Getting back to the karma system

Resetting the karma system X amount of days would result in similar end round behavior before the reset... people would start to care less around the time of reset. Also, the people who earned their 1000 karma or so would lose it by no fault of their own.
Making it random might solve the end round behavior but the earned karma is still lost... maybe even right when you just got it to 1000 or so.

The entire point of my idea is to not actually tell people when their karma will reset. When karma resets at a fixed interval, such as before a map change, people love to take the opportunity to RDM.
When karma resets at a random or very long interval, people either don't know they have the opportunity to RDM or that opportunity comes around too seldom to be an issue.
If I had to implement it myself, I would say have karma reset at a random time once a week. If we were to set the default karma to 1000, that might offset the severity of the loss -- Just one mistaken kill or RDM won't render you useless, but any more than that is about the same kind of penalty.

Another thing that could be done is raise the karma limit.
Give good players some leeway to make mistakes.

After suddenly all of the noobs came in, I love our karma system, at least you can't abuse it on the server.

Baiting people, and trying to RDM while you have hih karma in hopes of getting people to kill yo.
That plus maps where you can trick people into using things like Traitor testers, and other map traps thinking the person you're springing them on is a T.
