> Alternative option: Only weight votes cast in review - We could make it so the privilege is only awarded for reviewing and would only weight votes cast in close/reopen reviews.

**Please don't do this**. Some people close many, many more questions outside of review than in review. That should _not_ deem their votes less valuable. Additionally, review queues on some sites are almost always empty (like here on MSE or on child-meta sites).

As an example, here are my current stats:

- On Stack Overflow, I've submitted 3,110 close votes vs 102 reviews<sup>1</sup> in the "Close votes" review queue.
- On Meta Stack Overflow, I've submitted 140 close votes, only 8 of which are from review.
