I think that impact of an upvote or a downvote should be inversely proportional to how often that person votes.

new accounts would get better weighting votes. would need a fix for the case of new users.

It should also be proportional to a voter's karma. An upvote from established users like gwern or NancyLebovitz should carry more weight than an upvote from a lurker.

sounds like the road to an echo chamber.

Depends. If the initial set of high karma users isn't homogeneous or if they aren't willing to upvote comments just because they agree with them then not necessarily.

those sound like difficult maxims to impart.
