I suggest that only post and not one who made this should be considered in giving karma point. Personally, I believe in community and not individual. So, even if you like me but not my particular post, give me minus karma for that.

Karma points are based on contents in a post and not on author of the post. If you like a post, give +, if dislike. give minus. if neither like nor dislike ignore. Always ignore author of post.

Of course, we should give Karma only on the basis of quality of posts only. But, as you told, like and dislike options, if provided in forum, is a better choice. I think it's available in all social networking sites.
When a person receives a lot of dislike comments, it's sure, he will improve. It need not be shown who has given him like/dislike opinion. I think management can think over this

Even i don't think some one can start writing good comments just to see his/her karma and if he/she does it than then he/she is not doing right thing at least i won't change my way for others.And why should I?I would write the content what i like not what other like.That's why i said rating -ve to someone is more beyond liking and disliking.One should think it that if the post is really contributing -vely or +vely. :)

By comments I mean.....quality of posts....never misunderstand them as opinions. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
For a topic, if we can't find two contrasting opinions, how can we continue with active discussion?
I am saying, one should never insult another person's opinions. If so, his karma can be decrease/dislike.
when we say an opinion, we should provide statements to sustantiate it

Sandhya don't need to panic to see it as more you see and think about it more you will get worried. :)

What about my suggestion?
No one supporting me :huh:
