I thought the karma system was inherited from Reddit. It might be a lot of work to change it.
How about starting by someone finding out how the current karma system works? Even Reddit has no documentation on it; they just say it’s constantly changing.
OTOH, we get some security through obscurity by not knowing how it works. Hopefully no one has analyzed their karmic rise and fall to reverse-engineer the karma rules in order to exploit them.

(I am aware that hope is not a secure safeguard.)
Considering that the source code can be browsed freely on the net, I wouldn’t count much on security by obscurity :)
