Note, the edit comment read: "(should a user with
only one edit really get
a vote? )"
Well. Other perfectly well integrated editors have
done similar things. Ie, considering the point of
view
of editors who had made a very small number of
contributions had less weight than them. Imho, that
makes sense. Also, he did not try to "cheat" and
make
the change with noone being aware of it, since he
put
a comment.
I think were more and more things be decided by
votes
(how sad), there is perhaps need to check whether
there is no double voting.
IMHO, software-bound voting could help in most cases.
We shouldn't be facing the problem of people deleting
other people's votes. There is probably a php/mysql
script for it, and if not, we can just use an external
voting system (many websites will let you set up a
poll for free).
