Well, Karma works not by one user going on a Karma rampage. Under the ACP, the admin has the options to set for karma to work; those include things such as:
Ratings count before karma:
Number of distinct ratings before users karma is calculated.
Historical ratings weighting:
Ratings made before the previous 30 days
Recent ratings weighting:
Ratings made in past 30 days
Membership length weighting:
Total length of membership
Total posts weighting:
The admin inputs values into those, and then when enough seperate users karma mod a user, their karma is adjusted to the ruleset above.
