It's just for show. I got into it after I finally went from lurker to poster and gained 10 karma overnight. Then I went from 10 to 20 from contributing to the community. However, then I went from 20 to 12 after I made a few posts about personal languages choices on a thread and someone got ticked and downvoted all six posts I made to the thread no matter how relevant they were. Since then I haven't tried to take it too seriously.
