You mean a Sybil attack[0]? It's probably been done countless times on HN. Although if the bots are posting interesting things and are not commenting in bad faith, then we should welcome that. Karma is a useless metric in the grand scheme of things, and having lots of karma means nothing to me (and I'm not a bot BTW). I just enjoy my downvote privilege which means I can mini-moderate without having to be someone like @dang or other admins.
