On the new message board, the link is at the top of the page, "login or register."

How can I keep my e-mail address from displaying with my posts?

Don't make posts. Having and displaying a valid e-mail address is part of the message board Terms of Service. You'd be surprised how much trouble it saves us when people are forced to be responsible for what they type.

What is karma?

Karma is similar to the post rating on the old message boards, except it rates an individual poster and follows the poster wherever they post. Only more veteran posters are allowed to affect a poster's karma, and this is done via links titled "applaud" or "smite" under a poster's name. The restriction is in order to limit the ability of so-called one-star bandits to affect a poster's karma without being registered for the board or a true member of the community. You cannot applaud or smite yourself, and you can only applaud or smite each individual poster every few hours. Applauding a poster raises their karma by one; smiting lowers it by one.
