Karma should have equal weight between users.edited to add “between users”
I feel like there is an inherent problem with trying to use the current upvote system to determine whether the current upvote system is good.
Ehhh only if you don’t think you can convince people to change their minds.
Noting that I strongly disagreed with this, rather than it being the case that someone with weighty karma did a normal disagree.
Both weak and strong votes increase in power when you get more karma, although I think for every currently existing user the weak vote is at most 2 (and the strong vote up to 9).
A little ambiguous between “disagree karma & upvote karma should have equal weight” and “karma should have equal weight between people”
Another proposal: Visibility karma remains 1 to 1, and agreement karma acts as a weak multiplier when either positive or negative.
So:
A comment with [ +100 | 0 ] would have a weight of 100
A comment with [ +100 | 0 ] but with 50✅ and 50❌ would have a weight of 100 + log10(50 + 50) = 200
A comment with [ +100 | 100✅ ] would have a weight of say 100 * log10(✓100) = 200
A comment with [+0 | 1000✅ ] would have a weight of 0.
Could also give karma on that basis.
However thinking about it, I think the result would be people would start using the visibility vote to express opinion even more...
