Here is a simpler formula: vote = max(10,floor(karma/1000)) If I get an upvote from tptacek, I'd get 10 pts but a down vote will send me to oblivion at on

Here is a simpler formula: vote = max(10,floor(karma/1000)) If I get an upvote from tptacek, I'd get 10 pts but a down vote will send me to oblivion at once. At the same time noobs don't have voting power until they get enough karma, increasing comment quality. Trolls who get below -100 will be automatically hellbanned.

Via that strategy old users become tyrants; even if we assume they are wise, there is the danger that karma whores will become the next generation of tyrants.
