1) I would be curious to see an experiment concerning the karma system, a downvote would cost you (2 karma) an upvote too (1 karma). You gain 1 karma per day if you visited the site, this means as you get to know the community and its codes more and more you get more control.

I think it could increase the value of the karma system, I am seeing a lot of downvotes that I can't explain or that I find unfair. I am also seeing excessive points on some comments.

2) Not related : if you browse someone's comments you may encounter truncated posts titles :

It would be nice to include the full title in the "title" attribute of those links.

That instantly limits you to 1 vote per day unless you yourself get upvoted.

I assume that was your intention ?

This in turn will give the few people that are very active lots of voting power.

The karma here is not so much 'quality' (though that is a component) as much as it is an odometer.
