Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Exactly. I say this as someone who had nearly a million accumulated on the other site: karma points should only exist in the context of the current discussion, not as an overall tally for the user. Sure, it helps people quickly spot obvious trolls, but the downside is you end up with power-users (Gallowboob anyone?) who only repost content to watch the funny number go up. None of that here, for the love of god.
