I'd prefer no visible "karma" at all. Karma should define a comment's placing in the thread/a posts' placing on the main page - nothing more. No user karma. Also no user nicknames - if we had a truly anonymous discussion culture there would be more interesting discussions and people wouldn't be afraid of posting controversial opinions.

Also no user nicknames - if we had a truly anonymous discussion culture there would be more interesting discussions and people wouldn't be afraid of posting controversial opinions. Perhaps. However, anonymity also tends to bring out the worst social behaviors. And if everyone was completely anonymous to that degree, you couldn't figure out if you were consistently being harassed by a particular individual or if all the snarky comments aimed at you came from different people. Peace.
