I meant to make an announcement about this but forgot. Sorry!
I have made some changes to the Karma feature.
1. You now do not need to wait an hour between giving karma. I think this should work out fine. We have great members here. If there should be a problem down the road, I will deal with it on an individual basis. In other words, should someone abuse it, by, say, giving someone lots and lots of negatives, their karma privileges would be suspended or taken away permanently if they didn't shape up. --->

2. You can now set some additional preferences for karma in your profile. (You can access your profile by clicking on the "profile" tab at the top of the board.)
You can choose to be notified when you receive karma. You can be notified by PM or by popup window when you access the board. If you choose the PM option, you will have a link to your karma in that PM and the reason for the karma change.
Happy Karma giving!
