I hadn’t thought advanced karma farming was possible… since those would be significant enough to attract moderator attention.
The simple karma farming I can understand since there are too many attempts. So they just let automated filters deal with it and a few might slip through.
Edit: Unless the mods dont bother removing all the falsely accumulated karma after catching the advanced farming rings. Then I could see that being constantly done.
- filup 4mo agoThe karma street credit system was not designed with LLM's in mind. It's going to be harder and harder to determine the legitimacy of a post or reply. There will be no good way to determine if your speaking to a human because it will become completly indistinguishable. The good news for HN is it's slightly easier to navigate and use judgement with post history. What can you do with a lot of high karma accounts? Alot. Planting seeds in this community can go a very long way.
