My karma was at 53 when I went to bed lastnight, sometime in the early AM. I wake up at around 11:30 and see it's at 52. Alvin gives me a karma to fix it and it goes back to 53. I come back in from class and I see it's now back at 52 - what the flogging molly?
Any ideas as to how this happened?

Yes. Mods are aware of how this is happening and are working on a fix. Will PM you.

I was wondering what was happening, 2 days ago my karma was at 20, then it went to 19, and now it is 20 again. You can still see the smite button a couple milliseconds after you reload a page, but it doesn't do anything if you press it.

I can't speak for everyone, but I would prefer we just don't worry about trying to smite each other. Like I said, the mods know how it's happening and are looking for a fix. It's Paul's wish that we don't smite - that's why he did away with the ability to do so. Let's respect that and not go looking for how to smite each other.
If you are smote, bring it to our attention and we'll help you rectify that - it's not hard.

I still have the magic button when I browse with my cell phone. I believe my browser is IE4 and it's on Windows Mobile 5. I'll check some other browsers and see what I come up with; it definitely doesn't show in Safari. And just for the record, it wasn't me this time.

On a related note, I'll tell ya what: We can manually put your score at whatever we want it to be, so if the new you is still that concerned about your karma score, tell me and I'll ask Paul if I can set it to whatever you want. 1000? 1,000,000? Whatever.

Ok, I've fixed the bug - so now the 'cheating' way of finding the smite button has been removed and it shouldn't show up at all. I have also added the ability to opt out of the karma system, so for those of you who don't like it or want to be involved in it - you can simply choose to opt out when you modify profile. So hopefully, everyone is happy. If anyone is genuinely missing a karma point or two from this mini fiasco, let me or one of the other mods know and we will restore it accordingly. Cheers, - Paul

I still see the button, but I won't bother testing it. May or may not opt out, undecided. Glad the option's been added, though.

Glad someone took this up, have been wondering about it. Thats worth a +karma to Rammstein I think. And one for Paul making it possible to take the whole thing away.
A similar system was used on another forum I know of and most of the people did´nt liked it. Became more of who knew who, and a possibility to "smite a person without reason or without having to motivate it or stand up for it. Yes, something just for fun perhaps but was taken far more serious than it was meant to be. But that´s of course different how it works on different boards, so I can´t say I generally dislike it either. However, a good thing it´s no longer possible to smite people anonymous.

I don't even pay attention to my karma, so I do not know of my karma rising and/or dropping.
