I have a visceral negative reaction to all the random things people want to use “karma” for. Also I have no idea what The Nebulous Community (TM) wants to use karma for. It seems to be a “numbers go up people get happier” + anti-spam + anti-troll + “posts and comments have numbers why don’t we sum them” metric. Do I have that about right?
