There was an interesting comment in another HN thread, where something like this got talked about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29558521

Applying that theory here would be to create a feedback loop where the Herman Cain Award content causes more digging in, causes more deaths, generates more Herman Cain Awards. Imagine if you were the creator or an early adopter/moderator of such a community and it grows explosively... If the theory is correct, this is a highly profitable activity for capitalizing socially on the deaths of your political enemies, and while controversial, could net you a status as a lionized hero in some communities, the ones who are sick and tired of the political enemies due to past experiences, and love seeing members of them die.
