I had the impression that my posts were more helpful than unhelpful because my karma balance is above zero.

By removing the posts which individually have zero or negative karma you could have made the list half as long (and therefore more useful, per unit of time). I'd even say that post karma less than 3 is mere noise.

I reckon if that's your opinion as a blanket policy just update your account preferences to not show posts with less than 3 karma. It defaults to not showing less than 2 in any case.
