I think this kind of voting system intentionally places the content people want to see (i.e. agree with), at the top which increases active users.
But it doesn't stimulate healthy debate and definitely doesn't encourage going against the mainstream.
Slashdot had a more interesting system that let only a select number of people rank quality and set a post category (like funny, informative, etc).
I think it's a nice sentiment, but you can't change emergent behavior just by saying "this is wrong"
This is wrong.
