Agreed. It seemed like a nice hack, but isn't going to work in practice.

That's probably a good first step, however I wonder if long term something like
Marius suggested might be better: remaining karma for an app is...
* proportional to current app karma
* proportional to developer's karma
* proportional to testers' karma
* inversely proportional to the time between
last build and this build.
This'd mean that if I released an app and had it voted up by Ryan, Tim, Daniel,
Quim and a few others on the first karma page; and I released a new version the
next day (short time => probable bug fix); my app might only lose one or two
points.
Maybe this works for time too (or vote by high roller reduces time?) Or maybe
it's just too complicated?
Thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
Andrew
