What real problem does this solve? I have not noticed LW being overrun with prolific but mediocre posters.
The thresholds seem far too low. For example:
-5 recent karma (4+ downvoters) 1 comment per day
Bring three friends on a drive-by shoot.
-15 recent karma (4+ downvoters) 1 comment per 3 days
Didn’t learn their lesson, eh? Hit them again.
-30 last month karma (5+ downvoters) 1 comment per week
Invite all your friends to the dogpile. Repeat if they have the temerity to be wrong on LessWrong again.
I am now more reluctant to strong-downvote anything but the most egregious crackpottery, trolling, and spam.
