I don't think its that simple. On Reddit there is a single karma number. Setting up a subreddit and calling it X lets karma bleed across from X into the main part of the site. In terms of karma transfer X is on topic whatever we call it.
If the off-topic part of the site is to be karma-separated, this will take coding.
To put it bluntly, HPMoR threads contribute a very non-trivial fraction of karma GDP. Shouldn't you be worried about that?
Yes!
I suggest the most effective way to deal with karma is to ignore it as a consideration in site design. It only matters to accumulate ten or twenty points to post - apart from that it's a video game score in the top-right corner.
