There was a thread about this a while ago - and almost nobody on NS really cares about their karma.
Obviously you don't care cause yours is zero....

I gave u an ironic 10/10, but ye i really never notice what my karma/others is, i.e. i didnt notice yours was 0 untill someone pointed it out.

I usually glance at their post count before karma, no idea why just a weird habit I guess.

yes they do, people on here would perform sexual favors to ryno for more karma, they probably check it every day and get mad when it drops like 10 points
i used to care but i realized it's completely useless

i personally try to not look at my actual karma( i find the actual karma system kind of flawed, i mean you get karma for posting videos/pictures in the media section, and for being an active member of the site, but whos to say you are positively contributing to the site), or even care about it, the only thing i do look at is the "what other people rate me" just because i can see what people think of me based on what I say, and if i should be less of an asshole in what I say. I cannot speak for everyone, but for the most part I see people saying +k as an attempt to offer something in return for helping someone out, even if karma means nothing to most people.

It's totally fine. if your karma falls off,

you can just sew it back on.

I dunno, its kinda a silly system but I think that it has its positives. At least a few people are pretty concerned about their karma and I think are now less likely to make posts like "SEARCHBAR NOOBZZZZ>!>!>!!" and are more likely to actually make a positive contribution. I know that when I read a thread and I think someone has made a significant contribution I give them karma or if they something really really stupid I'll lower it.... I mean whats the harm.
