I don’t want to cancel out other people’s votes, but I do think it’s worth reducing random variance around the null-point, especially since getting into negative karma early basically guarantees no one will see it (since at −5 it’s hidden by default even from the All Posts page).
I wonder whether we can do something programmatically to reduce the high-variance there. For instance, a comment could only be collapsed if there are at least 2 downvotes on it (of any strength).
