Ask HN: Do karma points work differently after 1000?

by Killah911 on 2/23/16, 3:19 PM with 2 comments

Just noticed that after I submitted an article which got quite afew up votes, my karma points went up by less than half that number. Anyone know if that's a bug or afew tire of post 1000 karma? At first I figured someone probably downvoted my comments somewhere, but now I'm noticing that this has been a constant thing.

    Upvotes which are suspected to be from sockpuppet accounts do not increment the total karma counter, or count in the weighting of a submission.
