Sites could let you "import" karma from other sites they recognise. An expert in one area who abuses that to waste people's time as a "newby" elsewhere could be duly penalised at source.

Karma systems are a benchmark system, and like any benchmark they can be gamed and the more elaborate a benchmark is and the more fair it pretends to be, the easier it is to game and the trickier to detect.
LinuxCon: Clay Shirky on collaboration Posted Aug 25, 2011 18:38 UTC (Thu) by sorpigal (subscriber, #36106) [Link] I've often thought there ought to be a way to do federated karma, but no scheme I've been able to imagine would be able to withstand abuse well enough to provide any benefit.
