View submission: Karma experiment
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.).

So it's not really "karma", which can be good or bad, but a rather a number representing the amount of coins spent on a specific user.
The use of "karma" might trick the uninformed spammers into spending money to boost their posts... to no effect. So I guess that's a plus? Unfortunately it also will spread to uninformed users as well, and they'll think reddit is pay2win, which is a con.

How much notice will you say you are going to give us (and then not actually give us) when this inevitably changes?
