If you have Coins, you can give Awards and that will grant Awarder Karma. That means you can purchase Coins, and use them to get Awarder Karma, or you could also receive Coins from others for high quality content. As we've mentioned in a reply on our modnews post[1], we expect some karma farming to happen and we'll keep an eye on that in the experiment read.

It's worth noting that this is an experiment and we are testing things to see what works and what doesn't. Also Awarding is still a really small portion of activity compared to posting, commenting and voting.

Will this be retroactive if/when put in site wide? Can we hide the amount like we can hide how many gildings we've given/reveived?

but why even *bother* with this?! we already have our award giving being acknowledged over in our sidebars in the trophy case and if we don’t want people to know that we give (give in secret and get your reward in heaven) we can toggle visability of the trophy case off and on.

which is great.

this whole being able to **buy karma** eats out the inside of what made reddit popular.. and makes me wonder if that is what the admins are looking to do? are the admins running reddit just for revenue?

i remember seeing something in the rationalizations concerning all the extra awards something about that when people put money into reddit then it enables reddit to make *community* more available to the world.

but, at the expense of what reddit is?

Well that just sounds like buying karma with extra steps.
