anyway, this topic has gone way off topic, and nothing good has come out of it....
well except of course ropas new nick name, Samurai.
so back on topic: since the votes are rather close, i have been thinking of a way to make everyone happy....
in the user panel where you can check if you wanna view recent applauds and smites on your homeback, and recent games etc. there can also be a check box to check if your want to view/participate in the karma system...
all those who do not enjoy it, can leave the box empty, they will never see anyones karma score, and not have the option to smite or applaud
those who are in favor of the karma system can simply heave the box checked, and continue on as if this poll never was created.
