I've administered a number of forums over the years and the karma systems always lead to more trouble than they are worth. Generally they just create small e-kliqs/gangs of guys that negative rep just about anything that their buddies give negative rep to and create elitist groups.
The other half of the equation tends to lead to guys that get pissed off because they were negatively rep'd and stir even more trouble.

Wait, that +24 under my name isn't my Karma? Well, I guess that explains how Malenko made it to a +45. >:D

Since we're all adults*, maybe it could be only a positive support system. So everyone gets their participation trophies, and no one gets their feelings hurt. :'( :hissy: :'(

That happens. Reddit as a whole somehow escaped this, at least on a large scale. Most subreddits have tiny wee baby fights over stupid things from time to time, but those discussions usually die quickly; judicious use of the "ban" feature can squelch that stuff pretty effectively.
