Possible Duplicate: Indicate How Trustworthy the UpVotes Are
What if, instead of having a hard-coded value of how much rep a
person gets per upvote, if the amount an upvote is worth is
scaled by the rep of the person doing the upvoting?  Example
scale of rep to upvote weight:    • 1-49: 1   • 50-199: 2   •
200-249: 3   • 250-499: 4   • 500-999: 5   • 1000-1499: 6   •
1500-1999: 7   • 2000-2499: 8   • 2500-2999: 9   • 3000-4999: 10
• 5000-9999: 11   • 10000-14999: 12   • 15000-19999: 13   •
20000+: 15  Please, this is just a thought and meant for
discussion and not a request (unless someone high up really
likes the idea).  share|improve this question Since random
