does NS really care about karma?  i dont really understand why people are always saying +K.  its pointless, your not really gaining anything from it, just a number. 

so my question is, do you really care what your karma number is? 
i know i dont...

idk there are some people who have mad high karma who i think are just idiots and dont respect yet there are people who will have very low karma who make some very good points and have nice posts.

so no i dont think karma reflects a person

well it seems like it show people are respected, but then again its just because of who they are. for me it doesn't effect me because lets say you make a bad post or something or say something that someone gets offended by their gonna lower your karma, or some little 12 year old is like "HEY YOUR A DOUCHE BAG" lemme lower your karma. its only a number, we shouldn't be affected by it :)

Doesn't mean shit to me, but I must be doing something right if I have a higher number.

My opinion > somebody I don't even know making my "karma" number higher.

It's funny to see the +++kkkk posts and shit, it's bad for the site though, cause it just encourages people to post when they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.  I think anyone posting shit like "+++++kkk for helping me" should be immediately banned for 3 or 4 days.

Means nothing to me. If the system was ever fixed to clearly reflect who the good members on the site were then I might start caring about it more.

I like to tell people that it means nothing to me but in reality, I can't live without it, I have to check it all of the time and worry so much why people don't like me.

honestly. why do we say "+k" in threads? does your karma really mean that much to you? and it doesnt really seem like more experienced users(most of them at least) dont do this... so is it just me or do the newer people do this alot more?

+k just takes up space. it doesnt matter in the slightest. now if confetti would rain down on me when i hit a certain karma number then i might care. but it doesn't, so i don't

I could care less about it, I must agree with Malcolm though.  I wonder sometimes, is karma a useful system or is it just pointless?

it takes up alot of space, and gets very annoying.  if you could get certain priveleages or something here on NS if you had really high karma, then yea i would care about it but as of now and even if you end up getting certain prveleages, "+k+ needs to stop.
