I'll give you a hand too

I see I have lost another point without explanation. (Wench is prime suspect)

How is a chap to know if his irritants are hitting the spot if he isn't told which ones earn a slap?

Oh, I think it is safe to assume you are irritating? the karma is just random after all. Look at mine for instance, I know everybody loves and admires me yet it is down in the gutter?

I don't think I've smote you in the last 24 hrs. 

  IMPOSTER!!!!!! You aren't Wenchy, who are you and what have you done with the real Wench?

'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober,
 I was carting home a load with manly pride,
 When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
 And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
 Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
 Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
 "You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,"
 Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Sorry but self flagellation is not permitted. You'll have to hold the urge until you are within range of a PC.

The theory is that if you like a post, think the poster has made a good, telling or amusing comment/point/argument you can "Applaud" them. We tend to call that giving someone the clap!
Conversely if a post upsets you or you find it annoying/untrue/unreasonable/boring etc you can smite the poster.
You can only smite or applaud the same poster once in an hour ~ an error message will explain this if you try to do it too often.
Smite = minus 1 Applaud = plus 1 Thus your Karma is a measure of how your fellow posters think you are doing.
That is, as I said, the theory. In practice we seem to smite and applaud at will (Poor Old Will) and there is often nothing more than a whim behind it.
There ~ I've given you the clap for asking.
There are no prizes that Barman has yet provided.

There is a rumour that if our Karma drops low enough you become Nick's sidekick when he is in Captain Calamity mode Miss D.

Thought I'd smite you to see if that's true. 

[Grumpmeister]

Have a smite yourself Muttley 

I think the only person at risk here is the barman. If you want to test the rumour I suggest mass smitage of his person. 

[Miss Demeanour]

Will his bodywork be able to hold up under that much pressure

[Nick]

I just smote everyone on this thread, just because I could
