When we outed someone's "true" identity awhile back- I decided to steal her points to screw with her, but it took the amount of points she had away from me and reset my karma to 0.
It used to be that Catherine and I were the only ones who had tried to thieve from a user, but damn- I just looked at the list, and there's now like 35 attempts (most unsuccessful, but a small number of successes)... We went crazy thiefing to see how it works (not well). Then we realized we lost our karma. I tested the x reps = 1 karma, but it didn't work. I had 3 reps & 3 karma. Then I got 50 reps & I have 4 karma. Currently I think karma has to do with how long you are a member and probably other stuff. I saw someone with a lot of karma & not a lot of posts, but they joined a long time back. Seeing your 0 karma confused me, but now that I know about the point stealing it makes sense.
I had a big discovery yesterday. When you post a template & someone downloads it, you get the 50 points the lose.
Someday I will know all the secrets of the forum.
