Strange things on Steemit -- How can new members get in when the door is blocked?

Your voting power goes down every time you vote... when you start out your voting power is low so you can only do a couple votes... as you build up power you can vote more often.

That's kind of goofy: the more you vote, the more you loose! ?? Who thought of that and why?

It's not goofy. It prevents mindless voting and abusive voting. Someone could vote on thousands of articles without having read one... how does that benefit the platform?

Also someone could create multiple accounts and have them vote hundreds of times on everything the "main account" puts out... limiting votes is a must if we are to be paid for votes...

There's wisdom in everything, I guess... (kinda)--
