O.P. Rep. system: different "vote strength" based on rank?
As you may remember, in the old reputation system, votes from admins were worth 3 points, mods worth 2, Elites worth 1. Should the new reputation system be like that or should everyone be equal?

This was more of an issue with the old system, where you could vote for the same user multiple times. Now it's much harder to abuse your reputation power. I still feel like having a vote though, to see what everyone thinks.

I would say for everyone to have the same voting power :).

if this is the most voted option, I'd like that the votes aren't 3 times more significat (like in the previous system). No more than 2 times.

I was thinking about it more after I posted the poll and logged off... I've now added a new option that I support, and maybe some of you "no" voters will like it too... :p

Uhh... this isn't a government election... :p

And being a staff member isn't really comparable to being rich... we're staff members for a reason... we know the board best, and we're in charge, so I think our opinions are a bit more important. :blah!:

If we were rich, we wouldn't be sitting here deleting crappy spam... :p

(spammers vote is equal to staff's vote? I don't like that idea tbh)

Blah... that message wasn't worth quoting... it could have been written better and less arrogant-sounding :-/ :blah!:
