I think it should scale but less than it does now. The power goes to my head....
In all seriousness I thin + 2 for a new user strong upvote and +8 for a high Karma user is too much of a gap. Maybe +4 or +5 would be enough? I know this is a specific case, but I feel sometimes deep in an animal welfare threads you can make a reasonable comment and be downvoted to oblivion pretty quickly by a couple of heavy downvotes. But I would say that....
As anecdata here’s an example of a fairly reasonable comment from a few hours ago that would be negative karma without my strong upvote....
