I don't know much about Karma points, but it seems that you could technically spam an old post and get 1,000 karma points in a couple of minutes, so I don't really think its worth much.
But what I like about HN is that you can read every single user's comments that they've posted and use that to vet how good of a user they really are.

When HN had 50 members, it was much harder to earn 100 karma than it would be today when it has thousands of users. Just like with money as it becomes easier to acquire something it has less value. However your point is all too valid sadly - that because karma is so easily games and has always been - there may be little point to asking such questions.
