Please ensure there is a bug raised for your karma problems:

As for the fundamental question about *using* karma, that's what the
referendum is for.

Personally, I think it usefully allows recognition of whether someone
has been active or not in the community (from rating news/downloads to
helping users on ITT to blogging to writing applications) and that
someone who has been active in the community is better placed to
choose the community's representatives than someone who had forgotten
they had a maemo.org account until they get poked by the election
software.

Cheers,

Andrew
