Listen, you have people like Eugene with their army of upvoting/downvoting sockpuppets, etc.

But is there an etc.? Sure, we have one not huge sockpuppet army which pops up once in a while, but besides that I don't see karma as much abused here.

Of course the real question is whether it signifies anything except mob likes. In many areas allowing the likes to lead you is a really bad idea.
