Consider the prior art, here. The first place I saw the "reply to any negatively-scored comment inherits the parent's score" concept was at SensibleErection. That policy has been in place there longer than LW has been a forum (possibly longer than reddit), so it seems to work for them.
Prior art for special "oldschool/karma-proven" sections: hacker news. Paul Graham is intensely interested in keeping a high-quality forum going, and is very willing to experiment. Here's the normal frontpage, here's the oldschool view, and here's the recent members view. Hacker news also has several threshholds for voting privileges.
One more step HN took is hiding comment scores, while continuing to sort comments from highest to lowest. It's dramatic, almost draconian, but it definitely had an effect on the karma tournament system
As far as I understand, the "noobstories" list is all the articles submitted by new accounts in reverse chronological order, while HN Classic is the current front page sorted according to the votes of "old" members.
