What is this new "Karma" index and what is it used for?

GLORYmum:
i'll be glad to open a tuition centre that can improve \"karma\" and see who will come... haha...
got tuition centre to help improve our karma? or enrichment centre ? or err... how about some karma guru who can improve our karma by a few folds?
anyway on a serious note, i think the \"like\" post is really such a wonderful idea, i can click the \"like\" for posts which i feel are informative, awesome, unselfish sharing and most of the time factual.
sorry sorry... the \"karma\" word is very sensitive... use it wisely... -

Has kiasuparents.com become now a Buddhist website with the karma thingy ?
I believe many of the ksp members are from various religions, and Singapore is a multi-religion society. This karma thing is VERY INSENSITIVE to ksp members of other faiths.
We are supposed to be 'blind' to religions in this ksp website which promote sharings by parents regardless of religious background of their experience in all things relating to kids' schooling etc etc
CKS, you ought to know better not to implement such thing which has religious connotation of certain faith, with all due respect, but to offend members of other faith. Just because some members suggested it ? It is against your better judgement, CKS.
In view of the above, Mr CKS, please terminate my account and delete all my account and postings. I wish to have nothing to do with this website anymore.
Thank you,

ChiefKiasu:
The software creator is trying to be funny right? Or promoting his/her belief?
We have no intention to slight any religion at all. The fact is, \"karma\" is the term used by the software creator and so if we are to change it, it will require rewriting a substantial part of the code which will make it difficult to maintain.SAHM_TAN:
Karma is not as simple a concept in Buddhism.
This is a public forum. Although I'm not a staunch practising Buddhist. I'm still uncomfortable with the use of the word in this way. Ok. I've said my piece on this matter.

please don't get offended...
please don't leave this big family... -
To CMs: I have blocked VKS’s account. He is obviously angry at us for seemingly protecting Tuition Czar for having warned him about posting details on the RI car.

hi
I think we need to be open and share the facts about his unhappiness and his request to terminate his account in the open forum. -
how is this purpose?

While telling the facts in the open forum is indeed a way, my concern is whether we may be seen as trying to make vk2010 look bad. I respect vk2010 too much to want to do that. Also, all transactions between us were made in PMs, and we have to honour our code of not discussing private content publicly.
The truth is, we have no idea why vk2010 wanted to leave, or acted so strangely in the last 2 weeks, claiming that his account was hacked when it clearly wasn’t, and insisting that we delete his account even after I blocked Tuition Czar’s account for his taunting of Mommybel’s and other tutors. He seems to be taking me to task for insisting that I cannot ban Tuition Czar for what he posted on his RI driver thread, and that I am banning Tuition Czar retroactively for what he did earlier, and for his continued attempts at sowing discord amongst the community. So it is a case of damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
