On the second point, I’m not sure gaming something like EigenKarma would in most cases be a bad thing. If you want to game the trust graph in such a way that I trust you more—then you have to do things that are trustworthy and valuable, as judged by me or whoever you are trying to game.
I think that even people who you trust are susceptible to being gamed. I’m not sure if the amount of susceptibility is important though. For example, Reddit is easier to game than LessWrong; LessWrong is gameable to some extent; but is LessWrong gameable to an important extent?
