This was a joke, meant to make people laugh. You, sir, are overthinking it. I actually like Bane's pie-count idea, sheerly for the 'hahah, pie' factor. Besides, the polls are calling him a retard.
Can we let it die permanently now? I see this up and I go "Why is that still being trafficked?"

If we had a karma system on our forums, I guarantee it'd rapidly devolve into bs.
So let's head 'em off at the pass and have the karma bar be entirely untied to reputation or anything. Have it be a pie count or something. Allow anybody to hit + or - as many times as they liked, and each time they did hit a minus, they'd steal a 'pie' off someone else, then every time they hit + they'd give one away.
or make them kittens, for they are acceptable internet currency.
