I'm not sure If I'm a counter example to this or not. I never voted on any stories on reddit. So that would make me part of the non-voting majority. But recently I felt the urge to upvote all Ron Paul stories to help his campaign.

> recently I felt the urge to upvote all Ron Paul stories to help his campaign. This is exactly what I mean about a design flaw. It only takes a hundred people who do this, on a site with hundreds of thousands of readers.

    Don't make my life difficult. I have other stuff I need to work on. Don't make me spend hours babysitting news.yc and implementing countermeasures against abuse.

    We already seem to have a nice tradition of giving lots of votes to "hey, check out what I did ..." articles. I really like that - it adds to the sense of community that other people are supportive of your efforts.
