MODERATORS
 

There is already a total count of up- and downvotes, but please never add karma to Lemmy. We don't want to deal with karma farmers and minimal karma requirements to post. I don't care about the moderation issues because karma brought more harm than good. Please never add that bloody dreadful thing to Lemmy. I already saw a bunch of people supporting adding karma to Lemmy, which will turn Lemmy into a cheap Reddit clone and karma-farming hell. Please, never add karma to Lemmy. I beg you. No more karma hell.

I'm gonna make my own instance with karma...once you hit a set limit your account is locked forever and your ip blocked for 30days...

Soon: "Karma's getting too high. Time to go a'trolling!"

You're banned after you get 300 positive votes, irrespective of how many negatives you have. Easy.

In the board game "Gloomhaven", you pick a character class until you achieve your characters assigned personal quest, at which point that character is retired, a new class is unlocked and you get to pick a new character. Starting a new character is sometimes tough if you were attached to the other class abilities and enjoyed the current team synergy, but the rotation is a key part of the game.

So like, that, but reddit-style

That's a great idea.

Love this. It's sort of the same principle as outlawing billionaires.
