I think karma is pretty irrelevant from start to finish, as a whole it's caused more immature arguments and unrest than it has good. Because karma doesn't actually require any good deed of any sort you can't even use it was a real factor in determining peoples actual credibility, just whether they're opinion panders to the consensus of the forum populace as a whole (you can however gauge where people stand on as far as popularity of comment, "I like this guy he's funny" or "this guy is always soooo annoying" or "sometimes this guy says good stuff, but not always...").

It's as cute as liking stuff on Facebook but if you really want to know what people are about you ultimately still need and find out what they have written and will write. Else that leaves a prejudice against people for having little or more karma than the others (mainly in the case of negative karma)
