Thanks Eliezer. That 10 times multiplier is a big one! Perhaps that may overcome some of my (and other user’s) akrasia when it comes to actually publishing the top-level post worthy ideas that we neglect because spending an hour (for example) feels prohibitive in the moment.
Hopefully this will not lower the quality of top level posts by encouraging people to migrate from comment threads to a top level post prematurely. Even then the process of making that migration may encourage people to think things through more thoroughly.

If they do, downvote them into oblivion and they’ll learn pretty fast (now that negative scores are actually displayed).
That works. Noticing that you have 200 less karma than you did yesterday should give a bit of a hint.
