Tonight the karma system has been implemented! It's a little later than I projected, but it's finally here.
A brief rundown on what it is/how to use it:
The karma system is essentially a poll for each individual post. You'll see two one link under a person's name, rank, and rank icons; one will say "[applaud]" and the other will say "[smite]". Their purposes should be self-evident. It will say "[applaud]", and clicking it will give delicious karma. You can give one karma or take away one karma once per ten minutes.
Now, I know there was some concern about how this feature could be abused. Unfortunately there are no notable preventative measures to ensure that it is not abused, but know that I will be monitoring this closely. I will know foul play when I see it.
Additionally, this system is not an "I agree -- have karma" or "I disagree -- you lose karma" system. Its use is meant for giving karma to posts that contribute in some way to the topic the post is in. While I know some people will use it as if it is an agree/disagree system, know that I will work to balance that out as best I can.
On that note, know that this is essentially a trial period. If we prove that we can't handle this in a mature way, then it will go away.
Now, a few things that need to be discussed:
- How long should the period between voting be? (Currently at 10 minutes)
- How many posts should be required of a user before they can vote? (Currently at 100 posts)
- Should karma be displayed as a total only or separately as a ratio of good karma to bad karma? (Currently displayed only as a total)
- What should the terms be for good/bad karma? (Currently "applaud"/"smite", respectively)
Any other questions, concerns, or comments are appreciated, as always.
Good luck and have fun,
Turboweasle

I would say shprten the waiting period, since some topics get hot pretty fast and posts can stafrt flying in by multiple people. Maybe 2 minutes?
Good going, BTW. I also think 100 posts is decent.

Yeah, shortening the length is probably going to happen. I just put it that way to start considering the... uh... current state of affairs in the ASE. ;D Oh, and I was the first to "applaud" you. W000OO00O0T! This is history!

Good and bad karma should be as a ratio.

 Um, staunch evolutionist scientists will tell you there is no scientific evidence that evolution exists.

How long should the period between voting be? (Currently at 10 minutes) Less than 10 minutes, I agree. How many posts should be required of a user before they can vote? (Currently at 100 posts) Yes, I think this is good. Let them work for privileges.  Should karma be displayed as a total only or separately as a ratio of good karma to bad karma? (Currently displayed only as a total) I like the idea of a ratio. What should the terms be for good/bad karma? (Currently "applaud"/"smite", respectively) I love the word smite...cracks me up. I can't really think of another word besides applaud... I guess it works.

I won't make any changes until tonight so that everyone has a fair chance of seeing this, but so far I'll be shortening the wait time and setting the karma display to a ratio. Thanks for the suggestions.

I may have missed this, but... do people know who has applauded or smitten them?

if it's anonymous, how are you "monitoring this closely?"

I'm not going to go into detail. I will say that I see more than the rest of you.
