It should also be proportional to a voter’s karma. An upvote from established users like gwern or NancyLebovitz should carry more weight than an upvote from a lurker.

those sound like difficult maxims to impart.
That would be simple to implement in the form of giving each user, say, 10 votes per day, non-accumulating.
