I saw some who were here for less then two months with over 6000 karma points! It took me 3 years to get 3500 honestly so i saw the abuse and favoritism.
I completely agree and have to say this is what bothered me the most !

Have you ever known me, though, to do something that I didn't believe was in the best long-term interests of RS? Having grown to nearly 10,000 members and made it much longer than most reef forums, has my best not been good enough? I'm asking, because in the end, you have to put your faith in me to do what I believe is the best thing for this community from a long-term perspective.

It became meaningless when powers that be manipulated the karma of certain members and made it negative to the millions then back to positive to the millions! That cheapened the process and made it look like it wasn't important and that it was able to be manipulated. The karma that others had gained was done in a legitimate fashion based on what each individual contributed to the community.
The only abuse that was evident was when moderators manipulated the karma of other members. That was bold and stood out. I thought giving karma was PRIVATE and no one should have access to that except the two members sharing the karma moment. Unless what I assume was private is being spied-on. So where did the members abuse the system????
Scott has some very valid points and I am sure others agree with him.
Not just someone but a moderator(s).
Perhaps the fix is just not to allow moderators access to karma controls
Let's not focus on the pepper in the fish feces!
EW!!! Where the heck did you get that analogy?
