But to be honest, I give more negative than positive. I'll give negative for grammar or spelling errors and especially for starting pointless bleedin threads and having titles like "Wow" or "OMG" without giving any more detail 
Only change I would ask for is to be able to give both one positive and one negative karma each hour instead of just one of either. But it's not a major problem!
I guess people can simply turn it off if they don't like it or if they're not as popular as they hoped.

I have to say that Karma should NOT be deducted based on peoples spelling! As has already been said there are many people here who have problems that would affect their ability to spell things right.

Well I read the new rules of karma and didn't see anything about that, but I've been trying anyway to figure out a way to make my policy on spelling errors more able to reflect the 10% who are dyslexic, I don't want to be seen to be discriminating or anything!
So as Red said, if the board is an accurate representation of the population, then about 10% are dyslexic. So from now on, when I see a post that has committed serious crimes against the english language, I'm gritting my teeth, fighting back the urge to post and tell this person how so so wrong they are and I'm just about to hit that -Karma button, for one person in every ten I will say no, maybe it's not their fault, and give postitive karma to someone else instead.
I think that's a much fairer policy and it'll cover the 10%
