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.
I think so. But perhaps ability to plonk/accolade should only be given to people with a high level of karma.
To stop the pathological case where people can set up a hundred accounts and accolade themselves (or plonk a rival).
Also - people should be able to adjust their personal "plonk horizon" just as they can with the low-comment threshold at present.
