This thread made me think about the Karma system in general. I think it needs to be overhauled. *ducks the flames* Someone wrote how they had to change their filters becuase the defualt filter hides the "sub-default" entries. I too had to do this, and I haven't regretted it one bit. the entries that get sub-faulted have some of the most entertaining and full of win collections of words that it is downright sad to miss out on them. I would like to see a Karma system where when a post gets rated down beyond a certain point, it switches from "sub-default" to "Seriously?" to "OMG I wet myself!"
With this improved system, you still have the ability to self regulate the forums while highlighting the truly hilarious posts. I think Wordaen said it best:

I say give us a way to highlight stupid and hostile because they are so entertaining.
Edit: Sorry Wordaen, please don't use the banstick.
