This is pretty funny - when I did a search it took me 3 pages of search results on "karmic power" to locate a meaningful description of it. Here's the link

Members,
Although we're still tweaking a few things, the Karma Hits count is accurate and the Karmic Power is also accurate now.
Your Karmic Power is based on 3 things:
You get one point of Karmic Power:
For every 2 months you have been on the site.
For every 1000 posts you make.
For every 2000 karma hits you have.
You get more karma when you hit up other members and by going Platinum.
In the future will be giving you free temporary Platinum upgrades for a few days based on your karma levels.
Here's the deal with out other trial Platinum Memberships.
You get to try a Platinum Membership for free of 10 full days when:
1. You're a new member who registered 90 days ago, visited the board in the last 30 days and have at least 1 post.
or
2. You reach your annual anniversary.
or
3. If you used to be an active member and have not been here for 180 days.
Karma will be another factor to let members try the world of Platinum.
