I believe you have to have a certain amount of karma. Not much, though, since I can see it with less than 20 karma.
There also seem to be other limitations, such as not being able to vote down replies to your comments or stories.

Sorry about that aston and immad. Even I believe its not 0.5 deterministically, but I think it averages to 0.5. The system appears far more adaptive/dynamic than a completely deterministic model as suggested by the formula. But again, its a model. My friend, up-voted me once each for two separate comments, but my Karma remained the same. As a matter of fact, I observed something similar with the submissions as well.…
How'd your friend up vote the same comment twice? As far as I know, the system only counts one vote per user per comment or post.

Do karma point ever go negative? If they dont (which is my view) then the sum of comments is rounded to 0 if less than 0. Karma = [SUM(KP1,KP2,..KPn) - n] + ROUND0[0.5x((KC1,KC2...KCm) - m)] I changed ROUND to ROUND0 where ROUND0 always returns 0 or more. Is there a math way of representing that, that I cant remember?
This should be a philosophical question for Paul. Can the Karma be negative for a user? The trade-off then would be between absolute web democracy Vs keeping the users 'happy' (capitalistic?)

Would make me happy, I comment more than I submit. ;-) OTOH, actual submissions are often more detailed and well-thought-out than simple comments. So maybe this is the right way after all.
Or it's something new. It is a news site, after all. I'm a commenter too. I figure once I learn enough and have something significant to contribute, I'll start a blog.

Am I the only person left who thinks that blogs are generally a big waste of time? At least if some product I'm designing fails, I will have advanced my skills by creating it. Is having written a failed blog supposed to make me a great writer?
