How often do you use karma?

I give out karma like it's candy. I applaud people every chance I get. I smite spammers without second thoughts. How frequently do you give or take karma?

Things I agree with most often.  I'm not stingy but not as giving as I would like to be but I think I have been here less often lately and so haven't been doing much. 
Ah, the good old days.

I use it more now than I did in the past.  But I try to use it only for very special or clever posts.  I don't want to use it so much that the meaning gets watered down.  I'm sure there have been many times in the past when I should have given karma, but didn't think of it at the time.

Off and on for me. I don't give it like candy, though. Most often I give out karma for stuff that makes me laugh. In second place would be anything to demonstrate a strong shared appreciation of something (a movie, a genre, a musical artist, etc.). In third place would be if I just strongly appreicate an opinion posted or considered a post particularly thoughtful.

On average it's about 2-3 times a week.
I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

I applaud someone if he or she makes me laugh really hard or makes a good point.

I've never smitted anyone.  :cheers:

I don't utilize it much in terms of applauding anyone as much as I likely should.  Sometimes I do, mostly if I agree with a person's sentiments in a post or if they post something I like (a youtube clip, song, album, etc.)  I don't think I've ever smited someone, but I do remember being smited once or twice.  It's something I should likely use more, but it depends on time I'm around.

I tend to not 'applaud' users who start threads about karma.

Sorry.

Me too.  If I laugh out loud or completely agree with a post like it was something I would have said I'll send some karma.  Also, when Xmas rolls around I sometimes get really generous.

I rarely applaud a person, but I do so every once in a while when a post catches my eye. Usually if a post makes me laugh out loud I applaud the person.

I have never given anybody negative karma.

I will admit I like seeing people give me positive karma.
Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill.

I'm not asking for Karma hand-outs, Ulthar. It's an honest question.

Nearly 2k applauded, I guess I'm amused easily. :tongueout:

I try to give out at least one karma point each time I visit the board.  I like receiving, so I figure the best way to get is to give . . .  and to be my charming, hilarious, and surprisingly handsome self. :teddyr:

I rarely use it. I probably should more honestly. Mostly I give it to users whose posts have me laughing out loud, sometimes also though for a shared taste/interest in music, movies, TV, whathaveyou...
