@inna_proshkina Would be good to know, it has to make a difference, however I do not clearly see the results tbh (I have some "Karma" friends)

It's also kind of a symbol, with this you get to see who is active on PH and you might get an idea on if someone has more experience or has seen more stuff or has engaged in more discussions, etc.

@rubenwolff Sure, I believe this is definitely the case, you build up PH reputation. Other than that... I'm not sure
