I just figured out this Karma thing here on DB and I've gotta tell you that I think it stinks in not being able to reply to the Karma granted you by the members. Yes, I'd like to thank someone that gives me a thumbs up on a post and all, (remember my contest now everyone...) and I'd REALLY like to reply to someone that deigns my take on something as an affont to their delicate sensitivities...
...Now sure, I can lower myself to give that person a bad Karma vote, but then things are reduced to just another pissing contest. And Lord knows there's already enough of that. So do we need it, here?

Now, hence why the karma is anonymous rather than posted with someones name. The thing i've worked hard to try and avoid here (and sucessfully as Erik and others have said) is a p*ssing contest. I think my point is proved when you see two members here who disagree, sometime strongly, with each other on FDUK guestbook and AIDAUK mailing list - discuss issues calmly here.
Karma doesn't have to be used - people get positive and negative results from it, although the trend is more along the lines of upwards rather than downwards.
However, as always i'm constantly evaluating the benefits of every feature on the forums so if I ever see that one isn't really being used or is terribly unpopular i'd look to remove it.
