No no no - don't give me karma for a meetup post! I want my karma to mean more than that :)
I think your modesty is unwarranted. :-)
Meetups have the potential to lead to a lot of updating, positive feedback loops, and other real benefits for the attendees. I suspect that very few comments on this site, even the higher rated ones, can match them in that regard.
A little positive feedback and appreciation for the organizers has the potential to go a long way, so that they have some additional payoff for continuing to deal with the tedious logistics.
Plus, karma stands for a thousand different things already. Adding one more meaning to the list doesn't make much of a difference with such a conflated concept.
Voted down to cancel out some of the unwanted karma.
:P
Nerdy groups tend to value nothing but intelligence.
It's karma for organising and posting. That is, the people voting up are saying "more like this, please!" The system is working fine ;-)
