I agree. One thing that bothers me about the karma on stories system is that an extremely popular story gets you an absurd amount of karma. But the thing about extremely popular stories is that they would have been posted by someone else if you didn't post them. So it's really a huge reward for simply being quicker then other users. On the other hand, and obscure story that get's on the board for a few hours, and that no one else would have posted gets much less points. Perhaps stories that make the front page for X amount of time should earn a standard rate of karma for the submitter. Or even just a limit, say you can't get more then 10 karma on a submission.
