What longterm truthtracking or norm-tracking algorithms are you talking about? Can you give a few examples of sociokarma cascades that you think will improved by this complexity? Would adding agree/disagree to top-level posts be sufficient (oh, wait, you’re talking about comments. How does agree/disagree not solve this?)
More fundamentally, why do you care about karma, aside from a very noisy short-term input into whether a post or comment is worth thinking about?
Now if you say “do away with strong votes, and limit karma-based vote multiples to 2x”, I’m fully onboard.
