What is this ? Copy and paste of moderator's reply??

I think almost all has Karma 0 here.Members do not mind Karma may be the reason.

I think nobody uses it. I will start using it and increase the Karma of members who contributes more.

Besides Karma, there is first a number (min. 0), green and red icons. Any member may add karma by clicking green and r3duce it by clicking red icon. The number indicated green clicks minus red clicks. This is a measure of popularity ort appreiation.

There is one more thing about Karma.We cannot continuously increase the karma of a person.I think a time gap of six hours is needed to increase the karma of a person for second time.
