It would make me unhappy. I like the idea that my karma will probably go up indefinitely though slowly, as long as the site lasts.
You meant what might happen to LW’s culture? I really don’t know. I’m not sure about the effects of long term accumulation of karma on other people. I almost never look at other people’s karma totals.
How about if your karma score reflected only the karma you’d collected in the past few months? Or if it was weighted by how recently you’d collected it?
I’d kind of like to have both—current and discounted.
It’s not a great big deal. I think that if there was a change to discounted karma, I’d be sad for a fairly brief period, and then adjust to the new state of affairs.

Personally, I like the upward karma creep, both as motivation to keep posting and to give longtime posters more credibility.
