I must say I agree with Hive account@donkeypong on this, it just feels like we have turned a corner with the diversity of content on the site, and this tweak threatens that. I can't see how reducing the influence of whale votes whilst hardly increasing the influence of mass-minnow votes, gets to the root of the problem.

Surely we should be looking at increasing the voting influence of new users who have proven themselves as reputable accounts.

Hopefully this change won't set us back to vote bandwagoning and a top heavy trending page.
