    The way it is right now, we don’t have total “karma”, which I imagine helps to at least suppress the purely karma-farming spam. That said, there’s no real reason to think it won’t be added here eventually.

        Never really got the point of Karma to begin with. All it really does is measure how well you match the tone of any particular echo chamber.
