Welcome to Site Discussion, if you are new to this public forum, welcome. If not, you know how great this forum is. There is little traffic, friendly interaction between Mods, Admins, and Members, and helpful posts from most everyone. Don't be surprised to not see any "+karma" posts, it isn't a bad thing, in fact, it is a very good thing, because if you are posting in here, you aren't looking to get your e-rep up, you are here to speak your mind about the site, and not argue over arbitrary matters that have no pull anywhere past the forums.
As for the matter I'd like to address, saying +karma to a post is pointless. It is about as effective as saying +1 to get your posts up, like in the good old days. Instead, all it does is encourage a cycle of meaninglessly increased karma, because obviously if you see someone agreeing with you, and giving you karma, you will return the favor. I feel for the karma system to work, if we can all agree to NOT say "+karma", we can refine the system into a more perfect one, where Karma is awarded for posts that matter, instead of just a favors system..
end fragmented thought.
