It shows you are good at answering or asking questions, nothing more, if the members like your responses they will respond in kind, as can you if you wish.

Karma is an indicator of how much is put into this site via people's responses and your own input......

It definitely means you have the power to Thumb Up a lot more answers... the more you get the more you get to give!

What are Karma points?

As you contribute to the community your profile accumulates Karma points. These points distinguish you as a respected member and one which opinion is highly regarded by the community. Gaining Karma points also opens up doors to some cool features in akaQA which are constantly added.

The karma points system is not intended for resolving personal conflicts between members.

Here's how karma points work:

Each "Thumbs Up" on your question or answer yields 15 point.Each "Thumbs Down" on your question or answer yields -35 point.Each "Thumbs Down" on someone else's question yields -10 points.

Number of daily votes

The number of daily votes you can give is limited and grows as you gain more Karma points.

It is how we keep tract of who gives good honest answers, if you get a good answer give a thumb up and that gives the person karma points if you give a thumbs down it will take them away but you will lose some also so use wisely. OK to give a funny answer a TU too. Don't forget to click thumbs up ONCE to thank those nice people. Clicking twice doesn't double it, it takes it back.

What does one week gained mean, when it comes to Top Contributors  ???

Yes it better that you give TU or be nice if you want Karma point and if you don't want to nice well sorry your going to be erase.

not for you!
