It would be pretty easy to add a feature such that once you've seen the karma scores of comments in an article, you can no longer comment on them. That seems like a fair trade to me.

What about alt accounts? Sure, you can try to track that via IP, but by the time you start thinking about that, even this "pretty easy" feature starts being real complex and prone to problems (like misidentification behind NATs, etc).
