View submission: Karma experiment
Maybe, but that karma looks like it will be labelled as coming from awards, so it might be that much easier for mods and admins to see when there's something fishy going on.

They posted on r/modnews a few hours earlier, and confirmed that existing automod spam-prevention rules based on karma amounts won't be broken, at least not during the experiment, anyway.
Shouldn't be added to the total karma, IMO, or just called something other than karma, as it's not really a community reputation like normal karma is supposed to be.
Even just a counter of "coins spent on awards" would be a better way of doing it without making karma farming easier for people who really care about the fake internet points.
