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...
