I feel like if implemented generally, this would punish lurkers who have presumably been contributing to voting patterns for quite some time.

I feel like if implemented generally, this would punish lurkers who have presumably been contributing to voting patterns for quite some time.

It would limit or remove the voting capability of lurkers. I'm not sure this is a bad thing (even though some of the people who do not comment probably do have good judgement). Either way "punishment" isn't the right the right word.
