Remove DV links from a person’s “past comment” page unless viewed in context.
(After the recent comment thread dfranke sparked, I lost a large number of upvotes from my past comments, which were previously almost uniformly weakly positively ranked. I assume my previous posts had not suddenly reduced in quality, and that someone had simply decided to go through and punish me. Making people view a comment in context—one more mouse click—would make this unconstructive action less convenient and less likely.)
I recently attended a talk by Alexis Ohanian, one of the Reddit founders, in which he led the audience to believe that, on Reddit, votes on past comments out of context only appear to work, but actually have no effect.
I have not tested this on either Reddit or LessWrong.

If we do that, we might want to remove upvote option from that as well.
