Hmm, is the intent behind LW’s karma system really OK with me being cleared for main-level posting for a single comment along these lines (exploiting a silly mistake by the community’s opponent while citing the community’s values, as long as I maintain a solid image of fairness; yes, the sole true reason for not voting down was my hunger for karma)?
Yes. The karma barrier for posting is to prevent spammers, and maybe, maaaybe, n00bs who are about to post something very, very stupid. I mean, if you post something unsuitable in Main all it’ll take is two downvotes and your posting privileges will disappear.
