You partly misunderstood my complaints (and I think those of VDVsx too).

I agree with you; I think the karma for the posts is very low.

My main complaint is that "comments" and mailing list "discussion" are weighted much too highly.

But I also think active, popular apps should get more karma than they do.

Interestingly, most of the "thanks" karma is actually related to my app development. By using ITT / tmo as my bugzilla / discussion forum for my app(s), I generated "thanks" that were more about "thanks for the app" than "thanks for that helpful comment".

It well behooves app developers to use the forums to discuss their apps.
I completely understand what your saying, as most of my thanks are related to my hackings or software I posted on ITT. I am not misunderstanding, I am just focusing on another aspect. The point of my initial post/email to council, was to outline just that fact. I do NOT want to adjust it so developers earn more than other contributors. I understand that maybe something needs to change to equalize the process, but not make in unbalanced in another direction.

Proposed values
5 Stars app: Max. 300p

After 4 years I have a total of 437 Karma, I do not believe that it is fair to give up to 300 points of Karma for one application.
