I don’t know if that’s the norm, but the code behind this site doesn’t give karma to a comment, but to an account also. Whenever you upvote something, you’re giving two points: one to the comment and one to the author. Since I’m not able to separate the two, I prefer to abstain in the case of a throwaway account, while I’m usually very liberal in the upvote I give.
