View submission: Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)
I'd wager that most users thought that text post already counted towards your karma total. I doubt there will be much change in behavior.

They aren't the ones I'm concerned about. It's the people who deliberatley farm karma. They would already be aware.

How long have you been here? I can't count the number of times I've seen this play out
"OP is lying for karma"
"Actually you don't get karma for self posts"
"Yeah but the comment karma"
Every time.

I'd bet against that. People that participate regularly know how the system works.

I agree that many did, generally those with low karma counts.
