As
I was reading this post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@shayne/attention-steemit-minnows-you-have-been-given-a-opportunity-and-trusted-with-great-power-start-using-it-or-you-will-lose-it it dawned on me, when someone pointed out differences between the steemit.com interface for small/new accounts and the rest of us.
I even narrowly avoided falling under 1000SP recently, and didn't get to see one of the important changes, see number 3:
The interface has self voting by default
The ability to vote on one's comments, even though this is meaningless
Minnows don't have a vote slider, until, I think, 1000SP - thus they cannot distribute their votes more evenly
Point three, completely slipped my mind. I remember when it was implemented, and it did not show up on my account until a while after because I was a minnow at the time.
A quick search on 'vote slider' brings this up as top link:
Once a user reaches 1 MilliVest (which right now equates to 482.398 Steem Power), they will gain access to the vote slider bar. This lets you determine how much of a vote you want to give a person. Since we have a limited number of full (100%) votes a days without it effecting our voting power, sometimes we want to give a partial votes to more people.
Note that this post is pre-HF19. 
I have posted an issue on the github for the steemit interface (condenser) https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/1544
