Huh. I tend to disagree with you quite frequently, but I give your opinion on the karma system a lot of weight because you have a great many comments heavily upvoted and heavily downvoted.
Karma seems to be a potentially-important tool for calming rogue corporations. We want corporations to be well behaved—partly since they may become powerful by developing mechanical hearts and minds. Just in case anyone is about to tell me that you can’t use a carrot and a stick on a machine intelligence, I do know all about the issues there.
FWIW, I tend to mostly ignore the karma of my own posts here—not wanting to be excessively influenced by the masses.
Well, reputation systems are good. More could be said, but that is the gist.

My “universal karma” rant explains some of my views.
