In practice any such implementations will lead to elitism. Trolls or no trolls, we look a contributions and not contributors, so everyone should be able to make their say count.

Right now the AfD process is mostly controlled by the "small focused minority" who find it worth their while to comment on every AfD. I would put it forward that this process does not involve a large part of the community, although it is setup to allow anyone to contribute, many people prefer to put effort into developing articles rather than trying to argue, generally with futile results due to the "majority vote" closing techniques used which negate focused comments further than referring to the "nom" or their impression of "notability", mostly using the "google test".
