hmm... perhaps.

Use something like the reddit system for ranking posts with a twist.

If you drew a directed graph of all users who have upvoted each other and weighted upvotes based on the previous distance between the 2 nodes.

So 1 upvote from someone very dissimilar to yourself who's a long way from you in the graph who rarely votes becomes far more valuable than 1 upvote from someone who votes on everything, always upvotes every post you make and who's posts you always upvote.

That is some awesome proposal because it is relevant, specific and likely efficiently implementable. Thank you!
