Nah. Reddit showed that karma systems are useless as they are too easy to manipulate. Buy/hijack a bunch of old accounts and suddenly, your scams or crazy propaganda are given artificial authenticity. Or, just use repost bots to farm karma. Really, it was a nice idea but failed when subject to bad actors.
