Hey Nathan, I can imagine people abusing this though where they just keep making polls to gain karma. I think 100 karma gained via a poll is less value than 100 karma gained from posts or comments, so I’d rather balance it out by allowing people to downvote a comment. Currently, I’ve gotten 29 upvotes and 12 downvotes, so I think it’s fair that the value of this poll is only worth roughly half the karma of a normal post/comment. I imagine in future polls, not everyone will downvote—only those that think karma gained through polls is not fair.
Hey everyone if you think Brian is wrong about not deserving lots of Karma for posting an interesting and well thought out question you can just upvote this reply he made (I did).

I suggest that if people were seen to be abusing the functionality people wouldn’t upvote those posts.
I can understand that post karma should be worth more than comment karma though.
Also, I’m not sure how much the community cares about karma. Not saying it doesn’t, I just don’t know.
