View submission: Karma experiment
Two questions:
1. Does this 'award karma' only impact the total karma a user has as impacted in their 'Karma Score', or does it also act as a super upvote for the post/comment that is awarded? That is to say, f I give an award that is worth 100 karma, will it be the same as upvoting that post/comment 100 times in terms of its score, or would it only be +100 for the *user's* score but not impact the score of the post/comment?
2. Related, and depending on the answer to the first, will this in any way impact the Hot/Top/Best 'sort'? i.e. giving an award worth 100 Karma, would it change the *sort* in the same way as it the comment/post had received 100 upvotes, irrespective of how it impacts the actual, visible comment/post score?

1. The Award karma does not affect votes at all.
Award Karma will add into the total Karma score shown in the UI. However, it will not affect Automod.
2. It also does not have any impact on sort order (Hot/Top/Best etc.).
