How does the caarzonrent got 3 karma for his account with an hour of his account creation. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=caarzonrent

Was able to a submission too.

There are no minimum karma requirements for posting.

Accounts start with 1 karma, the submission got 2 upvotes so that makes 3 karma total.

I thought the submission was spam and flagged it, I won't speculate as to how it got 2 upvotes.

AFAIK submissions do not need minimum karma, and 3 people clicked the "upvote" button on this submission (thus, 3 karma).

It might also be more people clicked upvote, but some other users downvoted it.

You can't downvote submissions. Afaik flagging does not affect karma.
