#2The conversation moves too fast for the points (karma) to matter. I can't see how this would work.
Comments drop off as the conversation continues, removing any relevancy to the points. You can't "hold" highly-rated comments because they'll end up out of context.

#3Not really sure what to make of this. It's a bad implementation[0] of a chatroom with up and down votes on each message. I don't like the idea of real time karma. There is enough discussion about why something is up voted or down voted when you are constrained by the slowness of a forum system.
[0] Bad because of the way the text wraps if the lines you submit are too long and it requires the use of http. There is only one room, etc.

$("#allchats a:nth-child(1)").click();

there's also no way that I can see that this can be fixed (in its current implementation)...
if you somehow had a history of highly voted comments, you would need all the other comments to get context, but then some of those comments might be already be downvoted to hell, etc...
also, by their nature, chatroom messages are short and often only address one part of a conversation. I don't see how there will be enough time for users to provide a meaningful upvote/downvote for anything not obviously inflammatory.

This is pretty much a perfect example of an idea so bad, even its creator should have realized it and dropped it before it got anywhere near the implementation stage.

To enable multiple voting:
votedIds={length: 0, push: function(){}};Re: Hey, check out this new concept for a chatroom I made

The only possible way I can see this redeaming itself, is if the author comes out and claims that it is a joke. Meant to be a parody of other karma systems.

I just did it to practice my programming...
