People who contribute positively to the governance of the network get more privileges, and that's how it should be. I like how some random 100K+ SO user can't just come in here and throw his/her weight around just because he/she lives and breathes Stack Overflow. The governance issues go much deeper than just simply how many questions you've asked or answered on the actual sites. In other words, to community moderate Meta, you have to actually be a part of Meta. Hope this helps! | |

You're certainly an experienced meta user that understands to not judge a book by its cover, but I think many people (myself included) simply by the desire to save time, steer away from -10 or less questions. | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 23:44 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard Mod | @Conner I don't really think of SE users as Pavlovian dogs. I can read at least a question title to decide for myself whether I want to read the question without being influenced by the score. | |
| Aug 12, 2012 at 23:35 | comment | added | Conner | One thing I think might be helpful is the ability to more easily see how many upvote/downvotes a question has received. Unlike other sites wherein negative votes indicate a poorly thought out post, on meta the post may have 30 positive votes but negative 40 votes. This makes it display as a -10 on the question list even though there may be quite a bit of support for the post. I feel like as a force of Pavlovian training this may say to stackexchange users, "why bother even reading this?", potentially keeping other supporters from viewing the post and voting on it. | |
