The Karma rating refers to the "credits" as given by the fellow users. When you log in, you would be able to see "Thumbs up" and "Thumbs Down". Assuming you like someone's post OR someone has given you a very good / useful reply, you may choose to click on "Thumbs up". As you do that, the "karma" of the other person goes up by one. It is a virtual way of saying thanks to the other individual. If you click on "Thumbs Down", the other "karma" goes down.
