You meant what might happen to LW’s culture? I really don’t know. I’m not sure about the effects of long term accumulation of karma on other people. I almost never look at other people’s karma totals.
How about if your karma score reflected only the karma you’d collected in the past few months? Or if it was weighted by how recently you’d collected it?
