OK, so as an ardent game player and natural pedant, I need the rules and scoring sysem of this 'karma' thing explained to me - can I find it on the site somewhere?
To start with: I seem to get a karma point just for making a comment.. is that right?
(or is my mum on-line here upvoting my every post)
It's the vote total of all your comments & posts. Lots of info and opinion on it is here.
No, you are. It upvotes on your behalf.
You currently get a karma point just for automatically upvoting your own comment. This is scheduled to be fixed, but it's low-priority.
I also tried manually upvoting my own post - just t see what would happen.
Never never do that.
======== More seriously - shouldn't you get Karma from people REPLYING to your comments? Lots of Karma - I mean: someone upvotes me - that's nice - but someone actually REPLIES to me - wo hoo!
Your own comments have an automatic upvote applied to them - this works like any other upvote. If you click "Vote up" after you've already voted something up, it cancels the upvote. You can (potentially) determine whether you've currently voted a comment up or down based on whether "Vote up" or "Vote down" is in boldface.
Trolls and flamebait get lots of replies too, and that shouldn't count towards karma.
