Kharma is offerd out for helpfuls posts/ threads/ answers to questions or just for being fun etc.. atleast thats how it was explained to me... to get more Kharma being a positive member of the community is they way to go.. Give it time.. as you get noticed for helping out or just being fun it will come.
That was an excellent reply by HG.
I don't think it's that bothersome a trend to ask for how to get more karma points.
Someone is asking how to receive more karma points (read the subtitle of his post, he's asking how to get some), it shows that maybe there isn't alot of documentation available to users to find out how to get more karma or if there is alot of information, it isn't that easy to find possibly. A new karma system is implemented and some people are asking about it - I think it's probably a good thing, it shows users are interested in the new developments on this site and want some type of involvement. I personally don't think he was begging, it was a legitimate post from my point of view and he wasn't bashing anyone or arguing, it was a light hearted, fun type of question to ask in a unique way.
When someone asks a question and other people offer to help with information, that is good karma. Not just on on this site but also life in general. Karma is a very real thing to me, so be happy, be good to yourself and be good to others, what goes around does comes around.
Have a great day!
