Perlmonks does this, and based on your total karma you are given a higher daily limit to spend. Works quite well.

I always think of the Perlmonk progression as a good idea. It will require a radical departure in use/interaction and might be seen as too controlled. PM had the advantage of doing this from the start (as far as I know) PM #244776

Perlmonks had that as part of the structure from the time I arrived there. Which was in the first few months.

It certainly works. I always go there ready to really think twice before I post & you learn. HN appears to be more OpEd a lot of the times.

Perlmonks certainly works. However I don't think that the level system is the reason. My opinion is that the real reason is that a good community was established early, and then a focused remit maintained it.

Ironically that is one of the reasons why I lost interest. My interests moved on. A small fraction of the conversations taught me anything interesting. And so I drifted away. However the focused remit is essential for maintaining that community as it is, even if I am no longer that big a part of it.

Incidentally I am http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=tilly there, and http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=754085 describes some of the early history of how it came to be as it is.
