You might be interested in Median and other techniques to eliminate outliers.

You could even cluster different user types ( "voters" vs "posters" )

Personally I'd like to see a XP per response level stat ( Re^n: ), but accessing the DB is outside of your possibilities.

Sure, using median might help, as would grouping. Any suggestions as to the criteria? :)

Yeah, if only i had db access. It'd be fun to write and run all those queries.

Well you can work around it...

... you can easily order a monks writeups by reputation.

And if you cast votes at certain thresholds (like quantiles) you can even tell the vote range and calculate a statistically solid estimation.

But I wouldn't expect tye to be too happy if you do this automatically and at large scale ;)

update

e.g. after ordering your 863 posts best first and voting in a logarithmic scale I see

Rank  Votes
430    5
215    8
107   13
53    18
26    21
13    26
7     30
