I give karma for posts I like and I generally don't announce it. That said, in certain threads I do announce it. And I try to remember the posters I can't give karma to and hit them when I regenerate.
There is a certain amount of fun/annoyance in realizing someone gave me karma and trying to figure out what I said/did that prompted it. I know I've gotten a couple from posts on cute stuff kids/DH does/did. And I know PoM hit me a few times, when we were trying to bring her back to positive numbers. And I THINK I got hit for a Doctor Who reference. The rest, I don't really have a clue who hit me or when.

What Beth said. I do it for all the reasons stated above. I give it to the new people with low counts that are just getting started to welcome them, I get those who have a personal situation and need something positive and that's all I have to give with a kind word, I do it when I think something is really funny or touching - and tell that person when I thought they were funny or they touched me... and I do it anonymously. But I'm a karma ho and it just feels good to karma people and I esp. love getting people to 69. ;D ETA: Oh, and Beth - that wasn't the only reason. I visit YM a lot and hit people there when I agree with them or like what they post.  |

Under all other posters' names, you should see an [Exalt] button. Press that button for those you want to give karma too. Walla!

I don't usually let people know when I give them karma, but do occasionally when they've said something I find really funny or like what they post.

People here have very long memories. Once you become "that guy" you will never be able to shake it.
