It determines whether you'll be reincarnated as a kitty cat or as an insurance salesman.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.

The karma system here is kind of a joke most of the time, really.  It started out as something people could use to applaud posts they found insightful or funny or smite posts they found offensive.  Some people still use it for that, but others like to play with it.  At one time one member liked to applaud or smite to keep all members' karmas at a certain number she liked.  Right now, I think it is a hoot to try to keep McJagger's karma at 69 so I applaud or smite him if he is within a point of it.  As far as I know there is no way to take it off for a single member.  We had a vote whether or not to keep it for the board because some people think it is not good for Aspies, but at that time, a majority of voters voted to keep it.  

If you want to increase someone else's karma, you click the one on the left under their karma which is Yay! at this time.  If you want to decrease someone else's karma, you click the one on the right which at this time is Ghey!.

imho, if your karma is low, then you are doing something right.
Misunderstood.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
