When I read the point thing without having read this post first, my first thought was “wait, voting costs karma?” and then “hm, that’s an interesting system, I’ll have to reconsider what I give +9 to!”
I can see a lot of reasons why such a system would not be good, like people having different amounts of karma, and even if we adjust somehow, people care differently about their karma, and also it may just not be wise to have voting be punitive. But I’m still intrigued by the idea of voting that has a real cost, and how that would change what people do, even if such a system probably wouldn’t work.
