i am also new to this site and can't say what should be the best here. :)
But one thing i don't understand if people really use karma points or not. :)
Presently, your karma point is 0. Obviously, no body has either added or deducted. I am going to add one karma point. This will bring your karma to 1. You may see karma points of others also below their profile image. I suggest read the posts and give + or - karma according to your like/ dislike.
I don't think liking or disliking should be the factor to give someone -ve or +ve but one should give it on the basis if the post contributes negatively or positively to a discussion. :)
If you consider that a post is positive, you like this. If you feel that contribution of the post is negative, you dislike. 'Like' and 'dislike' are simple words that express how you evaluate a post.
But sometimes a person don't agree to us and we may not like it but actually the post contributes to the discussion then is it right to give -ve to that post. :)
I don't think we should give -ve point to any user who don't agree with us.. It is common that two people don't agree on one thing.. its not mean they or we deserve -ve.

I also think like you i never gave anyone -ve on any site unless the post is something which breaks rule of the site. :)
