Probably because it was an old system that everyone was asking about long time ago, so it was stickied for users to take a look at what the karma system was like last time.

From what I see, the karma is no different from a rep (reputation) system I've seen around vBulletin forums. It's both not too bad an idea and a good idea, depending on how the users use it.

Karma was crap. Mine hovered between -2 to +2 for the whole time it was enabled... damn neutrals

Same, I think my highest was +8, lowest -4, though generally about +2. If it does come back, it should be like on other forums where only mods/admins can change them, so that people's karma changes because they done something good for the community or another + worthy effort; rather than being changed because someone did/didn't agree with their view, or someone didn't like the anime series that their avatar is from (with the exception of having a Naruto avatar and/or Ben was a mod, in which case you may be smited anyway).

I like this idea, about the admins/mods being able to change the karma.

Bricks, are you suggesting that you could in fact be willing to consider reinstating karma?

Depends what people want, I've been watching this thread and what people have said

IMO, making it mods-only does 2 things
- Makes karma relatively useless
- makes karma actually more prone to be abused.
