I guess that most of the positive votes vould normaly be from people from lover levels (students etc) since those vere seeking help in first place. and negative ones from higher levels since those can usually can make even better article.
Most of the higher levels usually ranted about formatting etc but their rant was lost in positive feedback of peopple to whose it really helped. They usually reformat it their way anyway. 
That's the reason I think system was kinda balanced when everyone could vote.
The only think I would do for start is
Disabling voting scores lower than 4 from accounts that don't have articles with at least score 4 on them. Also maybe regognizing one user using multiple accounts for voting (via cookie / ip ?).
Now the tactical voting can be solved be solved by calculating score from votes older than 24h ? This way articles vould have 24h time to find audience.

It is hoped that gold+ members can distinguish sub-optimal but non-dangerous code from dangerous code.
If the code presented is dangerous, then sure, vote 1. But if it's OK, but I can do better, then a 1 may not be in order.

I've had it from both ends, I'm pretty sure mostly from the bottom end of the spectrum.
Ladislav Nevery wrote: They usually reformat it their way anyway
Exactly.
Ladislav Nevery wrote: regognizing one user using multiple accounts
I doubt that's possible.
All in all, I don't really care about the rating.

Somehow that is not very democratic.
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

I think there is a need, given recent discussions, and a couple of requests, for a group to be set up.
Invitations freely given.
Name : "My Big Fat Geek Kitchen"
Subject : Curry, Chilli and other Spicy Food Recipes.
Rules : Open to all, but format to be observed...
(Overview, Ingredients, Equipment, Method, Observations).
Header Rule : Opening Thread of any Recipe must begin with Vegetarian, Chicken, Beef etc then whether it is a curry or whatever else, (just to make scanning easier).
There are a lot of amateur chefs here, and we all have our fave dishes, it would be nice to have a place to share them.

GFY! 
We have had several Curry Threads recently, and there was a chilli thread not so long ago, and I have just been asked about setting up a group, so I thought, "Why not?".

Was only kidding: good idea. Love anything that stings both ends though preferably not at the same time...

I was just looking at the Who's Who @ CP and noticed David Cunningham's Author Rep points to be -60. David-Cunningham[^]
The Rep FAQ shows negative points for Articles/Tips/Tech blogs being downvoted, however David does not have any Articles/Tips/Tech Blogs listed under his profile, so I cannot see how someone can downvote nothing.
The only reason I ask is that it stood out on the page for some reason and went digging.
How can this negative have come about?
Dave

Not a problem.
Anything to help smote them before they become a nuisance.
Of course they will probably just sign up for another ID once that one is blocked. 
There is not much you can do about that unless you can determine that their IP address is unique to them and filter on that.
