One thing that bothers me about LW is that comments and discussion posts had their karma divided by ten (rather than some more moderate number). Surely that has to have taken away too much of the incentive to post good comments, as well as made karma less informative as the measure of general quality of thought that some are taking it for.

I personally wish that people would more often gather their thoughts into coherent arguments and then made into posts, instead of spreading them over many comments. I've tried to encourage people to do this on individual occasions, but mostly without success.
