Does anyone know of any precedent for granting equity to a community site's users? I'm curious to see what sort of dynamic this creates in the site.

With any internet community it seems, given enough time, you get saturated by users 'gaming' it for points/karma/post count/etc. So now the same small number of nothing-else-to-do reddit users trawling the archives for repostable karma material have one more incentive to keep up the high-karma-low-content submissions: money. Sorry for the cynicism.
