    “qualified voter system” sounds all too much like karma that’s readily gamed with repost bots creating a worse experience for everyone.

      Mods can alter who becomes qualified.

      But lets face it, there are already a ton of reposters here already.

        I’d be surprised if users routinely recognised one another, but perhaps I’ve just not participated much in the past.

        Interestingl, linked elsewhere in this thread, there is a middle ground between global karma and existing mod opinion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2377401

        Effectively rather than considering the total upvotes/down votes you could consider only the votes cast by already trusted members. Although it may be a little too close to MeowMeowBeenz

          Yeah. I would pick karma within the community as a rough basis. Even then, I would keep the karma limit low to prevent a MeowMeowBeenz issue. It just shows that you’re a participating member of the community.
