I like the rule about needing upvotes (upvoats?) before a user can start downvoting people. Maybe there's something akin to that? Like the more positive reception for your posts, the faster and more often you can vote?

Of course, creating power users can have its own set of problems...

Yeah that kind of leads to power users. Someone who saturated the subs with submissions would naturally end up with more voats and have an easier time spamming loads of submissions.

I like the voat throttles a lot too, it pushes people to focus on content. Not sure how you could do that for submissions in general outside of a blanket throttle for everyone that just naturally slows down submissions (normal posters wouldn't experience it, but spamming posters would have to wait to submit more and more posts).
