Karma Farming

Also known as “Karma Whoring”. Basically asking - or begging - for upvotes and / or karma without being engaged in conversation. Posts asking for or even talking about Karma or awards (e.g. “Upvote all my comments and I’ll upvote yours” or “What’s an award?”) will be at best downvoted or may even earn you a ban. There are very few exceptions to this; your Cakeday being the only legitimate time you can ask for Karma in certain places, or in subs with the specific purpose of talking about (but not asking for) Karma such as r/Karma or, of course, r/NewToReddit.
