I've always liked the idea of needing to "spend" your useless internet points to vote. New accounts would have to actually participate in the site to be able to vote (or gain something like a few points a day), and users who participate a lot would rarely, if ever, run out of points.

This would be a VERY fundamental change, however, and I'm sure there would be too many drawbacks to such a system.

EDIT: feel free to continue down-voting a mere opinion when I already said it wouldn't work.
