Ask HN: Should links from popular blogs be excluded from karma pts?

My suggestion: Make Karma (and other points) COMPLETELY invisible in the system. Make them invisible in the UI, the system uses them behind the scenes to rank and order data, but never display them.

I like seeing the individual karma points on links, if I see an interesting link with a lot of karma, it shows that a lot of individuals found it interesting, as with the opposite. I find it helpful.

I don't see how that addresses this problem. Even if people can't see each other's e-peen, they will still seek to embiggen their own.
