You can encourage or enforce your perspective with:
Display karma next to user names everywhere so it’s easily visible and can actually serve as a measure of deference.
Make downvotes count double, triple, or more.
There’s a delicate balance to be struck though: people game the karma system enough as it is. No karma system is ungameable, and greater resistance to gaming means more coding effort.
I think we still got ways to go before we run into diminishing returns.
