Stellabelle gets it, and I like this social energy algorithm. I would say that commenting should be counted separately from posting articles. It deserves it's own number. Upvotes on comments would create a score that adds to social capital or energy. If a bot is posting comments, it will lack social capital since nobody will upvote it. IMHO there needs to be a way for a new user to be able to rapidly ascend to a moderate level through a combination of creating content, social interaction, and curation. Someone who does all 3 things religiously should not be a minnow for 5 months, as many are.
