Which means that you won’t be able to downvote anyone for considerable time in the future. This is a bug, the limitation shouldn’t apply retroactively. And maybe one should be given 3x amount of Karma for downvoting. Ideally, of course, the votes should just be weighted, so that you can mark any post, maybe on a scale, and all of the posts you ever voted for get a rating change according to your overall Karma (this shouldn’t be linear, something more stable like square root or even logarithm).
Present Karma affecting future votes, or present karma affecting all votes cast? I can see arguments for both, although I worry that the latter might not be stable or computable for certain sets of parameters (my downvote lowers your karma which weakens your upvote which lowers my karma which weakens the aforementioned downvote, etc...)

Just so long as I get to be a multiclass fighter/rogue/sorcerer who specializes in enchantment spells, I’ll be happy.
