Well if someone says something profound or that you like or spends a lot of time making a good post you can reward them by clicking exalt and giving them a karma point.
If someone says something offensive or brainless, spams or derails the thread, or otherwise does something you don't like you can punish them by clicking smite and taking away a karma point.
Your number of karma points can be used by other members to gauge whether you are someone worth listening to or just a troll. (except when the Mods have played with them like the -666 points floating around the board now)
Generally speaking all it really shows is how much what you have said on the board was liked by other members. If you say a lot of things that annoy people you will end up with negative karma. If your opinions are popular and/or well thought out/factual you will end up with positive karma.

ah ok. wonder what iv been saying thats crap and offensive. You've said nothing offensive that I can see There are just some folks who don't like successful talented people like yourself and are childish enough to express their jealousy through the "smite" button. And the fact that you are concerned whether or not you have offended anyone is proof it's not you.

-4? Damn, who'd you p!$$ off? I've never seen you in an argument with anyone on the boards. Oh well, here's another point closer to reversing the process.

I honestly have no idea what profound posts I've made. I think people accidentally hit "exalt" 24 times instead of what they actually intended to do ^_^

Got it back to neutral, because I do things.

Not sure why her's was negative either. I don't remember her saying something stupid or offensive.
I mean, I like the smite button and all, but I smite people who deserve it. That or Napoleon the clown.
