Oh, and I'd recommend adding the year to the timestamp, instead of making me read it off the x-axis.

Re timeseries: for cumulative, I mean the y-axis is "total karma accumulated on all things posted by date X", so essentially the integral of the existing graph. I guess it might look similar to the thing you posted, but (at least for me, and for others who mostly post neutral/positive things) it would only rarely go down.

The 30-day one would be "total karma accumulated on all things posted in the thirty days preceding X".

I also did the cumulative chart. I will think about allowing the user to set the dates that are shown on the cumulative chart. It would start with the first comment/post and end with the last, but it would allow you to change the start or end dates if you want.
