Voting system suggestions

[quote=Lugignaf]That's a nice curve you got going on there.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I'm all about nice curves ;)[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]I don't think reputation should be influencing the weight of an opinion. You can already recommend guides which does influence a lot, I don't see any need for increasing a veteran's power in guides.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]This isn't for Veterans to have more power. Everyone has Rep and they get it just like Vets do.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]But if you get enough rep eventually you'll become a veteran. I still don't think my opinion should count more than someone who just registered.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Rep has nothing to do with Veteran status. If you do something good for the site and is active you will get Vet status. You get Rep for helping others on the site. It's up to them to +Rep you.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]But obviously if you do something good for the site you will get rep for it. And I think all votes should be equal. If they're not it will screw up the ratings really bad.. and I really hope matt does not listen to this. What I do want is for down votes to be anonymous. Today I was going to down-vote a guide and ended up deleting my post due to revenge downvoting[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Yes, but that's another matter entirely. This is just an idea that I got that could increase peoples' motivation for helping others. The more you help others the more your voice is heard. It's also only marginally more since you'll max out at 3 voting power at like 1000+reps or even more.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]What I think you guys are missing is that doubling or even tripling the upvoting power won't change much. However, doubling or tripling the downvoting power can be completely devastating. If two people with 40 rep downvote that's 4 downvotes. It can completely sink a newer guide or really hurt a moderate one. As soon as you get to 30+ rep you'll have two choices when voting, either boost it a little bit more or hit it pretty hard. There are guides that I downvoted because I didn't like the way they are built or what they are using the champion for. If my votes counted double I wouldn't have downvoted half the guides I did. I might not like some guide or I think it's stupid, but 2 downvotes is way too much power.[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]This brings up another point. If your votes are worth 2 votes, do you still have the choice to have it just be worth one? Personally I think that the entire idea is too much trouble for something that may not pay off enough.[/quote]
