The karma system lets me know in extreme cases of ratebots.
From there: I can decide what to do, but I really don't like seeing people trying to abuse systems I write. Random things might happen if you try to do so. (Just ask Skeeter)
Anyhow, to the person whose Karma I was just fiddling with (you know who you are), I didn't quite mean to tweak it so much... PM me when you've posted and updated your Karma and we'll see what I need to fix with it.
ya, the 8,000 0.1 ratings were a little much..
