I personally feel that there should not be more than one negative score for any post/thread i.e. if someone has given a negative vote to a post/thread, then further negative votes should not be allowed. Too many negatives to a thread/post discourages the poster.

I agree on that, even if sometimes a -1 for "gimmie code" AND a -1 for "didn't search first" seems OK, one of them is enough to tell the poster that he/she could have done more before posting.

I don't think posting/scoring by "regulars" is done to earn points, but to help those seeking help in the forum. Posting was done before the srcoring/karma-system started and seems to continue as before.
