Does the Karma system need a value?

Really. Qgil, you, the Admins, Mods, Nokia, Intel or someone else can Rank a User the way you want. Thanked posts, bugzilla, and so one. It's not so important.

But like the MHz Value on a Prozessor or the MegaPixel on a customer digicam. When users get involved more and try to help each other because of advancing their karma stocks the system is worth and does what it should do.

Pay the users in Points for helping each other! (it's simple, but it works in some ways)

Hmm... could we have here a kind of ultimate social network game?
