Nothing is quite as satisfying as watching someone who is farming karma getting called out, then seeing them delete their post afterward.

I saw a post about someone making a "controversial" opinion (their words) about liking a game everybody fell in love with. It was a well-known, widely loved, and highly praised videogame that is very good (fires of rubicon). Then, a few hours later, after we called them out on it, they deleted the post.

Back in the day, if I saw some braindead karma farming post on Reddit, I took a look at their post history and quite a few times it was a brand new account. I would simply reply "Welcome to Reddit! How has your first [week/day/hour] been?". I think precisely twice it turned out to be a new human user, the rest of the time they would just delete the comment (or possibly even the account).

Do they lose their karma after deleting the post?

Nah, but it's satisfying to see them bail as soon as they get caught.
