A system of arbitrary colored pixels displayed on your screen, promoted as something of value, when obviously not so. A reward system that is intangible, but human greed and the preponderance of ignorance makes it work quite well.

Yes, and I agree. But they act as representations for something else, usually. Even if it's an emotion, such as nationalistic pride (a flag), direction (an arrow or stop sign), and implication (a bear totem may represent physical might). I think this is delving too deeply, though, for what this was originally about. It's all blatant, I think.

The original intention was to reward posters for providing value to the other members. Hence if I posted a question about training, and someone gave me good advice that I adopted, I could thus reward the person with good karma.
In addition if there were obnoxious posters we could collectively load them up with so much negative karma that they would eventually get banned.
However as is the case with most things, the original good intentions behind karma were horribly manipulated by the recent phenomena of "karma whoring." This has had the effect of making giving and receiving karma a popularity contest.
