- alexgartrell 16y agoI feel that the downvoting privilege should be based off of both total karma and average karma per post. I delete ~40% of what I write after I determine that it's not really adding something, and that's really a habit that most people would benefit from. I've found that most of the people with high karma and low averages just say snarky one-liners all of the time and some of that happens to land with people (for better or worse) giving them a decent amount of karma despite a lack of contribution.

- JoeAltmaier 16y agoHm, my average is lower than that. But I hope its not because of 'snarky one-liners'. Its often because my comments are on unpopular threads.
