I couldn't care much about what it is called, but it has been ok place for years and people got used to it. I do appreciate us being considerate. But have y'all noticed that no one spoke up who felt offended by the term, or who could even give input from the perspective of a "believer" or someone in the know about the meaning of the term karma in a religious context (beyond the quite common non-religious usage in English and other languages)? As such, it appears to be a made-up problem indeed. Made-up out of good intentions (I don't doubt that), but made up over the heads of those whose beliefs "we" intend to protect. Now, we have a tendency to hide concepts and meanings behind terms which no outsider could possibly infer from the terms - karma, koji, bodhi, pagure, noggin, ... If we use this initiative to *clear up* things I'm all for it. From the suggestions, "feedback" is too close to comment, but "score" seems to convey what it is. It does lose the quite fitting meaning that karma has colloquially/secularly.
