Does karma affect what you write?
DanielBMarkham: If karma didn't matter to most posters, the board would not work. The whole philosophy of voting is based on the idea that karma matters, both to the reader of the article and to the submitter/voter.Now whether or not the board is "working" -- whether or not a simple up or down vote means anything more than a herd mentality knee-jerk response -- is a completely different question.
