  It would attract the karma farming bots that reddit has. Any website that has a privilege system like that causes accounts with more privilidges to be worth more to buyers.

    Yes for a karma point system. People will buy karma’s in the thousands, but how much are people going to pay for a max score of 5 that is just there as entry level screening buffer. I don’t imagine there would be sufficient value to go through the effort of farming these kinds of accounts.

  Not many systems they can’t, but my outline is a lot of hoops to jump through and also has a significant time gate which limits rapid attacks. Also, there’s enough steps for opportunities for pattern detection to sniff out bots here as well
