Actually I was curious about this: respect seems to be something different from the "karma" that was briefly experimented with, since they were briefly both listed. Is that from
this mod? If so, it seems to address a lot of the concerns that were raised during the karma experiment, by allowing:
-vote on posts, not just users
-disabling of negative votes
-list to see who voted on a post and how
-disabling of voting per board
etc.
