Ask HN: Do karma points work differently after 1000?

4 pointsKillah91110y ago2 comments

Just noticed that after I submitted an article which got quite afew up votes, my karma points went up by less than half that number. Anyone know if that's a bug or afew tire of post 1000 karma? At first I figured someone probably downvoted my comments somewhere, but now I'm noticing that this has been a constant thing.

Upvotes which are suspected to be from sockpuppet accounts do not increment the total karma counter, or count in the weighting of a submission.

There's something busted with the algorithm then, unless some people are secretly stalking me. Even my friends don't know my HN handle.
