Karma is not a very good criterion, it’s too much about participation, and less so about quality. It’s additive.
What about looking at average karma per a comment rather than total karma? That might be a useful metric in general. There may be some people with very high karma that is due to high participation with a lot of mediocre comments. Someone with higher average karma might then be someone more worth paying attention to.
