idea: Give points randomly: When an up-vote is given, a random member gets the point. Seeing your comment or submission on the front page is a reward on itself, no need to get extra points too. This can be developed further by randomly selecting only from those who has up-voted the submission, so there would be a higher chance of getting negative points by up-voting "flame-bait" topics.

Eh, what? How is the pool of admissible members chosen? Surely you don't mean "any member gets a point"?

Comments don't show up on the front page, and you don't get points when your submissions are upvoted.

Points are awarded but it is not 1-to-1 with upvotes.
