View submission: Karma experiment
Hey u/MajorParadox, this change will have **no** change on sorting or ranking. Additionally, we'll be working with our Safety team to make sure there are similar mechanisms to prevent manipulation as there is with vote manipulation.

Won't it be an easy way for brand new users with malicious intent to gain enough karma to post into subs that would otherwise restrict them from doing so?

Like you've made sure there isn't harassment via awards? That's gone so well....

So are you ever going to do anything about people running illegal advertising campaigns (e.g. your beloved GallowBoob) or does that just make too much money for reddit for it to be considered an issue?

When you say no change or sorting or ranking do you mean award karma won't be reflected in a posts upvote score or a users comment score? Will the karma change solely be reflected in the users profile? Because if post or comment scores are altered in any way by award giving or receiving, whether Reddit sorts them accordingly, I guarantee they will get more exposure.

That's a relief! So, it's basically just for show? If so, I love it!

Is this a separate karma catagory? Because if there is no visible distiction then it will be misused.

What about mods who use major subs to push blogspam, and willfully overlooking people who spam for domains like Raw Story or Patheos?
