Make posting cost karma? That raises the break-even bar. I’m sure Open Threads etc that tend to sit near zero will magically get voted up to wherever that bar is after the rule change.
If for example the cost was ten times the 25th percentile of post scores, you know you’ll lose Karma if your post is in the bottom quarter of less wrong posts.

Each upvote is worth 10 karma, each downvote is worth −15? Borderline and controversial posts would get hit hard by this.
Anything this complicated, though, owes it to the author to see both numbers.
