Why don't we try it again? Maybe it won't get so out of hand this time? Edit: Just a thought, don't flame on me.

It really doesn't matter. You can get a lot of Karmas by putting an attracting sig and linking it to your Exalt button =P I am on both having and not having it since it doesn't really matters to me.

Maybe to solve this problem, have a code so that people can select yes or no in their profile to allow people to see and alter their karma if they wish... that might solve both problems

Karma is pointless. It is hardly ever used for what it is supposed to be used for. Most people exalt friends and staff (usually to get on their good side) and smite people for no apparent reason.

Surely it wouldn't add to much of the loading time, something like if selected no then don't display, if yes then enable.
Besides, there is only 10 topics and posts per page i think so it wouldn't be that much longer, surely?

But it would increase it. I'm at between 5 and 10 seconds a page right now (Ever since the offsite js was added) and I don't want to have to wait anymore.

I honestly think that it doesn't matter, and it would be too big of a hassle to have it back.

Only provide the "Exalt" button. So if people don't want to exalt, than they don't have to, becuse there will be no smite button. And another way to do it is that only the staff can exalt or whatever. . .

On or Off. Just pick one, no modifications. It's not a big deal anyway, it's just a little extra thing that means nothing.

Problem is though, why risk increasing loading times and extra work for something that most people see as having no meaning.

Look at it this way, if karma doesn't mean anything, then why have it? Especially when you're talking about increasing loading times. 'Specially for those that have dial up.

With it will come complaints, and with complaints will be staff replying saying it doesn't matter and blahblahblah, and with that comes it being turned off again.

Yes but it's easy to get around and I don't really feel like handing out warnings and the like for smiting people.
