Here's an idea that may or may not have unintended consequences - I haven't thought about it long enough yet...
For every down-vote a comment receives, give some fraction of an up-vote to that comment's parent.
The idea is that, even if someone is rude and doesn't care about their own karma, if they are sufficiently rude they will actually wind up helping the person that they insult.
- dfranke 19y agoThat would lead to people creating sockpuppet accounts with which to flame themselves. (Admittedly, I would find this amusing.)
- abstractbill 19y agoYes, of course you're correct (on both counts!)
- franky-d 19y agoWhat kind of moron would bother doing that?
