The main complaints about the Karma system has always come from me. It's not useful in any way except e-peen boosts and trolling. We finally had a discussion about it on the Administration board and it was decided to just turn it off.
Sure you could see someone has lots of negative karma. Does this reflect the quality of his posts? Maybe, maybe not. How about reading the post before deciding like you should be doing anyway.
The way I see it the only people with high Karma are Devs, House leaders or people boosting their friends. And the ones with low Karma, while they might post a lot of silly stuff or whatever, are generally that low only because a select number of people dislike them and choose to constantly give them negative Karma.
