Then when their K gets below a certain figure or (%age of what they had or %reduction) they can't post for a week, 10 days, or something.
Or will this lead to vigilante (ism) or too complicated.

Bad idea. When someone posts a perfectly legal but unpopular idea, they'll get de-karmaed by everyone who disagrees with them. Take the argument I was having with some of the OTW followers regarding the "proper" role of men and women in fanfic. They disagreed with me, strongly (of course, I was right). You think my karma wouldn't have been a smoking crater if they could have done that? And that's just over whether sorting people by sex is a good idea or not. Imagine what would have happened if I'd been defending an unpopular religious viewpoint.
It's not popular speech that needs protection. MR doesn't need to empower mobs.
