I think it might be a nice idea to take away the SMITE option on your Karma or perhaps have a FORCED PRIVATE MESSAGE, where the person exalting or smiting the person would give reason for it.
I make this suggestion because i was looking at my profile and saw i had been smited. -1 it states.... and i do not know who would do this and what i have done so wrong to someone for them to smite me. It makes some people (like myself) unhappy because someone out there does not like them and doesn't have the courage to voice this to that person.
So basically, being able to smite people is I guess in a way, childish. Which I might sound like I am being since I do make this comment because someone in fact smited me, but, nevertheless, its rude.

... karma is a pointless number. It will have no effect on your life now or ever (well, it shouldn't at least). If you do let it get to you so much, then, er... you need a few cookies.
*gives you some cookies*
People probably go around randomly smiting people. I go around randomly exalting people sometimes over the hours.
Just for you, I'll exalt you. Just get over this nonsense... it's pointless really. Karma has no meaning really. Some people exalt others more, some people smite others more. Woohoo.

Karma is generally to give people credit for a good answer, being helpful, or polite. Of course, you can take away credit from people who are rude, break tons of rules, etc. Some people go overboard with it, and don't use it properly, so don't worry about it.

It's not rude and obnoxious. It's a number. Just like your posts. Your post count doesn't matter: it doesn't make out who you are. Neither does karma.
You shouldn't be taking it so seriously.

For those of you who are against it, perhaps you should simply ignore it? It allows members to rightfully reward other members of this forum for good posts and actions (even if it is abused). As has already been said, it's a bit of fun and could be seen as a pointless number - so, as it's so pointless, you won't mind if it stays. Exactly, I agree with you 100% percent. If the number bothers you so much, then simply forget about it. You're proving yourself to be no more than immature if you fret and complain about a little number. Most people have fun with it, enjoy just seeing it go up and down, knowing it means absolutely nothing. SSD won't be making anything based off of karma, so don't worry. You won't go into a board and see that you much have ## of karma to participate. Nope, we don't even like putting post limits on things. All in all, hush up and grow up.

I'm on -1005 Karma, does that make people hate me or love me? UC is on -300,000,000 but everone still loves her. It's interesting to see what karma everyone has.
Making a big deal about the karma feature being pointless just brings more attention to it. It would be good if only staff members had karma but that's just an idea.
Voting who wants and doesn't want karma would be good. A poll could be placed on SSD's main website page.

Like most people have already said, it's only a number, it doesn't mean a thing. I have over 100, but it doesn't mean anything to me.

Karma is an utter waste of energy. I'm suprised people can be bothered to smite people. Just ignore it, it really doesn't matter.

Karma's barely to be taken seriously. Plenty of us just mess around with it. I sparked a trend where folk would try to get to a certain negative number in a certain amount of time without having an admin mess with their karma number... just have fun with it. It's just a running total where people can add or take away 1 from it. If you hate the fact people click the smite button, just tell yourself they're too dimwitted to count past 1.

Exactly - it's just a fun add on and if it is this important to you, just remember, it's only a number based on people clicking a link. It's not as if people hate you. It's all good hearted fun. *smites c130* Hmm, I got smited. Oh well.

*Exalts Ryan* It would be good if only staff could smite or exalt members.
