METHODS

       get_karma($username)
           Returns either a string representing the total number of karma points for the passed
           $username or the total number of karma points and subroutine reference for good and
           bad karma comments.  These references return the according karma levels when called in
           scalar context or a array of hash reference. Every hash reference has entries for the
           timestamp (timestamp), the giver (who) and the explanation string (reason) for its
           karma action.

       add_karma($thing, $good, $reason, $who)
           Adds or subtracts from the passed $thing's karma. $good is either 1 (to add a karma
           point to the $thing or 0 (to subtract). $reason is an optional string commenting on
           the reason for the change, and $who is the person modifying the karma of $thing.
           Nothing is returned.

VARS

       ignore_selfkarma
           Defaults to 1; determines whether to respect selfkarmaing or not.

       num_comments
           Defaults to 3; number of good and bad comments to display on explanations. Set this
           variable to 0 if you do not want to list reasons at all.

       show_givers
           Defaults to 1; whether to show who gave good or bad comments on explanations.

       randomize_reasons
           Defaults to 1; whether to randomize the order of reasons. If set to 0, the reasons are
           sorted in reversed chronological order.

       karma_change_response
           Defaults to 1; whether to show a response when the karma of a thing is changed.  If
           true, the bot will reply with the new karma.  If set to 0, the bot will silently
           update the karma, without a response.
