I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more karma categories.
Perhaps we could have two separate sets of thumbs up/thumbs down buttons, one for object-level merit, i.e. how much you agree with what the post is saying, and another for meta-level merit, i.e. how much you think the post is contributing to the discussion and being respectful?

I’d like to see more forums than just “Main” versus “Discussion”. When making a post, the poster should be able to pick which forum or forums they think it is suitable to appear in, and when giving a post a ‘thumb up’, or ‘thumb down’, in addition to being apply to apply it to the content of the post itself, it should also be possible to apply it to the appropriateness of the post to a particular forum.
So, for example, if someone posted a detailed account of a discussion that happened at a particular meetup, this would allow you to indicate that the content itself is good, but that it is more suitable for the “Meetups” forum (or tag?), than for main.
A detailed discussion of what happened at a meetup might well belong in discussion or even main if what’s important is the discussion rather than the meetupness.
There’s at least one more category that I want to see at least discouraged—the person whose posts are boring and numerous.

Would you be willing to post some of your ideas here that have gone over well on FB and/or meetups?
I think once I organize my thoughts on some of the topics enough, I will give it a go with a post or two.
