In my opinion it does.

Does what?

They probably would deter opinions if they actually did anything but besides bury your comment (which doesn't even really do anything, people are probably still going to read it.), and give your ego a slight slap, they don't actually really do anything. Hell just take a look at Lisa Lombardo. Gets downvote karma bombed like every post and just still keeps on truckin'. I think given that fact we can safely arrive to the conclusion that they don't deter opinions given the fact that karma really doesn't even have any value.

I meant in my opinion it deters opinions. Sorry for vague.

When someone posts a subject someone tries to be a wise crack and follows up with a pun or reference. For karma.

So no, not really.

Why are you bothering making two separate threads about karma less than 12 hours apart from each other? Just take this discussion to your previous thread, I'm locking this one.
