By definition the inexperienced users would be forced to post potentially marginal content and they may they fear reputation retrobution. Random acts of voting by inexpereinced users is controlled by giving them less numbers of votes to go though.

But I think this could be improved. I would say that as you go up in rank you get more votes you can asign to a single post. So at the third lvl maybe your vote counts for 2 a newbies vote.

The problem right now is a newbie has the same impact on a post as someone experienced. The net amount of bad votes they can assigned are controlled but that just prevent widespread bad voteing.

Thanks for posting this Moron. it is a good topic.
