See where it says [bow] and [kick] right under it?  It's basically a way to provide positive or negative feedback to our members.  As we go on, it will become easier to tell the trolls from those who make positive contributions to the community.

Oh, and just fyi...  I can see the breakdown of who is giving what karma - so anyone who consistantly gives either positive or negative feedback might suddenly log in to find they have been given a "special" title - whether good or bad, it's your choice. 

hehe karma is cool, i was playing around with it before, I want to know who kicked me 
At the moment if you kick someone and bow to them in the same hour it goes -1 then to +1 maybe this should be changed to even it out to neutral.
