Check out ThoughtFix's karma! (Poor guy!)

I haven't been checking lately, but last time I did I think my karma was 7.. at least it's not negative! Anyway, it proves that the number of postings on ITT doesn't matter, lol (and that's fair I think).
As for what it's to be used for, the recent postings about the Maemo Council said something about needing more than 100 karma points (or was it 200? 300? A big number anyway) to get considered.

Well, it's used to help determine who to give device discount codes to, who to sponsor for events and, now, whether you're eligible for maemo.org Community Council candidacy.
I think that karma should stay as interesting but meaningless funny number used primarily for ego boosting. I wouldn't trust it with something more important like device discount program. It can perhaps give some hint together with other input but usage like 'people with karma below x can't apply for discount program' or 'people below x won't get the device' gives me the shivers.
We've seen first such experiment with the community council voting. True that karma requirement was pretty low there but still I think drawing line like this is conceptually wrong.

I would like to see more peer involvement in the karma system though. Each persons profile has a method of giving them a 'thumbs up' and I'd like more people to use this.

I promise I will never click another random picture on a website again if I can remove the black mark I put on my karma by clicking that button on my own profile

I just tried to give you a thumbs up but it doesn't seem to be working? Time for a bug report?

another question about karma:
AFAIK, you get karma for mails on the mailing lists, right? (i can hardly resist to simply forward my spam folder to maemo-users... )
which address(es) count? i can add additional email addresses to your maemo.org profile. - do karma calculations work when i use one of these additional addresses for mailing lists?
(it's an old psychosis of mine to create new mail aliases for lists...)
