If it's combined with comments below some karma threshold are under a link [1], it might work.

It might be good to be able to set the different thresholds for the comments to posts and for the forum.

The only drawback I can see is the risk of malicious downvoting, but I don't have a feeling for how high that risk is.

[1] I'm not sure whether the things that look like links but don't refresh the whole page have another name.

Others can always upvote back to zero.

If comments are downvoted fast enough, they're unlikely to be seen by people who might want to upvote them.

I think there are enough of us who read practically every comment to counteract this sort of thing.
