You're right but because it's logarithmic, the difference is nominal and evaporates as a new member makes more posts.
Plus, what is the downside to encouraging new members to post?
- ryaf 14y agoBecause newer members not familiar with the guidelines typically post the more inflammatory comments that we have seen as of late.

Also, to state the obvious, every member here was a new member at one time and I'm not ready to say that is "typical" behavior. It's just very memorable behavior. The whole reason why I submitted this was because PG said it wasn't the comments that cause issues but that bad comments were getting upvoted too much.
