| May 9, 2014 at 13:05 | comment | added | Michael Joyce | Not that I think this is necessarily a realistic proposal, but it sounds like valuing the vote of someone with $p$ reputation points by an amount proportional to $\log(p)$ would allow more experienced individuals to have a bigger influence on the site's valuing of question and answer quality without drowning out the opinions of inexperienced users. | |
| May 7, 2014 at 9:48 | comment | added | j.c. | I think it's worth putting a link to this question with some data here meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/1345/… | |

| Oct 16, 2013 at 11:36 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I'll replace my (obsolete and somewhat redundant comment) by this: Scott Morrison probably wanted to put a link to this question in his previous comment. Several queries of this type are mentioned in the comments there. | |
| Sep 13, 2013 at 1:23 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | @Noah, here's another query, that lists users with no questions or answers, by their number of upvotes. | |
| Aug 19, 2013 at 9:26 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @Noah: I have created some queries here and here. (I am sure that there are many users here at MO with good knowledge of SQL, so I guess we'll have more and better queries now, since MO data are already available in Data Explorer.) | |
| Jul 26, 2013 at 14:56 | comment | added | Alexey Muranov | I have just received an Association Bonus on MO for no apparent reason, i cannot check why i've got it (maybe because i've enabled email notifications with my email used elsewhere on SE). I do not understand the purpose of it. A reputation is a reputation, association bonus is not a reputation. | |
| Jul 23, 2013 at 7:43 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | When viewing users, on the voters tab you can see reputation and number of votes by users (for the last week/month/quarter/year/all time). Of course, a user having low rep need not necessarily be a "barbarian at the gates" (to use the terminology from the OP). | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 19:50 | comment | added | user9072 | Perhaps in the end we need to introduce the guideline that upvotes should be accompanied by comments. | |

| Jul 15, 2013 at 15:24 | comment | added | Steven Landsburg | More data: The user cited in the post has just cast another 3 votes on MO. His/her most recent posting to MSE asks whether an empty set can have a non-empty collection of subsets. | |
| Jul 14, 2013 at 8:29 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I think I recall that there was a suggestion that the upvotes should have different weight based on the reputation of the user casting the vote. (I cannot find a link now, I think that it might be at meta.math.SE.) This might help with your barbarian problem. But I doubt such a feature can be implemented - it is too radical change compared with the system used so far. | |
| Jul 12, 2013 at 16:31 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | I think voting up or down questions influences the scope of the site in a similar fashion as votes to close or reopen a question. Thus I think letting new users vote quickly may be problematic for the site. Also, voting is not really necessary for using the site in terms of asking and answering questions and leaving comments. It is rather a means to help maintaining a certain standard, and to provide feedback on what colleagues think about a particular question or answer. Both purposes are served the better the more knowledgable voters are on average. | |
| Jul 12, 2013 at 1:14 | comment | added | Steven Landsburg | Adding a bit more data: The user in question is now up to 49 votes cast on MO this month, and has posted a question to MSE asking why $0$ is not an element of the set $\lbrace 1,1/2,1/3,\ldots\rbrace$ | |

| Jul 11, 2013 at 17:02 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | A meta-comment. For 'feature-requests' that are either sure to be controversial, or difficult to persuade SE of the value of, could we begin with a [discussion] tagged posted, and then a subsequent [feature-request] post that takes into account the discussion and makes a strong and balanced case for the software change? I think we'll do much better at persuading SE to help us out if we follow a process like this. | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 15:59 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @AsafKaragila Ah yes, you're right. My bad. | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 15:49 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Anna: I assume it does include the vote count, though. It shouldn't be difficult, methinks, to searc for users that didn't ask, answer or edited but have a positive vote count. | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 15:27 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @AsafKaragila Voting is anonymous and the data exposed through the Data Explorer doesn't include user ids for upvotes/downvotes. | |

| Jul 11, 2013 at 9:36 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Noah: Once MO has public data dumps on the Data Explorer, someone with basic SQL capabilities can try and write a query which pulls out people with zero activity and a lot of votes (or with little activity and a lot of votes). | |
| Jul 11, 2013 at 7:15 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | Is there any way for us to get data on this? What percentage of votes are cast by users with 101 rep? | |
