That is not the same setup. That purposal has a global karma score, ours is personal. The system we evolved EigenKarma from worked like that, and EigenKarma can be used like that if you want to. I don’t see why decoupling the scores on your posts from your karma is a particularly big problem. I’m not particularly interested in the sum of upvotes: it is whatever information can be wrangled out of that which is interesting.
FYI, eigenkarma’s been proposed for LessWrong multiple times (with issues supposedly found); see https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xN2sHnLupWe4Tn5we/improving-on-the-karma-system#Eigenkarma for example.
