Currently with only 3 votes per day I find it hard to just choose the outstanding content that I want to see more of. My vote is one of those votes that have the extra power at this moment in time. Those of us with only a few votes are the ones that are pushing some of the emails over the 20 vote threshold for a verified email. There are not enough votes in the system yet to push 50% of the emails over the verified level. I also perceive there is some use of downvotes to punish people, so I try not to get on the down vote people's radar screen.
I also plan on selling a few Listnerds and buying CTP with the proceeds. Have you thought of a pool/method to swap them in listnerds?
