Also, while I don't loce what I'm about to suggest it makes sense: 1 upvote = 1 + (Account Age In Years / 2) Or some metric discounting (but not eliminating) new accounts while proportionately weighing soneones contribution/participation in the community. while to some extent everyone should be represented, but some members of the community have been here much longer, are much more knowledgeable, and participate a lot more. they helped shape the community, etc and may have gone to YC in early days. ive been here for ~2 years, i know a little bit about tech and startups, however(and this doesnt map 1:1) some people helped build this community and are core contributors, there votes (as their advice) is worth some percentage more.
