Every other time I have suggested upvoting someone past a karma threshold so they could do a thing, I got downvoted into the negatives. Because, clearly, someone hitting 250 karma and getting to pick their own header color is an enormous threat to the social pecking order and quality of discussion by completely destroying the signal value of karma ranking.
