(Based on [some][1] [questions][2] 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)
