Do you mean this? Honestly, I think such users are a crystal-clear example of the rare instance when technical restrictions are justified. While I don’t think karma scores should be the sole criteria of this, the fact that this user has been allowed to reach a score of −513 is quite striking.
You want high rationality people to be rude to irrational or trollish newcomers? Given that the function of the newcomer-behavior is probably attention, I’m not sure we should positively reinforce the behavior if we don’t want it.
And I don’t see how we can cause high-rationality people to be low status, or why we would want to? (It isn’t like newcomers have much idea who is high status or low status).
Hmm. I’m not sure we want more monkeymind posts, which seems to be a desired goal of your proposed policy.

I think I don’t understand your proposal.
