Two other ways to increase voting and help with filtering would be: 1) give users more voting points to spend on each post (e.g. 5 stars), or 2) simply tell users to vote more either by a post like this one (which has already been done!) or by including a text-prompt next to the vote buttons (although that would probably look uncomfortably commercial-like).

What about users having 1 vote that is next to the score circle, and then 4 more when they reach the bottom of the article?
