Or one upvote regardless of downvotes, unless there are bots that upvote posts.

Hmm, so to be attack-resistant you'd need:

  • at least one karma point to post in discussion
  • at least one karma point before you can vote at all
  • admins to look for accounts that are used to upvote spam accounts

How are initial points distributed then? If you need points to post, how do you get that initial point?

You can comment without points.

Which means that the spammers will move to submitting comments.

Still that is better than spammy posts in my opinion.
