In other words, the vote of a Legendary was worth more than a Member.
You probably mean "the vote of an more experienced and dedicated member is worth more" here, instead. All experienced and dedicated members are legendaries (or that's where they're heading to), but not all legendaries are experienced and dedicated. And I'll have to disagree with this thinking. Being a year here is equivalent to being a decade when it comes to judging the quality content.
That's not quite what I mean. A Legendary doesn't need merit to level up, so it's less influenceable - in that respect.
As an example (just an example): a Legendary vote was worth 4 votes, while a Member's vote was only worth 2. This is an example, it doesn't have to be that way.
That is, there was not so much interest in assigning "bribe" with merits users to receive votes.
PS: With these exchanges of ideas, we end up giving ideas to those who think trying to manipulate the results.
