I agree that 'Karma' generally is a community building tool, since it encourages participation, although some people tend to start Karma-whoring in attempt to elevate their status. For example, if a forum gives karma points to popular threads, that would encourage people to start flamewars in order to raise their karma level.
I am not against a Karma system, however before I consider implementing I would like to know of a good way to implement it, so that it is useful tool for forum users and not just arbitrarily assigned 'points' that you can gain through frequent usage.

There is also the consideration of speed, properly implemented Karma system would have numerous rules, which would cause some performance degradation, therefor it should be something each forum administrator can choose to enable or disable on their forum, since not everyone may want/need this feature.
