Older and/or more active users (including mods) will have more likes than newer/lurkier users. But that doesn’t mean that the former are _necessarily_ more helpful than the latter. Would it be too dorky to have a “like index”? (`Karma = Likes / Posts`?)

My hunch is that displaying it with every post would be too noisy, but it could be a nice addition to a user’s profile.
