On: Ask YC: Do you care about Karma?

[gaika]

Simple: karma as a measure of your contributions to the community is not perfect, but it is much better than nothing at all. Do you know a better system?

[kashif → gaika]

That is not a response to the original chain of thought. Nonetheless, karma might be an unnecessary tool for the necessary effect.

Do you know a better system?

Yes, I am suggesting an alternate mechanism which uses only voting on submissions and comments while discarding individual karma.
