This might make people even more reluctant to downvote. If a downvote removed a thousand points of karma, I would almost never use one. I’m more comfortable giving metaphorical slaps on the wrist the lighter the slap, so to speak. It’s possible I’m typical minding here.
That said, if you did this and did not announce it, my downvote habits wouldn’t change and this would work more or less as intended.
