Is there any mechanism for a user to lose "awards karma" like there is for post and comment karma?

Regarding AutoModerator, will we be able to reference award karma in addition to post/comment karma? I could envision a rule that blocks likely spammers with high award karma but low post/comment karma.

I had the same question, and an idea[1]:

Since the admins are in an "experimenting" mood... why not properly incentivize good behavior, and dis-incentivize bad behavior while addressing the issues moderators have with awards, and empowering them to have teeth against bad faith contributors and trolls:

**if we ban someone from our subreddit, they should lose all the "award karma" they earned in our subreddit. If we just remove a submission/comment that was awarded, they should lose all "award karma" associated with that post**

Hey u/shiruken - for the purposes of this experiment, no.
