Overall, agree on the whole asshole filter thing. After a few months of operation, we now have a bunch more data on how people vote, and so might make some adjustments to the system after we analyzed the data a bunch more.
I am currently tending towards a system where your strong-upvotes get weaker the more often you use them, using some kind of “exhaustion” mechanic. I think this still would cause a small amount of overrepresentation by people who use it a lot, but I think would lessen the strength of the effect. I am mostly worried about the UI complexity of this, and communicating this clearly to the user.
Also still open to other suggestions. I am not a huge fan of just leaving them unlimited, mostly because I think it’s somewhat arbitrary to what degree someone will perceive them as a trivial inconvenience, and then we just introduced a bunch of random noise into our karma system, by overrepresenting people who don’t find click-and-hold to be a large inconvenience.
