    Karma has become a part of a measure to determine if an account is a human non-troll.

    The first step in ban evasion is to create a new account and continue doing what you’ve done before. By requiring an account to be a certain age along with a certain amount of karma, it makes sure the account is less likely to be a ban evader.

      That was the original intent. That it became a measuring contest is separate.
