Your karma score is the sum of the karma scores of all of your comments, including deleted comments. However, if it is zero or negative, it will display like zero. So if your karma score is −2, it’ll say “0” in your green circle, and if you get upvoted once, it will still say “0″, but if you then get upvoted twice more, it’ll say “1”.

So I should have taken the advice to come back as a new account after being gang-tackled (to use a polite term).
I’m confused. Why is it okay to change your name and lose all your negative karma, when people clearly objected to your contributions?
That does seem like the best way to reset your karma. It does feel like a total negative karma should reset to zero after enough time passes.
Upvoted in the interest of saving you the trouble of making a new account. You’re now at 0 total karma.
