So when I think of the karma function on the forum I think of giving points to people who are either helpful or unhelpful. I'm not sure if everyone sees it this way but I feel like posting against an idea I disagree with is better than giving negative karma just because I disagree. Not everyone acts this way and will give negative karma (which to me denotes the person is either being a jerk, lying, shell account, etc) to someone just because they say something that the person doesn't agree with. This skews the karma function in my eyes.
The easiest and quickest remedy to this (just from a user research standpoint, I'm not a coder so I don't know how hard it would be to do) is to be able to click on a user's karma and then see the posts that received karma and the type of karma they got. It can be like a "show user's posts" page but at the top left corner of the post that says "2/-1" or whatever. This way we can see, in our own eyes, if a user is really a good help on the forum or if they just say what people want to hear or are not afraid to actually say the truth in the face of being down voted.
What's the SR community say?
