The odds of one person having karma ending in 3 zeros is 1/1000.

The odd of two random people having karma ending in 3 zeros is 1/1,000,000

Given the number of people just in this thread with karma ending in 3 zeroes - well, the odds of that are truly 'astronomical'.

So, something is going on -

1) sockpuppeting and/or collusion
2) hacking
3) a glitch in the karma system
4) someone with a lot of karma is intentionally rounding people's karma off

This sort of thing is *highly* unlikely to be random.

Since gastan and Tomekeeper have noticed something wrong with their own karma, I'm now less inclined to think it's number 1, although that does remain a possibility coupled with number 4.

Pdurrant, did you round my karma off? You're the only person who gave me karma since I took a screenshot of it yesterday.
