Is there a thread explaining what karma is about, how it builds, and whether there are things that cause you to build karma or lose karma?

Karma points are a function of the forum software that mean......absolutely nothing

You are "awarded" points by the software based on your number of posts/how often you post, but again, it does not count for anything.

So the Karma give-aways in the lounge area are unrelated to actual karma at the site.

Not sure what this was about!

Exactly.
