karma (idea)

On #everything, karma can be given in positive or negative chunks by adding "++" or "--" after a word in CowbotNeal's presence. Phrases can be put in parentheses. You cannot give yourself karma. (Well, not in the usual sense, anyway. You can certainly earn it.)

To check the karma of a word or phrase, say "karma foo" in CowbotNeal's presence. You can say "karma me" to check your own karma.

Examples:

• sylvar++
• cops--
• (katyana's homemade chili)++

A list of karma scores (possibly outdated, possibly live) is available at http://yogafrog.blockstackers.com/karma.txt; a quick Perl sort-by-length brings us some interesting tidbits.
