One other thing about karma farming and why we’re always on the lookout for it: people deliberately inflate it so they could sell the account. It is then used to astroturf or even more evil purposes like scamming in marketplaces. Sa r/thevisoria nga lang, we get those requests semi-regularly to the point I had to make a specific rule about it — pano pa kaya sa mga bigger classified ads subs?

Kaya sometimes may makakalusot na karma farm if it appears to be from a legit user. Annoying yes, but nothing nefarious per se. But someone na walang history sa r/PH at all, posting thread after thread after thread about “Anong kwentong commute mo” or “What is the best burger and why is it not Champ?” — we try to shut that shit down quickly.
