Oh, we had a long discussion about the need for condorcet voting, not a system like the reddit which is prone to abuse.

Also, it would be good to have the images inline.

Perfect, please meet better. Better, perfect. Now get along you two!

Since January 1st, we could've had hundreds or thousands of votes and easily compensated for any abuse.

Unfortunately, reddit isn't a suitable voting site, as submissions decay over time, dissappearing off the page after a day or two. It does have up and down mods, but in no other way is a voting site.

That's how the what's hot works, I understand. But it seems to me that Top works just fine for vote tallying purposes eg. http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/top/ lists quite a few posts posted months ago (4 months seems to be the oldest). -- gwern
