Problem:
There are many many polite or on topic posts that are not very good or even inane which hover at 0 or 1 karma. For many readers they simply aren't worth the opportunity cost .
Idea:
Set the default visible level not to 0 but to 2 karma or some such number, much like people can currently set negative comments to unhidden. The exception to this should be when "Sort By" is set to "New".
I think that could severely inhibit the growth of discussion. Every new comment starts at 0 karma, and if some people didn't see those comments they wouldn't get a chance to upvote them, and they would stay at 0.
And when it is set to "Old".
