    After all, this is a place of discussion, and not of evaluation.

    This. Passing judgement on each other won't help anything, we don't need a feature specifically designed for such.

    Also, I accidentally hit "modify" instead of "quote" which momentarily caused Kira to appear as though he was quoting his own post inside of it, causing a minor distortion in quantum reality, which has been corrected.

    I was looking up as I was walking home and just realized how... huge everything is, everything but us, we're so small. But yet... I could almost feel it, the spark of life, the thread of fate, a bit of electric sizzle in the stars. I was reminded of death, and thereby of life. I felt alive. I think maybe, if I can just feel that for a moment every now and then, anything else that happens to me is O.K.

    I seen something on another forum and thought to mention it here, in case anyone thinks this is a better idea:

    A forum I'm on uses a reputation system, which is similar to the karma system on Kitsuhana. Each user can give another user one reputation point, which is either negative, neutral or positive, with a comment on why they gave it. You can always edit your reputation point for that user on their profile page, such as turning it from positive to negative and changing the comment. A user can also see a list with their points and the comments on their profile (eg. TheUser: -1: "This user is mean to people").

    If such a plugin exists for this board, perhaps it could be an alternative. Not saying it's better or it should be replaced, but it would make more sense and be easier to use and manage.
    I completely agree with you on this. I've seen the same functionality of the reputation system but it is only available on Invision Power Boards. There might be a plugin for FMS but I doubt it. If we keep this system, it should work like that, or just be removed altogether. Otherwise, what's the point? Anyone can easily just spam a user with positive/negative points every hour or with multiple accounts.

    If we are going to judge people, we should at least do it right or not at all.
