View submission: Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)
Getting rid of karma completely isn't a great solution either. A lot of subreddits use karma scores as a way to fight spammers. Plus the main reason accounts try to farm karma is to look more legitimate so they can more easily post spam. Without karma, they'll just change strategies. The shitty posts won't just disappear.

The karma system makes reddit unique. I hope it stays.
