No. The inequality in votes is intended to do just that - give increased weight to members of the community considered valuable by such.
Were we to give equal weighted votes to all, recent posters with or without an agenda can serve to hinder, obstruct or help obfuscate the issue in dealing with troublesome members.
However, admins and mods will no doubt have the final say, and it is their duty to serve as the final gate keeper when a vote is complete.
To prevent passive votes accumulating from past "sins", I propose that a single vote expire in t time.
An admin panel can be added to display a graph over time to give a casual overview of a member's perceived unpopularity. A baseline should no doubt be added to indicate their popularity relative to the general mean of active members, where active member would be defined as logged in once in the past week.
As long as we have disposable votes representing both well known and new members of the community, we, the admins, have a way to understand how regarded a member is.
By no means should this system enable an automatic assignment to gauntlet, etc,.
This is purely a way for admins and mods to see who is the trouble maker, relatively speaking, and take steps to mitigate, explain or remove the issue.
