I think this correctly identifies a problem (not only is it a bad model for reality, it’s also confusing for users IMO). I don’t think extra karma points is the right fix, though, since I imagine a lot of people only care about karma insofar as it’s a proxy for other people’s opinions of their posts, which you can’t just give 30 more of :)
(also it’s weird inasmuch as karma is a proxy for social trust, whereas nuking people probably lowers your social trust)
