Whether eliminating submission karma or just tuning it, that's not a bad idea - that could get rid of the incentive to be the first to post techcrunch etc. stuff that may be voted up. So much good stuff spills off the front page just because it didn't get several votes within the first half hour (and/or wasn't submitted at prime time for EST or PST readers).
