I got a karma point! I believe I saw a vague mention somewhere that the editors give out karma but I don't remember the criteria for doing so. Is it the (kaff kaff) quality of the writing, the information in the entry or does the karma fairy randomly whap users with her wand. Anyway thanks to whoever for the point, it is appreciated.
Hello to my Fans, merlyn and Louis_Wu (a truly mind-boggling concept; me - Fans. Tres weird.).
Not just editors, the moderators

While the Editors have god-like powers and can add karma points, upvotes and downvotes, which affect Karma, are typically added by Moderators. While the Slashdot system is very slightly different than that used on Use Perl (for example, Karma has a numeric value displayed on Use Perl still, on Slashdot it's a class),
there is a page that explains most of it on Slashdot.
