Karma is simply one of those extra features of ProBoards forums.
Basically, it shows how other members view you. A higher karma is viewed as better while a lower karma (the value can go in the negatives!) generally means you're viewed negatively by others.
Once an hour, any forum member can click "Exalt" or "Smite" on someone. You should be able to do that to any other member here on this forum (look below where their post count is displayed in a post). Clicking "Exalt" will give them +1 karma, while smiting them will give them -1 karma.
A lot of forums disable karma because it leads to some controversy over members who consistently "smite" another member. However, here it hasn't been a case.
The Karma feature is solely an extra feature, and that's it. Having a greater karma doesn't necessairly mean you're a "better member," etc.
EDIT: I have just "exalted" you. ;D Your karma has increased form 1 to 2.

On other hand, Administrators can modify all of ours karma. That's how I got 7 Karma. EDIT: Is your question answered? If so, post here and I'll close it.

That's not really fair, though. How about I set your karma to 1,000? Nah, but like you said, it's a useless feature, so I can get 7. It's my favorite number...meh..

No problem, bostonfan. Oh dear, DAMNIT now has a karma of -3. Who on earth could be doing something like that?
