(Based on some questions on meta and my opinion too)

There is an issue with voting system in SO. The supposed problem is that voting isn't working well in answers/questions that:

• Already have many upvotes/downvotes. That means: if user is visiting question with 20+ voted answer - good chances are that he'll upvote that answer just because it already has high rate. Same goes with downvote
• Were posted "too late". There are many questions, answers to which may be done with short explanation and 1-2 links to manual pages (but still that answers may be good) - but, in the same time, answer may involve explanation of CS theory, some deep research e.t.c. - i.e. definitely better than short answers, but takes much longer time to be written. Obviously, good chances are - "fast answer" will get more upvotes, just because it's fast

Since you'll be a moderator, I want to ask - do you think that this supposed problem is actually a problem? How do you feel about this and what may be your suggestions?

Not to be included in question to moderator

It's obvious, that points above may not be treated as problem. And they are not related to moderation directly. But since moderators are supposed to be "leaders of the community" - I want to know their feelings about issues above. So it's my point to ask them about that - because it's very important for me (even in this thread we can see samples of "fastest answers in the West" or "upvoted just because" - in my opinion)
