The karma thing seems to suffer from the fact that karma doesn’t actually have any real use at the moment, hurting the currency metaphor. Something like a Stack Exchange-style system of privileges tied to karma levels might help with that, if indeed we want karma to work as something like a currency.

Having a higher voting weight does feel like a privilege to me.
Stackoverflow really is the model here. Earning new privileges is fun and they space them out nicely!
Yeah, we’ve actually been moving in that direction a bunch. You should soon get more privileges with more karma.
