Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Jul 15, 2011 at 15:46 comment added Robert Cartaino @Jeff: I'm not sure I agree with the premise of a pending, convertible future vote (yet). Part of earning reputation is to defer abilities until you have experience to use them properly. New users are not necessarily voting for the "right reasons" that comes with experience. In the US we don't let minors vote until they have the experience and maturity to make such a decision. Likewise, we don't let 16-year olds cast "fake" votes convertible to real votes should the candidate run for re-election. In time, facts change, posts are edited, better answers added. Votes should be cast in real-time.
Jul 15, 2011 at 11:46 comment added Jeff Atwood not a bad idea, but only really possible once you hold at least an unregistered (cookie based) account at 1 rep. For true anons, who have yet to ask or answer anything, this would be extremely difficult.
Jul 15, 2011 at 11:36 comment added Jan Fabry @Brock Adams: The tracking would probably be cookie based, similar to how anonymous users are tracked now, no? I would not count downvotes (similar to how you can't downvote until you have 125 rep, or can't downvote comments). (I see a difference between an answer that was not helpful and one that really deserves a downvote)
Jul 15, 2011 at 10:48 comment added Awesome Poodles Sounds good, but how would you register/track these votes? By IP? The first guy to set up an account from a large, corporate, NAT-protected IP could get credit for a lot of votes. Maybe okay for up-votes. Bad-news for down-votes.
