I’d say hide vote counts on submissions and comments, don’t grey out anything, and show approx karma eg under 500, 500-1k then to the nearest 1s.f.
Limit submission karma to 10 per post and 10 post karma/week and maybe only if comment to post ratios are met: why do I get 200 karma for pasting a URL and 4 karma for a good comment?
I’ve seen accounts that are clearly submitting NYT and other articles on the hour 24/7 with huge karma.
This is an issue because it means it’s easy to automate creation of 500-karma accounts and have an army of downvoters
