The voting system fails due to psychology. If you see 2 posts one that is upvoted and one is downvoted most people will add upvotes to the upvoted post and downvote the downvoted one even if the upvoted one is completely factual wrong and the downvoted one is completely correct.
An elite voting system will not change that. People are stupid.
Also alt accounts and bots will have a lot more power to manipulate votes which will result in more of what i wrote on top ending up with subs that look like circlejerks
At least this way new users won't be discouraged in posting when they make an innocent comment and get 50 downvotes like on reddit.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
