This can be experimented with, the easiest approach will be to re-assess the barriers automatically about once a day. It's a lot easier than hard-coding the logic into a whole bunch of tests and assertions of type assert_user_can_do_X.

If anyone is interested to make this work - one can write a management command that analyzes the karma of users and adjusts the settings accordingly.

Management commands are located in directory askbot/management/commands.

Available minimum rep settings are in askbot/conf/minimum_reputation.py.

Say if you want to update setting MIN_REP_TO_VOTE_UP you could code like:

#import askbot live settings
from askbot.conf import settings

settings.update('MIN_REP_TO_VOTE_UP', some_new_value)

The management command is then run via cron job:

python manage.py reassess_karma_barriers

It's best to try and see how this will work. It's not obvious how people will react to having some privileges come and go based on their "karma" standing relative to others.work.
