That's why I suggested "no net positive karma". It would be the exact same system as you just described, except that votes would be applied to an author's total karma if the cumulative votes for that comment were negative.

I'd prefer a "karma neutral" setting, going both ways: one thing that strikes me as an issue here is that an "open" thread isn't quite as open as it might be if you could declare it safe to post there without worrying about losing karma.
