Karma is a little feature of proboard forums that allows us to give points to each other by hitting the exalt button under the avatar of the forumite. You do this whenever a person has said something you find interesting, funny, or otherwise pleasurable, thus rewarding each other for being cool. The smite button is EVIL! Don't use it! Unless you are punishing a flamer. Then its ok. But only then! Smiting creates flame wars, and though those can be entertaining, they sometimes end up destroying whatever thread they started on.
So to sum up, please use your exalt buttons! But please don't smite. Thank you. ;D

Out of curiosity, how low can karma go?

Smiting can go into the negatives. We haven't had an opportunity to see that here, because everybody's so nice. ;D

@_@ Wooow...
I was tempted to smite myself just to find out, but then I realized I couldn't. XD
We ARE nice. @_@ Let's just hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" together. >.<

I confess, I did it. I don't like feeding trolls, but I was curious to see if it went negative.
*Please don't hit me!*

Oh, no no. It was funny. ^^ I encourage the smiting of spammers.

Argh! I missed the spammer too! :: grumble grumble :: didn't get to use any of my mod powers for spammer smiting :: grumble grumble ::
I'd pout, but I'm sure there're plenty more where that comes from...

Yeah. I'm glad we've managed to avoid them this long--and glad that we apparently can eradicate them so quickly. O.o

Query: I used my Exalt button once, and now they've disappeared. Is there some sort of waiting period or something?

Yes, there is some sort of wait. I haven't bothered to determine how long it is, but it's definitely under a day.
