That system would also ban people for some time after they set up a poll. Perhaps it would be better to let K bet the total Karma of all comments, not just negative Karma comments, so good comments could offset bad ones.
This could just make implementation of a polling system a dependence. Total Karma probably wouldn’t work, most of the edge cases where it’s not totally obvious that the user should be removed allow for a positive average balance. Also, one of the use cases applies to established contributors going into a wrong mode, in which case they’d be quite capable of offsetting the downvotes.

I agree, provided we really do add a poll feature first.
