I’m confused about the difference of your proposal with karma. Is it basically that predictions give/remove karma when they’re respectively correct/incorrect, and thus that a high karma post would probably represent what most best predictors want to see?
Most internet forums are pretty pure democracies. If you can get an account, you can upvote/downvote as much as anyone else and each post you make is graded in a vacuum. I’m proposing an alternative that does not treat all participants equally.
Accurate predictions give you more karma and that karma means your posts/comments/upvotes/downvotes rank higher and have more influence than people who have not built up “accuracy karma”
Do you mean for pushing this culture on LW?

I think you’re interpreting me correctly.
