Public user karma graphs for users as well as posts seem an interesting if slightly cluttering user interface addition [a neat little graph icon next to the quote bubbles and the chain link], that might help combat this while having the neat benefit of making it easier to infer all sorts of things.
I see my karma go up without anything on my first page of comments changing all the time; it makes me wish I could see all recent changes to my karma so I could go back and participate in any older discussions that might be re-opening.
Upvoting isn't enough. I agree so much. I'm marginally obsessive about it - I don't have very many, so I'm often able to sift through my comments and see what has changed.
I don't have the link handy (the site could also use much better search), but I've mentioned wanting the same thing for the same reasons.
Perhaps sparklines would work for this. They compress the recent history of a measurement in a space-efficient way which can fit inline with text.
They would fit neatly next to the upvote / downvote buttons.
However nicely they would fit, they should not be used, though. I am in the mind of the diagram about the effect Google's proxy is having on web content - to the extent that karma is not a perfect proxy for good content, sparklines will make it easier to identify that proxy and where it can be gamed.
