If you waste enough of your life posting things on the forums, you get the ability to give people plus or minus karma depending on whether or not you like them.   It's pretty stupid.

Can you see who gave or subtracted points?

oh god, this gets asked constantly.

+x means the number of people who liked your posts
-y means the number of people who disliked them

they are calculated by tabulating "thanks" and "discourage" votes (1 per post is allowed). Since it's basically annonymous and everyone is a giant cunt and the only people who are compelled to vote are people you piss off, it's basically a useless forum feature.

It would be better if it wasn't anonymous. I've seen similar features in other forums but the rater is identified. It makes it easier to see who the douche bags are.
