Ask HN: Elitism/Veteran ranking order of links

Instead of regulated democratic order, allow an option to view links/threads and comments where elder's up/down votes are counted more. Algorithm example: 3 comments, pg, Joakal and noob with respective registration dates from old to newest. All things equal, their comments would be listed pg (3 points) - Okay comment Joakal (2 points) - Great comment noob (1 point) - Thanks for the link A new account started up just now noobviagra and posts, the posts are upgraded: pg (4 points) Joakal (3 points) noob (2 points) noobviagra (1 point) - Offers social network equity If someone has an account older than pg, then their vote would count more than pg. But, it puts pressure on veterans contributing the votes to best understand HN and not abuse it. Note: Instead of registration period, it could be replaced by karma totals.
