Karma on this site is more of a means to manage trolls, by way of leveraging the community's response to individual's posts that may over time show a pattern. Karma doesn't mean much here in terms of visibility - over time your best-voted comment might be at the bottom of a long thread. If you get enough, you can downvote but I'm wary of doing that outside of obvious trolling or maliciousness.
