not really, since that will put a lot of emphasis on comments, so downvoting someone would hurt them even more

- chollida1 16y agoI don't see your argument. My point is if you remove karma for submitted stories you only get people who earned the right to downvote via well thought out comments. My hypothesis is that these are the type of people who are more likely to counter a point they disagree with, with a well thought out comment, rather than a downvote, as that's how they got the karma they have to begin with.
- terrym 16y agoDoesn't every comment start with 1 point, though? People trying to game the system could still do so simply by commenting a lot (maybe on older, less visible submissions that won't get them down-votes). Maybe every comment should start at 0 points?
- kranner 16y agoI believe you don't actually earn a point until someone upvotes you away from that default 1.
