I have an idea for a better voating system. Call it voatdrama - every upvoat in a subreddit will increase the power of your next downvoat, the modifiers for this can be experimented with but essentially - every time you upvoat in a particular sub you increase the power of your next downvoat.
Scenario: Starting with a upvoat/downvoat ratio of 1/0.01 So if you voatup 20 times you get a downvoat boost of 0.03207 If you voatup 100 time you get a downvoat boost of 3.2 voatupping 168 times will give you a downvoat of 168 - and there it caps.
I suspect it will encourage less downvoat brigading, in order for that to work, there will be a brigading pattern such that it will be easy to identify and eliminate.
Not sure how it currently works - feel free to call me an idiot if this is a known system...

won't this create power users who can bury content ?.... like digg

yes but it will reset every time you use one downvoat and then you have to build up again.
