As one of the few non-karmillionaires I would stay that the quantity given has no bearing on the gift so really setting a max on it does not make sense. Its the giving and the comment associated with the giving that matters most.

How is Karma correctly acquired?

I got jumped on for bringing this up in another thread, but I've been noticing the past two or three months that a small but sizeable group of newbies, many sporting less than 100 (some less than 50) posts have karma over 100,000.

I'm also noticing that some of them have *exactly* 100,000 or 125,000 - something I've never seen in my two years of posting here.

Since some of these are obvious trolls (they do nothing but snipe at the regulars), I'm suspecting sock-puppeting, or worse.

Even some of the most helpful posters here don't have that amount of karma.

I'm mathematically inclined - I notice the rate that karma normally 'accretes' - there's something funny going on here.

Some member of the forum clicks on the tab marked Karma on one of your posts, writes (or not) a comment, and there you are, you have acquired it. By all means correctly.

matthew if someone likes what you posted because it was helpful or especially in this thread because it was funny or just because they are bored or any other inane reason; then they can give you karma by clicking on the blue karma button under your avatar.
A box pops up with a space to add a comment. The amount of karma you can give grows with your length of time on MR, your post count and your own karma count.
To see who has given you karma go to the top of the screen and under the MR icon if you click on User CP you can read the messages that came with your karma.
There is a message from me there now!

Edit: Hmmmm beaten by beppe - I really need to learn to be more succinct!
