Premise:
It's fun handing out karma but it tends to be "noisy" in a channel, which can drown out some of the signal and make it difficult to scroll back in a channel and find threads. Also the amount of alerting that occurs that isn't really important could cause people to "ignore" channel updates and miss important stuff.
Feature:
Have karmabot send karma updates to a #karma channel instead of the channel it's listening in, maybe expand the update message to:
In <channel>, <giver> boosted <receiver>'s karma to <new karma value>
In <channel>, <taker> dropped <receiver>'s karma to <new karma value>
People who want to monitor karma can subscribe to the channel, or pop in on it whenever the fancy strikes.
This could be a global option, or maybe an option per channel? I'd prefer global but can see an argument for a per channel option.
