Not sure if upvote = tips is a fantastic idea or a way for trolls and dramatic people to make a living.

Instead of paying trolls, monetizing trolls might be a good idea. You could have people buy karma, buy mod rights, buy out other people's mod rights, etc.

Of course posting and downvoting would have a karma cost.
