[JDEV] Karma and connection redirection

[Ulrich Staudinger]

Hi Fabio,

basically the karma settings shape bandwidth for connected clients. To
create a service (which a bot is) which doesn't suffer from karma
restrictions, think about creating a server component.

There is no better karma, either a client sends more than allowed (the
karma setting) or it doesn't.

How ever there have been many discussions, because every bot developer
issues this, about specifying special karma settings for special user
groups. 

Hope this helps.
