I'm new over here... so I was wondering wtf is that "karma" we have on the left side? Mine, for instance, is 1. Is that good or bad? Something to do with reputation, I guess? Thanks

Wasn't this feature voted down a few years ago? Why has it made a return? And can we opt out of displaying it the same way we can switch off signatures? It's an absolutely useless metric, and it smacks of high school.

I thought we decided to get rid of it, too? I was surprised to see it back.

Yeah, it's very childish and "junior high" (to call it High School would be a disservice to those fine educational institutions). Then again, I've got a -2, perhaps if I had 100 positive points I'd feel differently. LOL!
Ironically, one of the people I suspected might have given me one if those demerits, is one of those complaining/criticizing the feature -- or maybe they thought the feature would appropriate for me and no one else? Hahahaha!!!
If it's the two people I think it is, I wear me -2 as a badge of honor. :-)
All I can say is I have not responded in kind. Nor would I even if I knew for sure who the clowns were who deemed me worthy of a -2.
For me, Junior High was a lonnnnng time ago. ;-)

Having said that, you can suspect whatever you like, li'l fella.

I got yer "lil fella" hangin. (grabs crotch, and vainly tries to find it) So that's your reaction when I try to disabuse you of a misconception? A Richard joke? (The joke is your Richard, most likely.) I guess junior high was not as far in your past as you make out, "junior". Again: The 'karma' function does not work the way you seem to think it works, or else you would not equate a "-2" with the number of people who may or may not find you distasteful. Here endeth the lesson.
