A query containing multiple karma modifications can cause a disproportionate amount of responses. Replies below the timeout treshold (currently implemented as karmaspam) should either remain quiet (easy) or only trigger under certain conditions (hard, because it's unclear what these conditions are).

Partially fixed in 767a5a5. There should a maximum treshold of karma modifications a single event can trigger.

Or group karma output on big requests? like:
"Karmawerte für affe: 32, berg: -1, pilz: 209"
