks for the quick reply! How is that judged? Sorry for all the questions...haha

When someone posts at the bottom of their info you will see the words smite and exalt. Smite takes away karma points and the other adds them. I think it's up to whether individual members like a post or not. I hope that we will all be careful and considerate when it comes to these points. I would hate for anyone's feeling to be hurt by something as small as karma points.

Aaaah, ok, I see that now. Thanks for the info and I also hope that doesn't happen. I suggest that if you think it may be hurtful to other members that you might want to consider taking it off, if that's possible. I know that it's just a number and it doesn't mean much to me, but it may be different for others on the board. Since we all want this to be a fun, friendly environment I would keep a close eye on that to make sure that people aren't getting offended or hurt by the karma points....just my opinion Thanks for the answers!

I'm on another board where everybody has a lot of fun with the karma. We shouldn't have a problem, hopefully, haha.

I agree with the "turn it off if possible". I hadn't even paid attention to it until now but it is a feature that could lead to problems and I don't see how it could be useful. It's anonymous (I suppose?) so if a person gets negative karma, they have no way of finding out who did it and why. Plus, in my opinion it is a bit pointless to let members "rate" other members, rather than single posts.
But this is just an opinion. I'd just hate for petty stuff like this to make things turn ugly.

I personally don't see what purpose it serves. We will be sure to keep an eye on it though.

I use to be on the Middle TN Band board and a lot of people who weren't liked had negative karma points. I even had negative karma points for telling people that they were acting childish...It was hurtful I won't lie. On the old Cinema Bizarre USA boards we had the Karma turned off.....So it is a possibility, and I too agree that if it starts to get out of hand we should turn it off.
