    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Karma does not necessarily have anything to do with a how a person does business...it is simply peer (other members) feedback on his/her posts. I say not necessarily because, while some people insist the two are not related, sometimes the people that post like jerks act like jerks, too. I wouldn't necessarily avoid doing business with somebody that is "in the red".
Karma increases incrementally with post count and karma given by other members. Yours is grey (some say purple) because you are new. The squares are a basic indicator of how much karma/reputation one has here. The karma/reputation level is not the same as the karma power shown in a member's profile, it is their overall "score" (reflective of all points added). The karma power is how much that person will add to another member if they give them karma. In my case, if I were to give you karma, your reputation level would go up by 34 points. If a person is grey, or red, and they attempt to give karma, nothing happens...because they have nothing to give.
Negative karma has been discontinued. At present, nobody can give it. (I don't know if that is a permanent change, or not).
There are several other discussions about karma that may answer your questions more completely.
