I know it happens, the good ole boys do rate down intentionally. A couple made it a mission yesterday (first time I posted on that board). Nothing was personal, and they made it personal.
Posted they were going to rate me down and did. Not that it is a big deal to me. But even today I recieved an email from one of them laughing about it.
My point is, I agree the Karma systems sounds great. But when you have people on a power trip and their sole purpose is to run through a thread and rate someone down, you really don't have a moderator at all. You have a bully.
