A cap isn't ridiculous, but comments sometimes get hammered nearly that much. It should always be riskier to try a top level post than a comment. -50 sounds closer to right to me.
I think what I was trying to avoid was new users being hammered into the negative more than finding the appropriate maximum karma penalty. So if we go with -50 as the top level post max loss, the posting karma threshold should be 50.
Sounds like a plan to me... Although, do we want to take into account that unpopular top-level posts often have beneath them many downvoted comments by the same author who's trying to defend the unpopular idea?
