That’s really strange. I just tried to do that myself and got the exact same error message. Then I closed the dialogue and opened it again by clicking on the gear icon, and for whatever reason, it worked.

Your karma rating isn't the percentage of games you complete without getting kicked out, or else the karma of someone with 1,000s of completed games on BGA would not be so drastically affected by only being expelled a couple times. Also, it means that the karma of someone with 100s of completed games could never go to zero, but there are people who have hit zero karma. It isn't even the percentage of recent games that you've been completed.

Why they express it as a percentage is one of the mysteries of BGA. Yes, technically it is a percentage of the maximum it could be, but that's the only percentage it represents.
