I'm going to risk an insult now by jumping in here and just pointing something out which perhaps Garinda is not aware of as he wasn't there at the time. The day the Stag closed down a few of us were there (Roy nearly set the place on fire but that's another story) chatting about this and that and the other and the subject of karma came up. Roy stated there, in person, with several of us present, that he likes the system exactly the way it is and he will not be doing anything to change it. He had mentioned to me privately once that if he had time he would look into the possibility of splitting the amount of awardable karma but he will not change the anonymity. If you get an insulting, offensive or defamatory remark in a karma comment it should be reported to mods, not posted on the open forum, likewise with PMs. They are private and intended to remain private and they should stay that way.

I do sometimes query a negative karma when the comment that goes along with it doesn't seem to make a ha'porth of sense in relation to the post it links to. I do so in the hope that the person who gave it may explain their logic, but they never do. Of course if they did then that would remove the anonymity which they are perfectly entitled to
