It’s not very different from the current system of three tiers of posts: discussion, main, promoted. Except that situation is much worse because most people don’t know about the middle tier.
That’s not quite what I meant. If you have your interface set to filter out posts with less than +5 votes, as emr did above, that’s fine on its own. If the practice spreads far enough, though, then nobody sees anything, because nobody’s looking at the posts to do the votes to reach the threshold.
Using a positive threshold seems like it could get counterproductive very fast.
