One more comment - is karma to apply more what a person has posted as a body of work or karma for that particular post?
I am ahead of clone jers!
Jeremy,
I like it much better like that, without the images. Just give us the number.
I actually altered the formulas and coding so the number should stay much lower and not get so inflated.
Test Update
I did a formula to lower the rep values to a more moderate level and am TESTING the images but don't know what people think of them. I think Karma and Rep both have pros and cons but they can be redundant at the same time. Karma is a number given as an average by the other members - you can change your rating of somebody if your opinion of them changes. Rep is a weighted rating based on individual posts/threads/etc.
Jeremy,

It would probably also be beneficial to put a "cap" on the max amount of rep any one person can give out, say 10k or so.
I woild suggest that be applied in both directions - positive and negative.
Is that because of my post in the cave this morning? Awesome.
