I don't think the round figures that often show up in karma are at all sinister. The amount a member can award depends on his posting record. I have quite a bit to give away, but I use it judiciously depending on what I feel is the value of a post rather than cutting a corner by offering it all at a click.
Very often, just so that a contributor might easily spot by an obvious round figure and recognise that at least someone found a particular post worthy of a pat on the back, I will try to adjust the karma points I give to produce a figure that results in a final zero or two when registered.
And I do often award karma to interesting, thought-provoking (sometimes mind-changing) posts contrary to my original thoughts on a point. I didn't know before this thread that there was a way of actually tracking the karma-giver, so I didn't realise it could be a tit-for-tat thing sometimes.
So it goes. Karma to all (not it the points-giving sense but merely personal appreciation) to all who've contributed their thoughts to this discussion. Best wishes. Neil
