@neilmarr: I would vote no to getting rid of 'karma'. I think you're right that it doesn't fulfill it's raison d'etre too well. It has been too complicated a concept for that single purpose. But I find that that complication adds a richness to this forum that I would miss if it was removed.
And karma to you for keeping things interesting and healthy around here by bringing unsavoury topics to light. It is much appreciated on this end. |

Maybe you are much less emotional than me but I am touched when a member gives me karma and leaves a note - sometimes it's a thank you for a comment, a news article, or a simple "you really made my day a little brighter." It's good to be serious - and I've given much karma to Worldwalker in appreciation for his in-depth, well thought out, serious posts - but it doesn't have to be serious all the time. All work and no play can make Neil a dull boy. ![]() |

This has been a really interesting thread. I never would have guessed that it would garner so much attention. Perhaps I am a bit too laissez faire...dunno.
As someone who has inexplicably benefited from the largesse of others despite being here a relatively short time, I do enjoy the karma system. Still, if it were to disappear tomorrow, I am not sure how much I would miss it. But I will continue my personal practice of throwing out K to folks who make me laugh, who post a clever turn of phrase or who simply make me think, "Huh...". FWIW... ![]() |

"Er war ein Mann der Frauen
Frauen liebten seinen Punk"] No, no, just stop it, Mr. Phogg. Some of us have these songs on the devices we're using to write this very sentence, and pretty soon I'll end up wasting away the morning dancing and singing along to Ça Plane Pour Moi, its covers, and its Jet Boy Jet Girl origins, or perhaps the many variations of Popcorn also held in my music library. No karma for you! Cheers, Marc (oh, okay...I can't stay mad at someone who so readily quotes Falco ![]() |

I have no clue what is this karma about and how does one get it. I very well know the meaning of this Sanskrit word.

As one of those with small karma I suppose I shoud feel left out but instead of posting all the time I read and learn and appreciate the site and all the posters who educate me.

Everyone is just trying to get as much karma as they can before karmageddon.
You know it's going to happen in 2012! |
