I just realized I'd accidentally penalized someone without realizing it. Just so you know, in case you care, I don't tend to use karma points punitively, at least not on purpose. I use them positively when someone amuses me, if they were particularly gracious in a situation, or if I just feel like being nice. So if you find I smited you, I wasn't doing it as punishment or being nasty. A while back I teased Opty for deducting a few points from me, which it turned out he was doing accidentally while scrolling on a mobile device. Apparently, it's easy to do and I've been doing it, too. Anyway, sorry if I did it to you. Don't go around thinking I hate you. I mean, maybe I do, if you're Angie or something, but that's not why I smited you. |

What's a karma point?

Like wokeness, but less hip. |

I mean, if they were for wokeness or hipness, I obviously wouldn't have any.

On the other hand, when I smite you you can be certain I meant it. Heartily. And with fire.

Seriously, how does one award Karma points?

I just have to say, given that karma is a law of moral causation, where one's good intentions lead to good events and bad intentions to bad events, the notion of "accidentally" taking karma points sounds suspect to me.
The person who got the deduction in points probably kicked a puppy or something, when you weren't looking.

Look just under someone's avatar. You have the options of "exalting" them or "smiting" them.
As Rob noted when he added that option, we hope members will have fun with it and won't abuse it by constantly smiting people just because they disagree with you.

Or because they're Cassandra and you are entertained by the notion of smiting her over and over to see if she can get negative karma... Not that I'd do that or anything.  |

Pfft. You and I both know he disconnected your ban button and just let you keep thinking it was working.

As opposed to starting a thread, I mean. Just saying. Or maybe you weren't talking about me. In which case.... .... swords at dawn. |
