well, I figure its gonna be "abused" for the next few days as people play with it like a new toy, but generally, when someone has made a very interesting post, or has made a contribution to the forums, or has just been a really cool awesome person; other people can give them Karma; its kinda like Brownie Points. I unno if it will have any other effects down the road, thats up to the Devs to decide. Hope that helps!
