No, I mean that weaker users can be buried by stronger ones (preventing visibility and therefore upvotes). Or that new users can be buried by more seasoned or more active users. It's true that the systems I've seen on other boards don't work just like your proposal, but it seems like the outcome could be the same. An initiation period does force contribution, but rewarding usage with vote power will obviously lead to power users having a multiplication of the power they would otherwise have over the content.
