So, i've been obsessed with the concept that uber and lyft rates both the operator and rider. Now, it may already exist, but i've never understood the idea of new commenters being allowed equal weight with those of established reputation. Reddit may do well shadow-banning, but the effect that known trolls continuously show up at all seems a problem. I've always thought we out to be putting people with reputations' comments by people with similar reputations' eyes, and noobs' comments to noobs' eyes. Once the new people have established them as reasonable people, they start showing up more to people who have built a reputation. Not just gross, net, or average karma, but i think to do it right, you'd need some sort of handicapping system like golf. On a good day, to you provide good content, great. If so, we'll rank you higher in the feeds of others with good handicap. Not every comment will hurt you if it's not helpful (we all have bad days, and everyone is occasionally grumpy), but if more often than not, your comments are terrible you're aren't going to be placed high in the feeds of those who are more socially adjusted. One downside is that if some lurker who is an expert in the subject comes alone, he or she may no be able to participate in with all, but in communities like reddit or these, if you cannot pass some threshold, then you're not really a part of the community anyhow. Another downside i see is that lurkers are a major portion of theses websites revenues, and the sites don't really want to remove content from their eyes. I'm not sure how to fix that issue, but for well establish sites, i think filtering via similar karma-type levels would surely bring up the discourse for those who want to have it, while keeping the trolls trolling other trolls (which is rather interesting to watch anyway).
