What about 'big up' and 'dis'? Andy. Seriously, though, I think we're all aware of what the feature does, so there's no need to read too much into the actual words used.

Andy, I know for a fact that Exalt and Smite caused lots of problems!! People were giving bad karma when they just wanted to give positive to someone! Condemn seems to be ok.. Michael

I'm not surprised about Exalt and Smite, I think most non native English would have trouble defining those words. But what I meant was that Bless and curse are much more obvious (curse is probably more obvious than condemn) and we should make their functions obvious and not worry too much about what the word actually means in 'the real world'. Bless and condemn are OK, though, I reckon.
Andy.
p.s. The only time I've heard Exalt used other than here is in a hymn, and the only time I've heard smite is in Lord of the Rings!!

I have to tell you that I first heard of these words in here and I had to search in my english dictionary to understand their meaning!

LOL, well, this forum is fairly unusual in that it's English speaking only and most of the members are not English!!

Take TN for example; a lot of non-English people, still it's in english. It's the best of all bad choices. What language should we use otherwise? Greek or maybe Dutch? :rolleyecrazy: sAner

Well, I think there are more forums where all the members are from the same country than ther are international ones like this and TN. So you're right, a great deal are like this, but I think they are still a minority.

I understand where you're coming from Andy, but I guess most of the i-net is in English. Don't you think so? Anyway, English the world language I suppose.
