Rep can be kind of random. Look at me; I'm at 37 as of posting this, but nothing of that have actually come from what I figure are my most helpful/interesting posts (the Terraining FAQ, my Terraining tutorial and the WTE posts).
Would I get punished for abusing karma (such as finding every single of Neonsz posts and liking them). What if I feel bored out of my mind and start raising someones karma in order to make that person feel uncomfortable about ridiculous amount of rep he suddenly acquired?
I'd prolly tell you off for it if I found out, but it's not like any of us really care. Karma's a bit like a boardgame - it's up to the participants to stick to the rules. Since mapster isn't 4chan, I think we should be ok. I hope so anyway.
That's the wonderful thing about karma; you thumbs up whatever you feel deserve a thumbs up. Whether that's a funny remark, something you agree with or a classy reference you caught is up to you. Karma is supposed to represent the 'general reputation' or 'how well someone is liked in general' for a person, keeping in mind the fact that this doesn't mean low-karma people are automatically not liked. Since bad karma doesn't exist in our perfect little world here, you can generally do as you please with the system.
