They probably should get rid of the karma button. When karma is at a 33% rate of post and the post were not that great but they have improve something isn't right . And taking away karma for having a opinion is also wrong as long as it wasn't slanderous. I myself was at -2 for a long time didn't even realise about the smite button. I'm on the positive now for how long?? guess. I have my on ideas why and the karma is for something in the future if I'm right and if that's the case control what is happening now before it is out of control. Again my measly opinion.
