We've been discussing about changing the voting system and make it as follows:
- Everybody can give a limited amount of phuks ("votes")
- Each user gets sqrt(LEVEL) "votes" per hour
- A user can have up to LEVEL+10 "votes"
- Nobody can downvote until X condition is met and a certain badge is given
- A downvote would cost the same as two upvotes
An example: I'm level 15, so I get 3 votes per hour and I can have up to 25 votes at any time. It takes 9 hours to get 25 votes at 3/hr, so if in those 9 hours I spend my 25 votes, I can still get more for the rest of the day (at 3/hr, up to 72 per day, being level 15).
I'd make a posting limit rate too at 1per hour + (lvl)/2: and max post at 2+(lvl)*2 per day.
A level 15+ club sub. (Still think this is a good idea) Maybe do downvotes regen per hour at (lvl)-5 with cap of (lvl)*2-(15-(lvl)).
That or like PMYA said treat them equally something like a daily of 5+ ((lvl)/2)2 or the classic 2lvl+n.
Maybe remove restrictions with an administrator badge or pillar badge. Pillar badge would be a pillar of the community badge selectively given out to top users lvl20+ not literally hitler, ect. You could attach like a global spam clean up ability to that as well, (which isn't needed now) sort of like Cygnus on voat.
