Hm. Right now, you can't downvote more than you've been upvoted. Suppose a Plonk costs 1000 downvotes, could only be applied once per user-pair, and increased the minimum viewability threshold of a user by 1. So if two people Plonked timtyler, his comments would start disappearing once they'd been voted down to -1, instead of -3. The opposite of a Plonk would be an Accolade and that would make comments harder to hide, lowering the threshold by 1?
Doesn't actually sound like a good idea to me, but I do sometimes get the sense that there ought to be better incentives for people to take hints.
Automatic threshold effect seems like a bad idea, but displaying the Plonk score alongside total Karma on the user page might prove effective at making community's perception of the user available.
(I presently have exactly two users I wish to "Plonk", Tim one of them and the other I would rather only indicate anonymously, and I want a socially appropriate and persistent method of showing this opinion.)
