is pretty lame I think, I have been on this site for a long time, and all of a sudden everyone needs to be rated like some shitty hot or not site. I think this is a backwards step for NS. Sure there is postwhore but we dont need some lame ass system to point them out, and make it cool by calling it karma.

It was made to rate people on the content of their posts instead of the number of them, so that people don't feel like they have post a shitload to be taken seriously.

i dont really care what my karma is, or if anyone gives it to me. if someone makes a quality post you dont need a number there to tell you they are a quality member. but whatever thats just my opinion. its kinda cool i guess.

karma normally tells you who the funniest members are or the members who post great media...and SOMETIMES good posts. I think it will get better as time goes on.

i think it could be an awesome system, but it's kind of annoying when people get karma taken away because they stay something a lot of people don't like or have a radical opinion.  I think it's a good system though, its just seems like some people are too ready to downgrade people's karma because of stupid reasons.

Karma and post count are both stupid. The only sensible use for Karma would be as a feedback system for buying/selling, not an e-peen popularity contest.

I post count just tells you how much experience a member has on posting. It gives me an idea about taking the user seriously in their posts.
