Here's the new thread for posting quotes, with the usual rules:

Please post all quotes separately, so that they can be voted up/down separately. (If they are strongly related, reply to your own comments. If strongly ordered, then go ahead and post them together.)
Do not quote yourself
Do not quote comments/posts on LW/OB
No more than 5 quotes per person per monthly thread, please.

You need to come up with a detailed written strategy for maximizing karma with minimal actual contribution.

Create a dozen sockpuppet accounts and use them to upvote every single one of your posts. Duh.

That's like getting a black belt in karate by buying one from the martial arts shop. It isn't karmawhoring unless you're getting karma from real people who really thought your comments worth upvoting.
