Karma?

I think the idea of this was actually to get away from status (if it ends up being something that sticks around). This could theoretically get away from the over-inflated rep system and put everyone on an even ground. Any user can give any other user whatever ranking they want, and it would give the same amount of "karma".
Just wanted to explain the theory behind it -I know right now it just looks like another meaningless status symbol.
Get back in your hole now!!!!
I kinda like the idea I hear behind this karma thing. Rep inflation occured faster then actual real life inflation. Sad... Very sad.
You had it stuck in your head this morning... I couldn't remember who it was. It was buried about 7 pages back when I got home at 5pm. You guys seriously didn't work at all today did you???
I never realized this is what the singer of Culture Club looks like.
As I understand how this may work out, the top number will be 5, bottom number -5. I think it will work out kind of like the "star system" that Scout has been using, except with negative numbers as well.
I think that's a pretty good comparison. I had it compared to XBox Live in my head, for some reason.
Shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Negative we hate you. Positive we like you. Zero= we dont' care
If this feature replaces the rep system, can we have it set up in a similar fashion in regards to giving feedback to other users (I liked this post because of XXXXX...) or not?
wait wait wait a dang minute ... I've been happily Karming people for 5 minutes now and my credits haven't gone up a penny!
Everything else seems to add credits, will Karming people add it too in the future? should we hold off before going Karm-crazy?

All of these things are popularity contest polls. Next thing you know, we'll have computer rankings for everybody too. Then it will all be combined into a Board Character System. When is Cyclone Fanatic going to wake up and realize we need a playoff system?
I think that's another thing that's under discussion. There are obvious +'s to giving feedback on a post - it lets someone know you appreciate what they say. There are lots of people who abuse it, though, to either harass other members of the board, or to try and stir up trouble. I think that everyone would love to know the board's thoughts!
this seems to be a little different, rather than on a "per post" basis like rep you can kinda rank karma as an overall and change it anytime as you see fit (say they really start sucking up to you, telling you how they've grown as a person in the past few minutes and how Angies eyes remind me of shimmering pools of diamonds and her voice is like an angels song)
