It’s a cool idea! I wonder if it’d be possible to cash those karma points in for something tangible without the whole idea going to shit? Like a local shop agreeing to give a small discount to someone who earned a lot of karma on the site? Obviously not trying to reinvent capitalism or anything, but a karma barter system of some kind would be interesting if done right.
It’s been a while but eventually this the original idea was users would get like 100 karma automatically and then could offer X amount for help and it would be granted when help was given and then that person who earned the karma could themselves have more karma to offer possibly for a more difficult task.
