If it’s a good post, can’t it convince people to upvote it? I think the question is, if on average people with high karma have a better sense of what the community is gonna value than those with low karma. Maybe I would like jobst to have more, but most people aren’t jobst.
On balance I still like that that the top forum users have the ability to do some moderation.
But I’d be open to turning it off and seeing how that affects stuff.
