Hi Turbulent, I have an idea for Karma. If you're insistent upon implementing Karma, then do not tie it to forum activity. Instead tie it to Issue Council activity. Something like: reporting a bug is 2 karma points. Validating a reported bug by someone else is 1 karma point. Having your bug validated 10 times gives you 5 karma points. I'm not sure what the point of karma is. But if I were reading forum posts and a I saw someone with lots of karma (under this Issue Council connection), I would respect their posts a lot more because I would know that they've actually spent time working at making our game better.
