Refocus karma on discussion, as opposed to submission.
While the quality of discussion here is almost unrivaled (Business Spectator's conversation section is the HN of APAC business), not everyone is here for the discussion. This site is unrivaled as a news aggregator.
Why is a discussion worth more than a submission? Typically a great submission leads to an even greater discussion, but this is not always the case. And sure, we occasionally see low value articles accumulate a lot of points, but the same can be said for the odd low value comment.
not the same, always voted up, uber-submitters
With the exception of PG, who has long since removed himself from the leader board, we don't really see this too much.
