In the only cases I’ve seen where I’ve had grounds for suspicion about who was doing the karmassassination, the person I thought was the culprit was a high-karma long-established LWer.
(But there is some bias here; such people are likely to be more salient as candidates for who the culprit is. And in no case have I been very sure who was responsible.)
I like this fix. If the mass voters tend to have low karma, you could also make this a fix that only applies to people below some karma threshold.

I think even the best of us are susceptible to the keyboard warrior berserk mode.
