Saying Goodbye to Reddit Award Karma and How it May Effect You
Are you one of the folks who recently checked your account karma and noticed some gone? Maybe even thousands just disappeared overnight?Breathe! Your account is fine! We are just seeing our award karma going away.
Sunsetting Award Karma
In the past Reddit had a system called awards. Other users could grant you awards based on your posts or comments. Those awards then gave you award karma. A while ago Reddit moved away from the award system and discontinued that. Very recently they have sunsetted award karma as well. That karma is any karma you gained from receiving or giving awards to other users.
Admin u/Werksquan has stated however that this should NOT impact us When it comes to whether or not we can post in communities where karma is needed to participate. Comment, post, and community karma will continue to accrue and be counted as usual.
This looks like the final nail in the coffin for Reddit awards and it seems that those are now fully in the past for the platform.
Final Thoughts
Once again, deep breath. You did not get penalized. It’s highly likely your CQS score was not affected by this, and your access to subreddits and communities with karma restrictions should not be affected by this. This is just their final step in letting go of the award system completely.
