My point was that the 500 point threshold should be calculated differently. If a user receives an upvote on a comment they submitted, it should be more valuable than an upvote they received on a news item they submitted. Currently, both count equally towards the 500 point threshold.
This would make it less appealing to submit (already popular) articles just for karma benefit.
