Another nice thing about the Karma system, though, is that it ties to the particular post that inspired the comment. Maybe it's not worth tinkering with after all. You can always set the karma value down to 3 or whatever the lower limit is if you just want to send a friendly note about a particular message.

very good points, and i have to agree that what i like best about the karma system (well, other than the karma fortunes, of course) are the messages. i care more about them than about the points. and i do like that they are tied to the specific post that inspired them ; it makes the response much more concrete.
