Ideally they would. But so many asshats began sending crap just to harass others, and usually not signing it, it became a hassle.

Now if I had a lot of red karma then did anything happen, like I'm froze from the forums or something? I don't see what the fuss is all about.

No. Nothing happened. It didn't make you look better or your breath smell fresher or put more money in your bank account. Many people had maxed out their green so their points could go no higher but they could still receive comments. And then there were those who hit the bottom of the tank... Being red usually didn't stop them either.

Remember when you were in kindergarten and your teacher would put shiny stars and smiley faces on your work to make you feel good, even though it had nothing to do with your grade? Karma is the equivalent of that - only for adults.

Yep...some people took Karma personally, I don't think it caused any suicides though, perhaps a few attempts, but no one died.

That's probably the best description. And if you were a kiss ass kid, you got lots of stars.

I prefer when you deliver your karma to me in person anyways.
