With reference to your fear of farming of karma, i like RvB's system where any mod, sponsor or staff member can see anyone's karma history, both recieving and giving, so it is exceedingly easy to tell if people have been farming karma, thus karma farming and trading has been practically eradicated, but obviously you get some fools who still do it, only to find themselves banned.
BUT, one of the differences between RvB and here is that RvB has probably 10x the number of moderators that we do here, yet we have probably 10x the number of members, so to keep such a system practical, i think an increase in the number of moderators would be a definite must, even if all it did was reduce the workload of the current mods.
If Achronos felt uncomfortable doing this, perhaps another alternative is to create a level above member but below Ninja, so not the powers to blacklist, but perhaps those to lock or move threads and flag up other users for the Ninjas' attention, for such offences as Karma Farming.
See, it all works out perfick.
I could see this happening. But, personally, I think Achronos has his eye on a lot of members that could potentially be moderators. So, I'm sure he could find quite a few people to give modship too, should the need arise.
The thing I want about the karma system is the rewards. I think I contribute here. Not as much as some, but more than a lot. I would love a custom avie. But, I can't get one, because I have no artistic talent, whatsoever. So theme building is out of the question. Also, a private forum for people with X amount of karma would be nice.
