I more or less stopped participating a while ago due to decline in comment quality. I'm at 950 karma but if the system works I might make the effort reach 1000 lift the opinions I think are relevant to get this forum back to what I used to enjoy.

The only issue I have is that it might make the groupthink that exists here even worse. Sometimes the descending opinions are very important not just the status quo.

But will see how it goes, I just hope there isn't a rise in parroting comments like you see on stack overflow where people just start copying other people opinions to raise there own karma value, which would entrench the status quo.

If that happens I'll probably be out for good.
