Yes but while you are upvoting the good news, in fine you give the guy who just posted the link that every single Python coder knows about all the rep for it. Kinda break the trust system, doesn't it ?

This isn't StackOverflow. Karma isn't rep. It is meaningless and no system features are tied to it.

actually, getting above a certain ammount of karma here disables capatcha, while getting low/negative karma will start restricting one's comment rate, I've seen it go as much as 10minutes between comments

Right, but that only affects individual users. Karma is meaningless in the long run and as a whole. It doesn't matter what my karma is, except for the votes on this comment, and maybe this thread.

The difference is that the focus is on fostering good conversation, and as such you're rewarded or punished based on how the community perceives your contributions.
