By "gamification" I mean "you get points for behavior." This is true of every subreddit and every account. Reddit makes a lot more sense when you realize that a moderator's ability to influence a subreddit is the same as an individual user's ability to influence a subreddit... plus CSS and scripting. Combine that with the fact that their hires make piss-poor money and deal with a wretched internal communications culture and you soon realize that even the "admins" have little control over the process.
