[Sticks]

In a contentious thread where there are differences of opinions, it seems that people are giving negative karma to those they disagree with.

When I have given negative karma it is because the person either used a racist word, thereby putting the forum in a violation the TOS with the hosting company, or they have contravened forum regulations. Who am I to judge if a post is bad, if I mearly disagree with it.

If we must have this feature, then it would be nice if the person giving karma would then have to write in a small box, why they are awarding the karma point. Then we could see the reasons and possibly appeal.
